Complete and utter nonsense. This is why you are supposed to investigate shit before spouting ignorant drivel. They know less than zero about the DPRK. And worst of all is that they feel entitled to shit all over how the DPRK does socialism when they have achieved fuckall in their own country. The most laughable is calling them a
neo-colony“semi-colony”. The DPRK is literally the most fiercely independent country in the world. They are no one’s colony. And there is also no “foreign and domestic capital” in the DPRK, they have an almost entirely planned and nationalized economy.Not ‘neo-colony’, ‘semi-colony’, which is even more laughable when you look at it etymologically.
I would said they confused Koreas, but the occupied one is not even pretending very much to be sovereign.
Lol, my bad, i misread because “semi-colony” is such a stupid, nonsense term, like how the fuck does that work? Being a colony is not like having an erection, there’s no semi. Either they are one or they aren’t. Also whose colony? China’s? A laughable notion if you know anything about the historical and current relation between the two. And that’s the thing with western ultras, they don’t know anything.
Ultras think North Korea is a half chub 😂 Now there’s a comparison I never thought I’d hear.
Why would the bourgeois class of North Korea isolate themselves if Juche is meant to serve them? I don’t get how this makes sense to them.
I hate using language like this usually, but that line of thought of ultras is fundamentally un-marxist. The core idea of scientific socialism and marxism is that history and society don’t develop randomly, but are guided by certain laws and logics at certain stages of development. That makes capitalism predictable and study-able, because its internal logic makes certain developments a necessity.
But then why the hell does this supposed DPRK bourgeoisie in this Juche capitalism behave so fundamentally different to any other bourgeois nation? Why is it not subject to the same laws and necessities?
Because somehow this distinct phenomenon capitalism somehow for some reason behaves differently in one half of the Korean peninsula compared to the rest of the world? Or is it just simply not capitalism?
Bourgeois = anyone who doesn’t work in a factory I guess
They never read Juche. If they did, they’re using a maoist source which usually uses misquoted soruces, such as stating that Juche is somehow expressing ‘limitations’ of Marxist theory.
Just wanna bounce off this and say that I recommend wholeheartedly every comrade read Kim Il-sung. I know from the outside looking in it can feel as if Juche is a distinctly Korean thing, but I believe there really is a beautiful philosophy underpinning it that can be extrapolated outward, if not necessarily universally. There is plenty of wisdom in it that can alter one’s personal mindset as well - no liberal or “apolitical” self-help book will ever affect me quite the way reading into Juche has.
Juche is less Marxism-Leninism applied to Korea than what is often referred to as “Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism”, which is functionally the “Stalinism” re: Korea, meaning simply Marxism-Leninism with Korean characteristics. Juche is its own, imo wonderful thing that underpins the revolutionary Korean social psyche that all revolutionaries could learn from.
This line is fucking bullshit. Calling the DPRK fascist is calling yourself irrelevant, DPRKorea is the one state that has undergone almost no market reforms, ridiculous.
God if there’s anything that goes more well together, it is that both Maoists and the Liberals both hate the DPRK.
How on earth is the DPRK a ‘semi-colony’? What the fuck even is a semi-colony? You’re either under imperialism (which the majority of the world is) or you’re imperialist. There’s little to no nations which are not imperialised. This can be applied to colonialism, as colonialism is a form of imperialism.
Secondly, the DPRK is the most isolationist out of the 5 socialist nations, even more so than Cuba. They do, however, primarily trade with China. Is China and the DPRK exchanging resources with each other an act of exploitation? Because it isn’t.
Also the DPRK is somehow fascist. Basically undermining fascism and what it truly means. I mean the Naxalites in India called Gandhi a fascist at one point, so I’m not surprised.
Juche is not a ‘useless’ philosophy. It’s a philosophy that applies well to the DPRK. We can discuss whether Juche is universal or not, but what matters is that the Juche ideology works well for the DPRK, and it is concrete towards the nation. There is no bourgeois class in the DPRK in the same manner that there is no bourgeois class in the USSR.
Also standing against ‘revisionism’. I agree. We must stand against Maoism, as it is inherently revisionist. Not against the so-called ‘revisionist’ nations like China or DPRK.
This reads like a German wrote it.
