Who is the most inspiring figure?

The difference is that the rest are actual revolutionaries while Papa Kim inherited his position from Grandpa Kim.

North Korea is a unique situation where stability is hard to come by. In response to internal strife in the party where Krushchevites tried to take power and Dengists did such a thing later, a system of passing down leadership to those trained from birth for it has developed. This doesn't turn into nepotist state capitalist corruption due to checks and balances preventing such a thing (i.e the party millitary/democracy ensuring those who are gennerally thought of as incompetent get the boot)

Can I offer you an eggman in this trying time?

Kim Jong Il oversaw the ideological elaboration of Juche and Songun, clarifying the views of his great father and lead the DPRK through its darkest hour since the Korean War, successfully applying Songun to its pinnacle with the construction of nuclear weapons. KJI is a great statesman and theorist. There is literally nothing wrong with inheriting your position, KJI even opposed it. Hereditary rule has been instrumental in the stability of the DoTP and its resistance to revisionism. The leader is important to Juche theory

seems like he knew it was wrong

It's obviously not ideal and should never be installed as a de jure institution (i.e. a de jure Kim family monarchy) – that would be contrary to socialism. The system going on right now is necessary and the Kims are held in great esteem by the people. It should continue as long as necessary

He didn't think it was wrong in NK, silly.

Lmao

Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Khruschev and Brezhnev and most leaders of socialist countries (excluding a few, like Siad Barre) i find inspiration in, even people like Hoxha who i disagree with ideologically, because he still made great feats for Albania.

don't even think he's that good for the memes, he just makes us look retarded because "haha fat commie kid trying a diet i see ;🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 xddd". pretty sure he even made a video saying "communism doesn't work huh well what about norway? or switzerland, or belgium?

fucking wordfilter ruined my winkyface god dammit

well first of all the kid was just a joke, second of all he's just a kid.

Obviously its impossible to tell what's really going on in the DPRK given the utter opaqueness of their society, but imo taking official government positions/statements as facts is just as silly as believing everything you hear in Western media. It's naive to assume that there isn't nepotism in the DPRK just because the government says there isn't.

kids shouldn't get involved in politics change my mind.
i actually discovered this weird subculture on youtube of 12 year old communists, ancaps, and nazis all making really shitty videos and challenging each other to debates. fucking weird.

Links pls, this sounds hilarious.

look up fascist kid on youtube (i think he goes by a different name now but it'll still show up).
he alone went from a "marxist-leninist" to a "stalinist with ba'ahist tendencies" to a national syndicalist or some shit. if you look through his videos, it's a bunch of google hangout debates and him debunking some 14 year old's videos that have barely any views. also makes really shitty explanation videos about ideologies with comment sections full of literal 13 year old nazis.
i think he even challenged sceneable to a debate before, too.

oh yeah and they're all literal LARPers. fascist kid's youtube bio is him listing off all the special snowflake ethnicities he has when he's obviously just a bland american suburbanite.

I'm not some "JUCHE IS communisM!!!!" Type come on
There is literally no logical reason for the Kim's to be allowed such prominent positions within the goverment generation to generation asides from the cult of personality and them being seen as popular figureheads of the state

It goes against the tenants of Marxism-Leninism and Democratic Centrism

It's a literal non-issue. People don't literally worship the Kim family as gods and the de facto hereditary leadership has indisputably been a net benefit for the stability of continued socialist path of the DPRK. As long as capable leaders are elected and the people genuinely want people from the Kim people guiding the development of the Korean revolution, it's not magically bad just because they come from the same family.
Nice assertion. The DPRK adheres to the Juche idea of Kim Il Sung, the revolutionary idea of the modern age. It is beyond are mere development and inheritance of ML thought. The importance of the leader to Juche cannot be underestimated. It is in the best interest of the citizens of the DPRK that the leader works his hardest to cultivate the next supreme leader, whether it is a member of the Kim family or not. Again – I would be much more critical of de jure hereditary leadership, but this is not the case in the DPRK.

Lenin and Marx are literally thrashing in their graves right now user.

This guy is probably my biggest inspiration of them all

Different conditions require different solutions. Even with the Kim family at the top for the last three generations the DPRK is a democratic state providing its citizens many benefits and the recognizes them, with the army at the core, as the driving force of the revolution. The people are the masters, the leaders, per Juche theory and common sense, serve as an ideological guide, the person who integrates party, masses and state.

Refer to

Obviously two or more individuals from the same family ascending to the same role of leadership in a society doesn't automatically make it a Monarchy / Hereditary leadership
This changes when the hereditary nature of the position is either coded (Either formally or informally) into the state or the states governing ideology (In this case Juche)
I don't wish to continue making Monarchy parallels but this is / was a literal arguement used by monarchists
I know the DPRK has abandoned Marxism and has revised their own offshoot ideology
It Dosent change much about how the NK state is governed which is still pretty much Democratic Centralism and an economy highly inspired by those of other Marxist countries

Even Jason Unruhe is skeptical of Songun theory.

Jason Unruhe is not a Marxist. His “third-worldist” Lin Biao derived theory is revisionist to the core. He should not be taken seriously

No one is arguing in favor of monarchism. Monarchism isn’t simply having several leader from the same family in a row, it is much more than that. Again, the DPRK is a democratic and socialist state

Nobody can possibly know that for sure one way or the other.

ML is an axiomatic truth in juche [literally just philosophical "subject" from Marx's writing in korean] retard

Why? Is the country on the Moon or something? There’s plenty of data about how the government works, what parties exist, what their constitution sets up and allows, data about their economy, what officials are in major positions, etc. Are you about to lead us into the age old bourgeois meme that

Pretty much this. The only real major theoretical innovations in Korean socialism are Songun and the role of the leader in the revolutionary process.

Btw, apparently, the KPRF got butthurt'd with minecraft Lenin but I thought it is cute.

Jucheists are such goofy dogmatists. I dont even dislike the DPRK at all they mostly have a good thing going and it's easy to be overcritical of what actually exists, but fuck, the idea that personality cults and hereditary rule is a necessary thing for socialism (instead of contingencies to be struggled with strategically without undermining the genuinely good movements they have sprung from/attached themselved to) is very disconcerting and feels like a massive regression. Sankara was right to uproot personality cults from the beginning.

I’m not saying it’s fake, I’m saying I don’t know. Relying entirely on the way their government is structured is extremely flawed, because it doesn’t take into account how other factors can render these structures, democratic institutions, checks and balances, etc moot. On paper the US is a democracy too, and you wouldn’t know about super PACs and lobbying just by reading the US constitution or examining how their government is organized. Similarly, there may be forces at work (bureaucracy, corruption, nepotism, etc) in the DPRK that damage the integrity of its institutions, or there may not. We can’t say because there is no free access by independent media, all we have are official statements of the government and the stupid speculation of foreign media. Neither of these sources are objective or should be taken at face value.

Being dogmatic would be contrary to the spirit of the Juche idea. As Kim Jong Il eloquently put it:

Jason is a cool guy. He may not be the greatest theoretician, but I respect him and his work.

Think of all the derision he would receive from bourgeois black women if he were alive now.

I admire your fortitude

I think Joseph Dietzgen is pretty inspiring. In comparison to most marxist theoreticians, he was just a simple worker and had no academic background. Through his autodidactic approach he still managed to become a great thinker.

I'm just reading through Black Against Empire. A bit liberal as books on Marxist groups go (so far it has only skirted around the class aspects) but holy shit, Huey P. Newton is nothing if not inspiring.

Che's always been an isnpiration not only because of his deeds and politics, but because he kinda looks like me, especially in this picture. Not the most noble of reasons, but haters gonna hate.

Read Revolutionary Suicide by Newton. 10/10

How is it democratic? How is it socialist?

With the age of the Internet many of these facts are readily available to research if you merely have the will user. There is no private property, the means of production are completely socialised outside of small private plots and the anarchy in production has been abolished by economic planning. There are no capitalists, no capitalism. Taxation has been abolished. The national legislature and highest organ of state-power is the Supreme People’s Assembly with 687 deputies from the three political parties of the Democratic Front are elected by the people from the constituencies. There is universal suffrage and the DPRK is well-known for its system of people’s assemblies and committees, see pic related from a bourgeois work from the 1970s.

Three minutes in, Newton asks a question and that's probably the only time I've seen Buckley been caught off-guard. Weird how the question now seems almost a platitude with all the "in the 30s you would have been a Nazi" type of comments flooding the discourse, but here you see how Huey strikes right at the heart of Black Panthers predicament and you can see it on Buckley's face.

Huey Newton is the GOAT

Yes. It's super weird. these idiot kids have facilitated the turning of so much thought into cheap, disposable commodities. We have a whole generation that switch and match ideology purely from what they've read on the internet, each time joining online communities with others who are sharing the same ideology. It's crazy and coming from the generation before this of handing out fliers on the street and going to meetings it feels profoundly superficial and more than a little crushing..
Well….Off to go and re-read the situationists then i guess…

It makes sense. People who actually have an identity to speak of all realize that it's worthless. Only those who feel insecure about their lack of identity will try to forcefully assert it.

Marx's official Tumblr bio.
I mean, this sounds pretty bad nowadays, but you could read it in a very feminist way. There's a strength in assuming weakness. Men have a tendency to fuck up because they just can't do it. I feel like Marx knew this.
This fucking nerd. lmao
Really reminds us of his commitment to enlightenment humanism. We tend to lose track of that nowadays.
