I agree with this comment, 100%.
"North Korea is a fantastic barometer for determining if someone is a real leftist or just a lib LARPing as one."
As I've researched the history of Japanese and American imperialism and 19th and 20th century Korean history without American propaganda bias...
Plus I've seen recent photos and videos of Pyongyang... DPRK has really boomed economically in recent years. And unlike economic booms in the capitalist west decades ago, the DPRK's actually benefits all the people there. Not an exploitative elite hoarding the wealth.
In the Korean War, which never officially ended, the DPRK are the good guys. And saying that probably has me on all kinds of watch lists. I don't care.
Capitalist colonialist Canada was happy for me to die, rotting in a gutter when I was a deeply poor, neurodivergent young woman, my upper middle class sociopathic biomom refusing to support me. In 2003, I tried suicide because I was so poor. And the Canadian state tortured me in response. Now I'm doing better *despite* capitalism. But while my livelihood is now threatened by the horrors of Gen AI, the MAID program is being used to kill desperate impoverished Ontarians. Whereas I was tortured in a psych ward for trying to kill myself as an escap from poverty twenty three years ago.
It took me many years to undo the western capitalist brainwashing. But I realized that there's no good reason to be "proud" to be Canadian, a state founded by genociding Indigenous people. An evil that continues today.
This man is right.
