Stalinism/Authoritarian Communism is disliked by most on the left
Most people consider tankies traitors
and just don't trust them...
Well, traitors or immature
Besides some anti-sectarians I suppose
But I wouldn't call them a majority at all...
I also like how communism, Islam, and the EU are somehow linked.
or Islam and the LGBTQ+ community...
NatSocs are often spergs and don't understand what fascism is meant to represent
I mean
I fucking loathe most major concepts behind fascism
But I have to admit, they've got a nice aesthetic
I'd hate-fuck a fascist, y'know?
Anyways.
I think the North Koreans have good aesthetics
Juche is a form of nationalistic communism, so
It literally translates to "Self-reliance"
Self-reliance is a terrible idea.
Do you know what that means?
It decreases efficiency and productivity
It means you can live without any outside influence.
While one should have a sufficient amount of resources to become self-reliant within a short time if need be
International trade should be the centerpiece of any economy
Comparative advantages and all that
You don't *have* to live self-reliant, but the ability to be does not have any ill effect.
You'll end up getting more stuff as a result
Peacetime self-reliance is just a negative overall
The USA has no need to trade with the outside world.
@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 Are you a Jew
They can grow basically any kind of produce, if they managed resources and recycled properly they could theoretically, and I think practically shutter the borders and trade.
Sure, but it's a better idea to trade economically
Having an absolute advantage in everything doesn't mean you'll have a comparative advantage
It's literally impossible to have a comparative advantage in everything
I mean, it's pretty basic economics ngl
Well, if the USA just closed itself off, how much harm would actually come to them as opposed to their trading partners?
Probably very little.
Quite a bit.
The US would, overall, have less goods.
