You give the reactionaries too much credit. Communists can spot fake communists a mile away, it's just a question of how much we're willing to tolerate in our regions. North Korea will tolerate freedom of discussion in all aspects outside of oppressive speech, through respectful discourse and intelligent conversation. Our region has a long history of open discussion and democratic centralism.

In response to another post of yours;
Does the DPRK 'have it out for the U.S.' or do the U.S. 'have it out for the DPRK'?
All Marxists see what transpired in the 20th century between the capitalist and socialist states for what it is, a first confrontation in what will be a series of historically necessary confrontations, the thesis, antitheses and eventual synthesis of economy (historical materialism). The existing capitalist states can try as they might to stomp out socialist revolution wherever it occurs but they are fighting an inevitable losing battle, for it will forever return, such is the contradictions in class society under the capitalist system.
The DPRK is not hostile to the 'U.S.', however it knows through lessons of history that it is the capitalist states' job to stomp on revolutionary democracy wherever it spring to life, all of the 20th century has taught them this, so why should they not prepare to defend themselves? Why is the insistence on ICBM's over anything else not mandatory? The cold war has shown that the only deterrence to American imperialism (especially of the military variety) is to show true equality in capability in some form. The ability of the DPRK to "reach out and touch" its attacker almost guarantees its safety from foreign intervention. With the DPRK's military budget being around 25% of its economy (during the cold war USSR and USA estimates were near 50%) I think just how much the DPRK government denies its citizens in favor of military hardware is overblown ( also one must keep in mind the many tasks of the Korean Peoples Army, taking care of many infrastructure projects such as bridge and dam building and construction crews for many uses in the public realm).
Fair enough, I should note the productivity of the program in general and include in it my analysis; however, the excerpt you posted was of a mildly misappropriated context, as 'Evilness' was more or less a term synonymous with 'perceived threat', as one of our colleagues was asking about the relevance of the DPRK in the post cold-war era, specifically its highly revolutionary attitudes. I feel that it was minor mischaracterization of my entire opinion on the DPRK, but your criticisms are valid, so will abstain from any vain attempts to counter such a well-built argument. Changed my view, tovarishch.

No offense taken, friend; thanks for the implications you entered to curb any incontext.
Supporting the just struggle of the Korean people:
On 23-24 June representatives of organisations working to support the DPRK and the reunification of Korea, hailing from 12 countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas, gathered in Paris to discuss issues of common interest and ways of furthering their common goals. The UK was represented by CPGB-ML Vice Chair, Ella Rule, from whose speech we give excerpts below. The various organisations represented gave impressive details of the work that they have been doing, and at the end of the Conference a Final Declaration was agreed in the following terms:

The Black Hawks have a long history of unseating Delegates who have served at their post for more than one year, most notably in Forest where they unseated a Delegate who'd served for 8 years and in Texas where they unseated a Delegate who'd served for 10 years irrespective of whether or not the WAD has regional controls. As for why they moved so early, I would assume that either the trigger was off or that they were attempting to thorn Defenders/have the Defenders get caught in the update.

Hello from the FAC,
Currently in our region we're deciding which regional tags we should be using and we noticed that there is no option for the tag "feminist" to be included. It was mentioned on our rmb that the tag "anarchist" presumes "feminist", a point I don't think rings true. Feminism is not a niche interest or obscure political ethic. It transcends the minor and petty differences of varying philosophical and moral ideals, just as anti-fascism, anti-racism and gay liberation does. If the regional tags of "anti-fascist" and "LGBT" are available to use as regional tags shouldn't it follow that "feminist" should also be available? Especially when you consider such inane tags as "anime", "snarky" and "steampunk" are options.
I am posting this to see if there is any will among us to have "feminist" added to the regional tags cloud. I have posted on the forum asking for advice from the mods about what the procedure to do this might be.
Thanks.

I would totally support this, I think it's a fantastic idea. In fact I'm a little disappointed we didn't think of it.
Personally, I don't think any comrades here could argue against it, and I doubt any would want to, to begin with. I think it's safe to say that you have the 100% backing of North Korea in this quest and if there's anything we can do, please let us know.
How Seattle Leftists Learned to Love the Gun:
Right now, Albert’s focus is on teaching unarmed self-defense to the local LGBTQ community. But he has no intention of getting rid of his guns, and he’s not interested in justifying their necessity to other leftists. “As long as we have a white-supremacist system where police, military, and rich white people have guns, why would you want to disarm the people most likely to be affected by that violence? I have no plans to get rid of my guns at any time if I can avoid it.”

Not as serious as most of the stuff I post around here, but we have gone a decent stretch without talking about the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Radiohead in Israel: A fig leaf for apartheid:
In defence of his actions, Yorke claimed that "playing in a country isn't the same as endorsing its government". Generally, this is of course true. But the dynamic changes when an oppressed people, who have lived for 50 years under occupation and been subjected to ethnic cleansing for almost 70 years, ask for international support through boycott. All Israeli governments - not just the less liberal ones, as the musician's statement implied - have upheld settler colonialism. As such, when an artist consciously chooses to refuse an indigenous people's request for solidarity, they become complicit in normalising the status quo.

A look at the PYD's growing relationship with Saudi Arabia:
Analysis: Shift in Rhetoric Among Kurdish Politicians in Syria
Kurdish political officials in Syria are taking an increasingly anti-Iranian and pro-Saudi Arabia stance amid the rising tensions between Washington, Tehran and their proxies, and the rift between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, writes journalist Wladimir van Wilgenburg.

It's not often that the priorities of large sections of the Western "Left" are shown as starkly as this:

Notice where imperialism is on the poll. Keep in mind that this is the largest self-described "socialist" organization in the United States right now.

It's this kind of stuff that creates a small ache of self hatred in my guts every time I think of myself as a socialist.
I think that these kind of ideas open the door to fascism. The reality tunnels of this strain of leftist are bound up in the ideas of the modern state and nation pride. They are the soft underbelly of national socialism. Relying on hierarchical systems, believing they can change the system from within and generally being blindly optimistic idealist windbags. What are these fools going to do when the bastards come for them? They'll bend the knee and become bourgeois apologists, if not something worse, that's what they'll do. They've done it before, in Italy, Greece, Portugal, Iran, South Africa, the list goes on. These "leftists" shuffle like zombies into the arms of the far right, chanting fascist anti-globalist mantras thinking it's anti-capitalism. But they're not fascists yet, there's still hope for these ill educated self-centred drones. We have to show them that there are better alternatives.

Good article socialism is good but suppose the govt is providing any service to people and if it has to be efficient then PPP (Public Private Partnership) will make it efficient
Tibet rises from poverty: fantasy and reality:
As a result of Hollywood and a fascination with Buddhism among certain celebrities and in some bohemian circles, many Americans are deeply misinformed about Tibet. The reality is that the Tibet Autonomous Region’s position, as part of the People’s Republic of China, has been overwhelmingly good for the population. As part of China’s 13th Five Year Plan (2016-2020), the Sichuan-Tibet Railway is under construction to link remote and mountainous parts of the region to the rest of the world. The poverty alleviation programs sponsored by the central government have provided modern housing for 236,000 Tibetans, many of whom had previously lived without running water and electricity. The programs form part of China’s goal to completely eliminate such dire conditions by 2020.

US hypocrisy in the face of the DPRK nuclear tests – support the just stance of the DPRK:
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been the target of an increased focus in the Western media as of late, especially focused around their continued missile test-launches. Imperialist media seems to be trying to provoke a hysteria in the Western imperialist nations, through speculations about who and what the DPRK are going to bomb and misrepresentations of Korean statements to give the sense to the casual reader that a nuclear strike from the so called ‘hermit kingdom’ is imminent. But what is the nature of the DPRK’s missile tests? And why are the Western media trying to promote a frenzy?
