Got banned from other subreddits for this but here I go again. I consider myself a socialist, very pro Cuba, Vietnam and Laos, highly critical of Stalin and Moa but sympathetic to modern day China. Even though I have qualms with Moa (cultural revolution was a bit of a flop but I know that wasn’t his fault entirely and it had positives) and after reading a lot of work in the gulags Stalin did seem to be overly authoritarian though he did raise quality of life for many people. My main problem with this sort of modern communist Reddit community is the defence of North Korea. I do not think North Korea is defensible, South Koreans enjoy a quality of life that is clearly higher and it’s almost impossible for me to wrap my brain around anyone defending that regime. Thoughts?

The north had a large number of their population killed in the Korean War, they have stupid amount of sanctions on it, and have to deal with the south practicing invading them every year.

But does that justify torture and a system where son governs after father?

Kim Jong un and Kim jong I’ll are and were not head of state. Torture isn’t justifiable imo, hence why we support things critically, with nuance. And not denying that it happens in the country, im sure it does, just not nearly to the scale I assume you think it is. Most the shit we hear about the DPRK is bs. Either half truths or just made up lies.
