Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

In authoritarian North Korea, the general public is forbidden from accessing popular media that portrays their enemy in a positive light

Somebody has to smuggle in some higher-quality audio recording equipment, we need infinite bitrate Juche Jams.

Love that little Internationale quote during the turnaround right before the verse. If that's not already the socialist version of The Lick, it should be.

Pretty sure Mauzer used some of this footage for their neon socialism videos.

I love that they're banning it on National Security grounds.

They gave Hong Kong so much shit for banning "Glory to Hong Kong" for the same reason.

The difference is, no one's humming Friendly Father in South Korea while lighting people on fire, blockading hospitals, stabbing police or turning university campuses into bomb factories.

stabbing police or turning university campuses into bomb factories

why do u have to make the HK ultralibs sound cool

Police are an arm of state power. If you think ACAB includes cops in China, DPRK, or any other AES state then you probably haven't met them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

policing and prisons are ineffective at achieving their stated goals, and the human cost of their failures is immense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Your canned response ignores the point you're replying to. Police are fundamentally different in AES states because they serve fundamentally different governments which have different class interests.

ETA: No one here would be saying lib protestors looked based for stabbing Cuban or Vietnamese cops. Saying it's different for Chinese cops implies China isn't AES.

"different" sure, different enough that they don't need abolishing, no. or do you think "police abolition" was just a call for reform and rebranding?
