I'm old enough to have seen the video of him having a convo with the commander of the lead tank, and then leaving the situation unharmed.
I feel like you're trying to argue when I'm trying very clearly to communicate,
"Your comments will be moderated if you keep using the word authoritarian"
Okay, but do you see what I am trying to communicate?
Use different language that isnt connected to a holocaust trivialization attempt.
Okay, well say those things instead then.
What are you trying to describe?
I would look to historians like Dovid Katz and search for "double genocide theory", I would not like to make this an argument.
Please change your language when posting in the comm. "Authoritarian" and "totalitarian" are not useful descriptors and are historically connected to trying to equate the USSR and nazi Germany in order to do holocaust trivialization.
Yo, define authoritarian in a way that doesn't include western bourgeois democracies or find a different word
The whole "authoritarian" nonsense has its roots in holocaust trivialization attempts in countries that collaborated with the nazis.
This is good for the dprk, the US still runs massive mock invasions to force them to spend massively on their military, this plus the nukes makes them a lot less precarious, especially with dedollarization too.
Exploiting cheap workers in inhumane conditions, resembling 19th century capitalism. Exactly what communism was supposed to end. China is getting robotized somewhat, since its society ages dramatically, but they want to keep polluting the world with cheap throwaways.
Taking everything you said as true, that isn't imperialist though. Imperialism is a specific thing, have you read any academic writings on imperialism?
DPRK constantly threaten South Korea and Japan. Apart the famous missile launches, it performs abductions, drug smuggling, marine poaching, and spying. And we have cyber attacks as well. The country is too shitty to invade another country full scale, but it does what it can do to be a bully, officially uses imperialist rhetorics and throw threats.
Taking everything you say is true, that also isn't imperialism
The elections were carried out in such a way, that an average worker had no chance to vote for a social demoratic party, anarchist party, or liberal democratic party. They even killed their communist opposition, Mensheviks. There is no democracy with a single party system, don’t be ridiculous.
Okay, see my original point about not being informed.
Setting aside manufactured famine in Ukraine and genocides like Katyn, very cautious estimates says that around 30 millions of people were victims of gulag, with lethal 2,7 million victims. This is probably massive underestimation, since many of gulag documents were destroyed in 2014. But hey, the mortality rate was smaller than in Nazi death camps, great job USSR! /s
Your estimate should be 1.7 million, Nazis aren't people remember?
I think that's a pretty common experience in strongly anticommunist societies
Please share an explicitly diamat anarchist text from the pre-kruschev era
Do you have any evidence that the man was "disappeared" or are you just projecting how your own country would have handled the situation onto China?
