North Korea

It seems we've fallen a little behind on covering recent events on the regional message board. I want to publically recognize that many comrades here in NK are American and are dealing with sumounting pressures at home with the pandemic and political climate. While I'm ignorant on the events that took place in Washington last week, as I have only been keeping myself updated with bourgeois news articles I want to state that what was done appears, at least on the border of the Americans neariest neighbour to have been a very serious defiling of bourgeois democracy in the United States.

On the bourgeois news today I heard that several corporations have begun to withdraw financial support from republican senators and the 'Trumpists' - and this is big news indeed. Money is the oxogen of American politics. In other news, social media platforms seem to have taken a stand as well blocking the 'Trumpists' accounts even in the most right wing fringes of internet message boards and social media platform.

As a student of history, the events of last weekend had a certain "Beer Hall Putsch' flavour to them, recent news articles suggest armed protests at the capitals of some 50 states by the 'Trumpists' could occur on January 17. Things may get worse.

The Coronavirus pandemic is claiming near four thousand American lives every day, nearly twice as many as the national average in even the nearest statistic nation (Brazil around two thousand lives per day). Things may get worse, before they get better.

We are in dangerous times for the American communist. Armed fascist gangs show their faces in broad daylight and even the state, usually sympathetic to right wing causes (because the nature of the right is generally supporting the bourgeois status quo) is horrified. We are in times of open fascist terror.

To many working people around the world and indeed in America, the events of last weekend may roll off their backs like water on a duck, falsly finding comfort knowing the bourgeois state will last forever, Biden will heal the division and American politics will continue down the roads of dozens of more Bush's, Clintons, Obama's and Reagans. Those of us who see the world through a Marxist lens know different. BOurgeois capitalist politics are only a phase which will decay and deform to be the birthplace of fascism, in all capitalist nation states. This is the nature of capitalism/imperialism, it carries the seed of fascism within. The real question to be asked is when will this seed be germinated and begin to grow?

Solidarity with my American comrades enduring troubled times. In five years time will you still be struggling against the bourgeois state or should we instead meet the fate of Gramsci? Stay close with your revolutionary organizations and please stay safe.

Revolutionary regards
