    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.

      this most of us, myself included grew up believing the same things you do about China and the DPRK and every other socialist state. Because thats what we are all told living in the West under capitslist liberal regimes. We already know all this propganda you’re repeating to us. We learned to see past it and seek out actual information about these places to understand for ourselves.

      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

        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.

      That’s what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.
