Korea / ì¡°ì„
A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.
See also: [email protected], which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.
The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.
Rules:
-
No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.
-
Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.
-
Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

I think ancaps would claim "oh they don't have taxes but you are forced to shop at state owned shops using the state currency which is another form of coercion"
In ancapistan, you'll have 100 different shitcoins. McPolice will ask for McCoin which you have to exchange for WalmartCoin (10% exchange fee)
What boggles my mind is that most people can only imagine the end of the world and not an alternative to capitalism. Have people not learned to tie their shoes in different ways? Or multiplication? Or organizing clubs? In a world where there's such a variety of possibilities, surely we can organize a society in different ways, some ways yielding better standards of living for all of humanity instead of a few. Removing the constraints of a capitalist, imperialist system greatly expands the options to restructure the economy, especially with the 100s of years of Marxist research and technological advances at our disposal.
Spooky scary socialism isn't so scary when you realize how it comes to humane conclusions that appear "common sense", but it's a bit depressing seeing many people get so defensive because they don't want to work for their fellow man without exploitation and are comfortable with the status quo, no matter how sickening it is.
