    We keep spending most our lives living

    in a socialist paradise

    Read theory once or twice

    in a socialist paradise

    Those train stations look almost too nice

    in a socialist paradise

      They look nice because no one’s allowed to use them. They build stuff, but the population is too poor or not privileged enough to be able to use anything. It just looks nice and it’s empty. Just like democracy.

    Between the DPRK and the US, the DPRK is far preferable. And between those two and the Zapatists, the last are so far ahead in preferableness, that no one can meet it.

    Long live communism; and especially that which is anarchist! Fascism and imperialism must fall.

        Oh, it certainly is a dictatorship, alright. But I’ll take free healthcare, free housing, and the like, over the capitalist hellhole that is the USA anytime.

        And if I choose, I would like that with freedom of speech too - freedom to be a communist, union organiser, or whatever. Freedom to criticise the government.

        Indeed, I think in this regard, it’s choosing between walking in Antarctica, and doing so in the scorching desert. Both kill you, just in different ways. While you can put up more clothes, you cannot strip yourself off with less than your skin, without dying at all.

        What I favour, is a society in where all are free from need, and free to criticise without hatred. Economic security is basic; and political freedom must come with it.

        That is why if I had to choose between all three (the US, China, and the Zapatists), I would elect the last; and if between the former two, China.

          Yes master, please let me lick your boot as you step on me and kill my family! /s

          You have no idea what the hell your talking about. You cannot freely criticize there, you will die. You have no economic security there, you will own nothing. You have no political freedom there, you will die if you don’t do as they say.

          A foolish, blind approach to the rise of fascism, more fascism is bad, you fell for it worse than a 4channer did for trump.

            I think as a citizen in NK, freedom of speech or political freedom would not be a high priority during countrywide food shortages. /s

              As a citizen of NK, I always kiss my main piece of Kim for the good of the party! /s

              Doesn’t matter what economic or government style they are, anyplace like that is a hellscape.
