uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
statist or anarchist, ML or trotskyite, there’s one thing all leftists can agree on

I’m an anarchist, I don’t have a particular articulable issue with the DPRK as a whole that I couldn’t articulate about any other group of people trying to weather the storm of global capitalist domination. Is their society how I’d draw it up in a vacuum? Of course not. Do I think they’re doing good work and want them to keep it up? Absolutely.
Obviously there are a lot of really idealist people in both the anarchist and Trot camps, but I’ve met plenty of idealists in any leftist strain of thought, which is especially frustrating when they invoke the word materialism to distract from how their positions are completely divorced from material reality. That’s just the nature of dealing with people, the ones who know the least are gonna be saying the most.
On topic, propaganda against the DPRK is really strong, to the point that people think of it as some kind of cartoon dystopia. I’ve noticed that westerners will literally just make up anything, (“If you don’t salute the flag of the DPRK whenever you see it, they’ll tie you to the back of an 1800s style carriage and throw rotten tomatoes at you while dragging you down the road!!!”) and they fully believe it. Even though they just made it up just now, even though they have literally never heard another human say it, they believe it. Because they believe that the DPRK is a nightmare realm where literally anything bad you can imagine is happening on a systemic level. You probably see a lot less anarchist and trot criticism of Cuba, because we haven’t been told from all angles for decades that Cuba is run by literal demons. All you can do is challenge and counter the propaganda and trust that, ultimately, truth will prevail.

Yeah it’s hard to separate the terminally online left factions from the rest especially when they’re so so loud.
One of my local orgs is run by trotskyists but they are very pro AES and other anti-imperialist states, including the DPRK. Just to add to kefla’s point.
Step 1: Get the nukes
Step 2: Take the broadcast
Step 3: ???
Step 4: (They get no) profit
Libs will ignore and make up a lie saying you get executed if you watch the world cup in Communist Authoritarian Totalitarian North Korea
Or they’ll say that it is illegal to say that NK didn’t win every match 99-0 or something and then you get executed. It’s always executed. You’d think they’d have no people left in the country if it was as easy to get executed there as liberals claim.
That and the three generation lie about the prison system, like how many people do you think live there
Then how do you explain this interview in Radio Free Asia with a mother that had her unborn children pre-executed by the pre-cogs crime unit. She wasn’t even pregnant yet! They put in fetus execution roller-coaster ride and you’re laughing!
I thought gommulism no tv, I thought they’d dig up your ancestors to imprison them if you acknowledged there were other countries in the world
What happened???
Brazil also broadcast the world cup for free… By a lib streamer…and the main sponsor is gambling… and is multiple gambling platforms…and they do ads for gambling every 2min…

The gambling problem took a while to get here to be honest, the previous world cup was not this shitstorm.
not saying it’s not true, but it think it’s a slop account
I saw other places reporting it
thats fair enough, i more meant that those weird slop accounts post intermix of real stuff, shittily translated stuff and entirely fabricated stuff, so trying to discern reality from them is rather labor intensive
Isn’t this the case for most public broadcasters? I can follow the current matches for free on the Dutch public broadcaster’s website
They probably had to pay or something
god they’re just so cool
That’s nothing, some US Americans don’t even have maps
coolest shit ever wow
