Fortunately, no. But leftists really need to band together internationally, not divide along Nationalist lines. Blaming people for their government is the kind of logic that is used to justify the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Then what the fuck are you doing posting shit criticizing democracy in the dprk, a country inherently more democratic than any fucking country you could possibly be posting from by virtue of not being capitalist

Democracy isn’t inherently tied to any economic system. A country could democratically elect to be fascist or socialist. I think being critical of North Korea for their lack of democratic process is a legitimate argument, but you would also have to argue that democracy is always good.
Your contention with his statement should be that democracy isn’t the highest pursuit of social virtue.

Capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive, instead of arguing with me you can argue with Albert Einstein about it:
Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?
Bourgeoisie using political parties to separate the electorate from the legislature: omg wholesome epic chungus democracy
Proletarians using the political parties to ensure no capitalist roader dipshits get elected: OMG EVIL AUTHORITY

I’m not the op, but I assume they are critical of the quality of the democratic process.

I don’t really know what you are utilizing for your definition of democracy?
Capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive, instead of arguing with me you can argue with Albert Einstein about it:
Again… I would argue that democracy does not equate to equity. I also didn’t claim that democracy is inherently virtuous.
I think my critique of your statement claiming that “North Korea was more democratic because they weren’t capitalist” could be boiled down to that North Korea isn’t more democratic, but democracy isn’t the end all be all of virtuosity that western culture likes to project.
What country is that
You speak English so, statistically speaking, whatever country you’re in

How is Kim’s boot taste?
Don’t want the next leftist revolution to take notes from North Korea.
cool story, face the wall
Oh god, you get reports from federated instances? Gotta be dealing with bullshit all day
Also, lol
Not particularly. Just whenever one of our folks reports someone outside of hexbear and vice-versa.
