What is considered white. Hell, I’m Sicilian and some of my Hispanic friends are as light or lighter than me. Of course we know with chuds, they will find another group to demonize.
I’m reading a book on immigration by Chomsky’s daughter and the thought just came to me. I’d like for that to be the case, my girlfriend is a Latina and a lot of my friends are as well, I’d rather them eventually be absorbed into the whiteness blob so they aren’t in quite as much danger from bigots.
After that, I’d rather whiteness as a gatekeeping concept go the fuck away entirely.
You don't need to read 5000 pages to understand that having markets, money, commodity production, profits and exploitation doesnt mean you have a socialist society.
they are making an effort towards socialism, despite starting out feudal, suffering from a genocidal war, being sanctioned by nearly the entire world, and having a shit agricultural environment, which I find impressive, compared to someone on the internet whining about. Through the WPK, the proletariat are the ones in power, thus it is socialist
What does "effort towards socialism" even mean? In what concrete way are they doing this? There is no evidence that the proletariat are in power. The state is in power in NK. By this logic, the proletariat is in power in the USA because they are the ones who elected the current government. If capitalists can sieze the state using consent manufacturing and guided democracy even in countries like Sweden or New Zealand, why do you think a repressive state like NK allows actual proletariat power and not that the people elected in power(if they are elected at all) not simply reflect the interests of the bureaucracy?
This is why I beg people to read Marx. Please read Marx, and you will understand why NK or China or Cuba are not socialist and have no greater chances of becoming socialist than any other capitalist state.
The doc has several sources that go into great detail about it. This article is also a good read
you also need to take into account the conditions they are in, they can't just zap over to socialism
Marx later repudiated the manifesto after the experience of the Paris commune. But hey, that would require reading something other than the manifesto to know that. But let's look into the second paragraph.
What do you think he means by conditions of bourgeois production? It means commodity production, profit, exploitation etc. NONE of which are abolished in NK, nor is NK making any kind of concrete steps to abolish such things.
Is 60 years not enough to revolutionize the mode of production? After 60 fucking years, North Korea is planning to LIBERALIZE more?? What even is the point of the last 60 years of "socialism" in NK then?
after 60 years of war and sanctions, they really don't have another choice
What? the war ended in the 50s.
85% of all buildings were destroyed, several dams were hit, that isn’t something that one can easily bounce back from. Then all the sanctions started
Don't forget the wholesale slaughter of a fifth of the population with US bombs, bullets and bioweapons.
In your own mind, what is socialism and how does a country go about achieving it?
