you’re only allowed to call the PRC “totalitarian” or undemocratic if you condemn the “democracies” of the english speaking world. the US president isn’t even the person who gets the most votes🤡
Taiwan does not “generally” have a stance against reunification, some independence parties are a bit more popular than they used to be, but them becoming a legally independent state requires vast constitutional and international changes no government has even begun to implement
Say, what would the data show if we measured cumulatively instead of pretending history began in the 1990s?
46% of s. Koreans support unification versus 26% against, the United States constitutes the single greatest obstacle to this & Korean soverignty
military presence in the country is pretty different from occupation
45 fucking years the US propped up, armed, and aided the dictatorial rule of conservative and military governments in South Korea. South Korea’s army still comes under US control in wartime, but sure 2 decades of just mostly corrupt “democracy” means they can just opt-out of US military garrisons. nothing bad would happen to the government that demands that, no matter how popular it is with the Korean people
if you’re not willing to concede anything
the US won’t concede basic demands like moving their troops off the border! fucking ridiculous equating Korea’s refusal to expose itself to attack with US bases thousands of miles away from the US
chronic food shortage stricken, ostracized
i wonder why a country under economic sanction from the US & its allies for decades might have economic trouble. i wonder why they’re rude to the US after the US bombed and murdered their people for 3 years & still occupy the southern half of their country
they’ll sell us the rope and so on, 
people’s republic of california is coming 
they were nationalists, their national interests were incompatible, they fought.
i don’t get why this trips communists up so bad that different anticommunists subscribing to nationalist ideologies fundamentally couldn’t work together against communism, because their nations had competing claims, grudges, and interests
this is something i’m quite convinced you’ll never produce a consensus on except in the most particular of crowds.
“work in nonconsensual, sexwork cannot be consensual” is a fairly impenetrable logic, and people decide from that from sexwork must be illegal because nonconsensual sex is wrong.
or you can separate an economic imperative a bit from sexual consent and concede that reality doesn’t align perfectly with what we’d like. i’d never tell someone who believes their sexwork to be consensual that it actually wasn’t because of the abstract construction of the economy, myself. i also won’t advocate for hounding people selling sex with cops, even if they’re Good Socialist Cops. if things are ever so good that sexwork need not exist, i don’t think there’d be any reason to criminalize it, because nobody would partake. it was an exercise in obscene idealism for the Soviet Union to pretend prostitution couldn’t exist so long as deficiencies existed in the economy, and it will continue to be until a socialist economy makes the fulfillment of everyone’s needs a reality
the “Soviets were going to attack” defense for the nazis is just a nazi lie. but what i want to know is why would that fucking matter to anyone discussing this now? only a nazi defends the concept of nazi “self-defense” in the knowledge that all europe, soon the americas, and the soviet union all fought these guys while the nazis were committing the worst atrocities in history. if the soviets entered the war earlier it would’ve been a good thing.
but to be clear the lack of military preparedness on the border, besides disproving allegations of invasion-preparation, is one of the chief military blunders of the 20th century. there really is no excuse for so many soldiers and equipment (and it wasn’t that antique or terrible equipment, the germans were running a lot of older shit too) to be lost so quickly, through the failure to deny german intelligence and initiative.
There is no real attempt to win the mass of the population to the idea that this will be of mutual benefit through shared justice - because in reality, no justice can be delivered through the Voice
classic reform or revolution moment. not throwing in behind this has handed the libs a thing to point to “reconciliation has been rejected by democracy”, but if it had passed they’d have their little rubber-stamp council to endorse any kind of monstrous policies in future. what marvelous choices bourgeois democracy delivers
i thought it was well known small scale imsurgency continued years after the civil war officially ended in central asia? i mean obviously the new nationalists wanted to make them martyrs but i don’t buy it being surprising or particularly secret lol
white folks who have had their brains rewired to justify the genocidal histories of their peoples always think genocide is the default, against all fucking evidence
can’t blame Israel
i most certainly can. the instigator of violence always has the option to not continue and to make reparations. israelis are only targets for violence so long as they make life intolerable for palestinians.
just cropped the A off i guess. when’s the picture of them waving swastikas gonna drop?
executing a coup d’etat in 1976 and just sitting on my thumb for 4 years until i become leader 
no, it doesn’t. first-strike brinkmanship is made up, your country & the world at large are dead whether or not you destroyed 15% of the enemy’s second-strike capability with your billion dollar extra special missile
throwing radioactive debris all over my territory to own the yankees. did they learn nothing from soviet missile programs? fucking waste of money, you can already kill everything it doesn’t matter if you can make one do loop-de-loops
in westminster parliamentary procedure, when there is a disagreement the two partisan groups get together and competitively row in a race up the Thames, winner taking the victorious position on the matter.
the only thing Ireland should ‘launch’ at the UK is a missile
