“Actually Existing Socialism…” and when you encounter somebody in the wild using this term unironically, you can just go ahead and assume you’re dealing with an actual, honest-to-goodness tankie (the true kind)
It’s a term they throw around in order to try and convince people that regimes like the DPRK are actually socialist… as if “Monarchism With Kalashnikovs” (which is a more accurate description of the DPRK) somehow qualifies.
AES?
