And they wonder why they get gulag’d, killed and called infantile
IT’S NOT 2019
I didn’t even say it was bad. I said it was good under the conditions. I just pointed out that it has drawbacks, especially in terms of the long term integrity of the DPRK’s civillians institutions. Are you suggesting that Songun is literally perfect and beyond criticism?
I didn’t parrot any propaganda. I just described the drawbacks inherent in the policy. It’s not propaganda to suggest that a military first policy draws resources away from other areas, or that it has the potential to lead to the military becoming growing beyond the control of the civilian leadership. It’s just common sense. Would you prefer that we not acknowledge the drawbacks of various policies and just pretend that everything is perfect? Also I’m not even an anarchist you double nigger.
You literally said it's shit.
No, I said it was a shitty thing to do as far as the DPRK’s civilian sector is concerned, which it is, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good policy. It’s a policy with benefits and drawbacks, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Yes, you keep doing this thing where you think you can call something shit and then say its good. It's retarded. You know what would be a shitty thing to do to the civilian sector? Neglect military spending, leave themselves vulnerable to invasion, and then get them all killed by the American military.
No it’s not. Songun is a policy that has shitty side effects, and under any other conditions would be absolutely terrible. But under these conditions it’s good. I don’t see why this is a hard concept to grasp.
Because we AREN'T under other conditions, so it's irrelevant.
I disagree with “absolutely” terrible but they aren’t under any different conditions, hence why Songun politics must be followed until it becomes unnecessary
It’s not irrelevant, because policies that empower institutions such as the military tend to pose long term threats to civilian institutions. I’m pointing out a very real challenge that will be facing the DPRK even after the threat of imperialism subsides. I’m also just pointing out that celebrating being forced to funnel all your resource to your military is dumb, since it’s like celebrating having to fumigate your house for roaches. Obviously fumigating for roaches is a smart and necessary thing to do, but nobody fucking wants to do it or treats it like a good thing.
Guys you're retarded here. All this comrade is trying to say is that Songun is good for Best Korea's current situation, but it would've been better if they didn't have to spend so much resources on military. It's not possible now, because of the imperialist threat, but it would've been better if there was not threat.
