I've been speaking with other more informed communists and they've told me that none actually exist. Is this true?

China, Laos, and Vietnam: now notoriously capitalists. Workers work 12+ hours with no protection in horrible factory conditions. Suicide rates are so high that suicide nets are installed. The air is so polluted millions die from lung cancer, especially factory workers w/out basic masks. Corporations dominate

North Korea: Undemocratically ruled by the Kim dynasty. Jong un indulges lavishly at the expense of his citizens, ordering millions in fine wine and trips from Denis Rodman. They might be the most socialist though, as Juche seems to otherwise be democratic.

Cuba: Sanctions have taken a massive toll, but even taking that into account the country still has its own problems. They have massive food shortages and inventory probs and aren't self sufficient after 60+ years. Why couldn't they've use machinery imported from the Soviet Union to develop their agriculture and fishery? The Soviets supported them heavily. They seem to be incredibly mismanaged or corrupt

Do you believe Hitler ordered the Holocaust? Because you're starting to remind me of people who deny that.

Do you want to end the conversation by trolling? Is that your signal that you no longer wish to participate in it, as you are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that you can't deny the existence of North Korea's cultlike laws?

There's lots of paperwork that indicate that he did so I don't know what your point is

Please just provide an original source so I can engage with your issue. As of now it seems like you're the one trolling.

I don't see why I should go out of my way to post documentation a second time for an internet troll who thinks pictures of animal genitalia is an argument.

You're continuing to dodge the content of the 10 principles. If you don't like the translation, post your own. But tell me whether you support them or not.

Were these 10 principles ratified by any governing body in the DRPK? How were the codified? Is it literally just something from wikipedia?

Please tell me the garbage you posted is anything other than that.

Okay, I'm getting curious now because you are using Nazi talking points. You said you believe Hitler ordered the Holocaust because of the documents proving it... Can you show me your standard for evidence by producing these documents, so I can know how to better suit your requirements?

Hey, I think you're onto something there. Where is the fascism in that logic? I think you're really close to understanding an important point here.

Remember the good faith.

Still waiting you for you to post the paperwork in a capacity that someone with your ideology would not immediately dismiss

And I'm still waiting for you to comment on the majesty of the pig popping on its own balls. With out acknowledging its grace how can I know you're acting in good faith?
