I am a BRAZILIAN socialist, but DPRK is a totalitarian dictatorship that isn't truly socialist and have serius problem with starvation and stuff so they aren't really good at all.
The real socialism is the Democratic Socialism.
Source?
Source?
Democratic Socialism is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
SOURCE?
Democratic socialism is nearer to anarcho communism than those far right wingers.
Also you want me to prove I'm Brazilian!? How am I supposed to do that?
The argument in the source, as I understand it, is that democratic socialism doesn't firmly oppose fascism with force, so tacitly allows it to develop.
Naw, I just thought it was funny to write. You're welcome to ignore that.
You still haven't sourced your claims on the DPRK, though.
The most important claim I think he made was that north koreans are starving.
Why are they wasting so much money on their military if they can't feed their population? Who are they even fighting?
Why does Kim's family still get to live a lavish lifestyle?
All these things make it a shitty place to be, regardless of how it's governed.
Source?
They are still at war. The U$ occupies half the peninsula.
Who says he is?
Are you trying to argue that North Koreans aren't starving?
How does the US occupy half the peninsula?
Do you think the Kim family isn't living a lavish lifestyle?
The U$ military occupies South Korea to block reunification.
I'm not going to prove your arguments for you - that's your job.
Or are your arguments based more on a vague cloud of propaganda than on fact?
All you need to do is source your claims.
Ok. Ignore answering the questions that make you uncomfortable.
We all know you're just biased and desperate for an angle to work. That's why you're afraid to answer my simple questions. You know I'm correct.
Either you're a troll or woefully delusional about the world you live in.
Have a nice day.
you don't seem willing to scrub the western propaganda from your brain, but in case you are arguing in good faith and acutally are open to re-educating yourself:

Ok, sure. "Your sources are better than mine because they support your argument."

You still haven't sourced the claims you've made.
Calling me a troll won't change the fact that you're refusing to support your own arguments.
Why is that?
That's okay, bud. You're afraid to say North Koreans are starving because you know it's true.
You're afraid to say the Kim family is living a lavish lifestyle, lmao.
But you were so quick to say "the US occupies half of the peninsula."
I'm not playing your 'sources' game because all you're going to do is say anything that isn't "The Pyongyang Times" is biased. You're so transparent it's practically tangible.
The more you say, the more rational people have to write you off as biased and incredible.
Sorry bud, take your propaganda elsewhere. It doesn't work on rational thinkers.
Do you think North Koreans aren't starving?
Yes or no.
So you think it isn't happening?
Why are you so afraid to say yes or no?
Forget about what I claimed.
I'm asking you, personally, if you think North Koreans are starving.
It's a simple yes or no, but you're ashamed of the answer so you don't say it.
You never said it.
Glad you did. Not for me, but for everyone else.
Have a nice day.
Can you please quote where you said North Koreans aren't starving?
All you asked me were for sources.
I don't watch Fox news, so you're wrong about something you think you're "100%" on.
I wonder what else you're sure of but wrong about.
You still didn't quote where you said North Koreans aren't starving.
No, I don't watch Fox news. I don't watch any major news stations. I'm sorry this is too difficult for you to grasp.
P.S. Knowing that North Koreans are starving isn't a republican talking point. Most people in America understand that, regardless of political affiliation.
I'm not playing your sources game because you're just going to say anything that isn't "The Pyongyang Times" is invalid.
You still didn’t quote where you said North Koreans aren’t starving. Were you just lying about that? How come you keep ignoring this?
So, you accused me of not being able to read yet fail to quote the part you said I missed?
Also, what are you going to do about my 'right' to speak? You're not the decider of who gets to say what, lol.
That's only when dealing with rational people, which you clearly are not.
You still haven't quoted the part you said I missed, lol. Why are you so ashamed to say North Koreans aren't starving? You should be saying it loud and proud, but you know it's not true.
Right, you said that already.
How do you feel about people who ignore sources if it doesn't support their agenda? Does the 'burden of proof' work on them?
Or else what?
The Koreans I know don't want "unification" because North Korea is not a country they recognize as "the same" anymore. Maybe 50 yrs ago but that's over a generation ago.
Also they think NK is a shithole.
