The Communist Bloc

Cuba is nothing like North Korea, nobody in Cuba believes Fidel Castro had supernatural abilities.

And Cuba does not WANT nuclear weapons, since it has better ways to spend its resources.

North Korea is NOT trying to build socialism, and I will NOT defend such a vile, cultist regime.

Not every nation who (ab)uses a red star is to be justified.

North Korea repeatedly threatened to destroy both Japan and South Korea, which would cause hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths, which shows the regimes inability to distinguish between the capitalist regimes and the local population.

Citation needed. North Korea is just like any other place. Its people are just like any other people. What you are spouting is nothing more than sensationalist Western propaganda, and not the actual views of the North Korean people of Kim Jung Un or of their state.

North Korea is justified in its defensive actions to defend what it has developed and its people. Look at any other country that has actually listened to the United States and played ball on these matters, like Libya. If North Korea was demilitarized, it would undoubtedly face an attack unless China decided to intervene big time, and even then who knows what would happen. And why do you only attack North Korea? Why don't you criticize the United States who has been on their border, continuously arming themselves, for the last sixty years? Surely it's reasonable that if they or any other nation in opposition to imperialist powers were demilitarize, countries like the United States should first.

Engaging in blatant whataboutery and trying to deflect the cult of personality around the Kim dynasty doesn't help your case here. One can be a socialist without being the bootlicker of a quasi-fascist regime that is borderline Strasserite in nature.

I'd have to be the 3rd Comrade to condemn the "People's" Korea. I do not understand how any Socialist could defend DPRK. Socialism in its very nature is to defend the working class of any nation. The DPRK has created its own class of bourgeois that uses the proletariat to continue its reign of terror. We only have to look at how its food distribution system has failed since the 90s. How the Korean proletariat starves and is forced to use its black market just to survive. How the regime created a hereditary "Communist" State (the first and hopefully last of its kind). None of this is Western propaganda it is only truth.

I mean north korea is exactly like USSR was... (was bout to combare it with stalin CCCP but stalins USSR was worse )
Sooo its safe to say north korea is like every other country...
Ok yeh North Korea commences purges, it has labour camps (kinda like USSR had gulags which were active even after Stalins constitution)

Idk what was that u guys was arguing about but i saw 2 words, USSR and healthcare and i must say free public healthcare was one of them enjoyable things in USSR just like the fact that you always had a job because the government gave you one, or you always had a home cuz the government gave you one (as long as u was working),

I was talking about North Korea, and yes, healthcare in the USSR was pretty ok.

Oh North Korea also has free healthcare but only in major cities where only elites are allowed in.

Indeed, and that is not Socialism, that is reactionary fascism.

As in, North Koreas system is.
