Yeah I don't care about the USSR shit tho I wish he was a little more well read. The DPRK bit is completely fucked tho, I hope he has rescinded that belief.
Episode 20 is a great rundown on 20th century Korean history. The interviewee, Tim Shorrock, is the best American journalist you'll find covering the region.
The US is constantly antagonizing the DPRK so I do think it would be fucked up to take their response to the antagonism and use that to justify regime change. Episode 2 of Citations Needed has a wonderful discussion on how the DPRK isn't some movie villain country full of people who want to nuke the world for no reason.
I guess to better answer your question: if you are a socialist of some stripe you should do some fucking research instead of just accepting whatever news you hear about a foreign country as gospel. You already have to do research to become a socialist, apply that to literally everything and you'll be much less lib
I see where you are coming from and propaganda is used because it works so I don't blame the average lib for being brainwashed but I think we can both agree a self claimed socialist should do some independent research. Here's a good thread to combat some lib thoughts tho: https://rhizzone.net/forum/topic/13373/
Oops, I'm illiterate I don't know how I missed that military part. I retract my DPRK comment.
Still seen tons of Anarchists say the same for the USSR, also seen socdems too though so agree with ya there
