So why are you guys pro stalinists…
I dont see the appeal.
North korea is going to be little less shitty now that it has a little bit of capitalism for instance.
So why are you guys pro stalinists…

Because Stalin was good.
Michael Bell
If introducing liberal reforms in North Korea improves life there it will be because the US eases up on sanctions as a result. Also just because Trump wants them to build a condo doesn't mean they actually will lmao.
Christian Diaz
North Korea has been undergoing economic reforms for awhile.
The anonymity of the chans encourages users to take the most extreme, maximalist positions possible. Hence why barracks communism is popular here. But my feeling is that in the 21st century, the emerging post-neoliberal economic global order will be more and more like China. And that's what a reunified Korea will look like. It will be less socialist than the DPRK is right now, and more socialist than the ROK.
Call it state capitalism or whatever you like.
Mason Baker
Yep state capitalism is the best
Elijah Martin
stalinism isn't a thing

Just because you used one of Marx's term in your post doesn't mean some of us don't see you for what you are.

Someone should fix this image. The Kwantung army wasn't even close to 75% of the IJA. It's been so long since I've studied WWII I don't have any of my sources anymore, and the numbers for Japanese strength in '45 are hard to come across anyway. But I'm quite confident there where a million more men in China and somewhere around that number in Japan with a few hundred-thousand more scatted in SEA and elsewhere.
Jaxson Richardson
It should indeed just say 80% of nazi troops in stead, which was more impressive and likely more true.
Kevin Jones
Because your idea of "less shitty" is capitalist wageslavery with garbage consumerism to distract from when the US-backed multinational corporations buttfuck your citizens into a state of complete misery.
Adam Myers
(fuck them some nice quads)
Basicaly ebil dictator = stalinism.
I'm pretty sure neither Kim or Papa Joe had complete control. Pic related.
I support stalinism in cases where keeping the fucking country together necessitates it. Otherwise, I'd rather the negative traits that are associated with "stalinism" not be present.
Robert Collins
There's no such thing as "stalinism" it's just ML

North korea is a carbon copy of the soviet union under stalin pretty much.
Mason Mitchell

How are they different?
Conservative
Cult of personality
Workers are forced to work through fear
Political purges
And so on…
Ayden Rivera
What makes you think the USSR was conservative? Is it because "muh hated gays"? The entire world in that time was more homophobic, and as far as I'm aware at least the USSR didn't experiment with gays, like someone else did
Stalin didn't actually want a personality cult and didn't start it, finnishbolshevik has a good video on this
Sources? This just seem like your typical "muh evil commies enslaved workers and forced them through hard labor" nonsense
While stalin possibly did kil some innocent people, the purpose of the purges were to purge counterrevolutionaries and conspirators against Stalin
Dominic Gray
everyone that took part in the bolshevik revolution regret it
COMMIES BTFO
Thats true
While USSR at the time was actualy pretty proggresive. Ofcourse Kims are faggots that decided closing the nation was a good idea.
Nicholas Butler
Never generalise large online communities, not everyone has the same opinion. This is especially true for the left.
I, for one, don't support Stalin.
But saying that North Korea will be less shitty because of 'a little bit of capitalism' is bullshit.
1) its a gross oversimplification of how economic systems work, a country isn't 'a little bit that' or 'a little bit this'.
2) capitalism does not make the lifes better of the majority of people.
3) this won't bring capitalism to N Korea.

This is now a pro-stalin thread
post all your best pro-stalin memes
starting off with this classic
Angel Cook
alright sure fuck it here's one
are you special
relative to now, yeah. relative to other nations then? not so much
also I don't know much about NK's internal social policies
yeah even though from reading him I doubt he exactly wanted it it happened anyways
on NK, I don't think they actually worship their leader
even with the weird statue shit
huh
yeah those went way too far
Parker Long
Even if you hate the man (I do), for what Stalin was able to achieve when appointed to a position of power (i.e increasing literacy rates, production, life expectancy etc, combatting the great depression) with the material conditions the USSR was in, there is certainly an appeal.
Adrian Powell
does Zig Forums ever tire of being complete fucking brainlets?

i swear this shit has been something Zig Forumstards believe ever since that one "why communism never works" video came out a few months back where he claimed something along these lines
