Before communism

2019-10-08 22:04:40 UTC  

Well

2019-10-08 22:04:42 UTC  

Weird

2019-10-08 22:04:49 UTC  

Soviet style commies, the ones that fascists fought in WW2

2019-10-08 22:06:30 UTC  

They aren't. They do have portraits of Lenin on in some buildings, but they aren't Communists. Their ideology is much more nationalistic and traditionalist and they simply don't probably even know what Nazis and Fascists really are because all their information came from the Soviets and they used it as a word for everyone they don't like.

2019-10-08 22:06:53 UTC  

It seems the only reason why they ever discouraged Christianity was because of association with the US

2019-10-08 22:07:44 UTC  

And because the US actually has attempted to spy on them using Protestant churches.

2019-10-08 22:09:46 UTC  

Man, it's not like the soviets weren't nationalist or traditionalist. but nationalism doesn't make a nation necessarily ok. Especially when their policy is lying to their people and as the state stealing all their fucking properties and make them starve to death

2019-10-08 22:11:54 UTC  

They just missed "sending dog to space" on the good communist nation checklist

2019-10-08 22:13:19 UTC  

daily reminder the fastest object in the world is a manhole cover

2019-10-08 22:14:03 UTC  

North Korea is unepic

2019-10-08 22:16:30 UTC  

I'd say DPRK is far more nationalist and traditionalist than the USSR was.

2019-10-08 22:18:02 UTC  

North Korean propaganda isn't much worse than propaganda against it, it's just cruder and more old-fashioned.

2019-10-08 22:19:09 UTC  

And planned economy is not new to Korea as well.

2019-10-08 22:19:58 UTC  

The DPRK funds fascist groups in the US.

2019-10-08 22:22:19 UTC  

Nice thing about DPRK is that they keep the totalitarian tradition of building huge structures.

2019-10-08 22:24:13 UTC  

They actually build neoclassical buildings mixing that with modern and traditional Korean styles.

2019-10-08 22:24:15 UTC  

Ah yes, North Korea is based because they maintain their culture of ensuring their whole populations gets damned to hell with state atheism and churches for diplomats, and le epic brutalist architecture

2019-10-08 22:24:34 UTC  

Nothing says traditionalism and cultural preservation like massive disgusting concrete slobs

2019-10-08 22:25:07 UTC  

There are traditional motifs in them.

2019-10-08 22:26:02 UTC  

As I said, 1.7% of North Koreans are Christians. Those churches aren't just for diplomats.

>concrete slobs

2019-10-08 22:27:25 UTC  

If brutalism is your tradition then you should through out your tradition

2019-10-08 22:28:54 UTC  

Also concrete slobs aren't necessarily bad if done correct.

2019-10-08 22:31:04 UTC  

I still prefer more traditional styles tho.

2019-10-08 22:46:07 UTC  
2019-10-08 22:46:20 UTC  

Their state is stalinism encarnate

2019-10-08 22:46:36 UTC  

How can you defend a marxist state

2019-10-08 22:50:23 UTC  

@Mankn II China is literally more Marxist than DPRK at this point.

2019-10-08 22:51:14 UTC  

doubt

2019-10-08 22:51:21 UTC  

They took elements that differentiated Stalinism from common Marxism and pushed them further.

2019-10-08 22:51:29 UTC  

DPRK is basically the Soviet Union

2019-10-08 22:51:29 UTC  

Making themselves based.

2019-10-08 22:51:42 UTC  

exept they are very isolationists

2019-10-08 22:51:53 UTC  

why would a support such a degenerate state

2019-10-08 22:51:53 UTC  

USSR was a liberal paradise compared to DPRK.
