Some commie say that without the work of Mao, China wouldn't be capable of rapid industrialization under Xi Jiping, even if that's true, the cost of cultures being lost was far to great in my opinion

I mostly dislike the People's Republic because of Xinjiang,Inner Mongolia and Hannification, overall they are decent enough

North Korea was 100x better(Under Sung, not the son/grandson) tough

eh, I think that Maoists are generally speaking wrong. Yes, China couldn't have advanced as fast as it did if it weren't for Mao's policies. However, it was an incredibly mixed bag - some good, common sense policies yielded great benefits but others, like Great Leap Forward, were just fucking brainlet attempts at modernising that obviously were going to fail and did fail with catastrophic consequences

soviet russia industrialized rapidly under stalin but it was still shitty

It is similar to what happened in Albania, Hoxhaism did some good, but the cost of State Atheism was great

oh yeah Hoxhaism wasn't very good either

yugoslavia industrilized under tito as well but I still stand that the yugo would be better off under a king and as a monarchy in post ww2 period

Hoxha *did* upgrade many infrastructural aspects and distribute services to an improved standard, but I think that it was a net negative in the end for Albania

If the King could maintain stability like Tito could, maybe

Tito's form of communism was probably the ideal way for Yugo, esp. after WW2

no way around it

and I'm glad it went down that path,

even if I have left Titoism, tenets of which I used to adhere to before, I still have immense respect for SFRY

and would like to replicate many aspects of its system

What are you currently?

at this point I think I can be called a Khrushchevite of some kind

wtf

how is this on BBC news cycle

why is this news?

because it's pewdiepie

oh I forgot, its bourgeois media

our future Führor

therefore not actual journalism

u think North Korea has actual journalism?

BBC is owned by the British State

the liberal capitalist state

socialist democracy that is also capitalist

but still makes u pay for national news and tv

It's an Illegitimate Government is all it is

it is not tho

u voted for it

That is part of why it's illegitimate

@AdorableStormtrooper have you ever seen bourgeois reporting in the 2010s that was actually worthwhile?

I sure haven't

Democracy is shit anyways

the most groundbreaking revelations have always come from whistleblowers like WikiLeaks

some stuff by Breitbart can be good

not from investigative journalists

nope
