You have a lifetime of anti communist propaganda to overcome. You're close, take the last step and realize you've been lied to about AES countries. No place is a utopia, but those countries are lights in the dark.
Internationalism is the most important aspect of socialism. If you choose to believe nationalist western propganda over people you should be in solidarity with, you will only help your oppressors
Well said camarada.
What is an AES country?
“Actually Existing Socialism”
Keep drinking the flavor aide.
If they're so nice, why not live there?
That's a fair question. There's a reason why authoritarian nations don't have immigration issues, unlike virtually all of the west.
People aren't stupid; they can pretty easily see through nationalist bullshit and figure out which, if they have to leave their own country, are going to be the best countries to land in.
Guess what? Nobody wants to immigrate to Russia or China or Cuba or Venezuela. Full stop.
You guys are such trolls it's like hearing a fish praise the fishing pole.
I am nobody 💔
Statistically yes, one person doesn't count, so in that sense you are in fact nobody.
Believe it or not, i'm not the only expat. So statistically there's more than one nobody.
That's what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.
The US prevented a democratic unified korea and killed 20 percent of all Koreans. MacArthur had to have his nuclear command secreted away to prevent him nuking Korea.
Read about it or if youre not into reading listen to the blowback season.
The US bombed and firebombed until there were "no more targets in Korea." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_North_Korea Examine the primary sources if you like, they're decent. It was comparable to genocide.
And now we point and laugh at the DPRK for being less developed than the US-backed South?
Sanctions are hilarious! Bet the leveling of the country during the Korean war was a real laight too.
