it's not about ideology, you can be a racist and a nationalist and still believe in a socialist implementation of your favourite right wing ideology. it's about planned economy vs free market, not universalist hippies vs xenophobic thugs, socialism and nationalism\racism aren't in the same political axis
Racist Socialism? So Nationalist Socialism?

People really misunderstand Communism and Fascism. If it is inherently unequal, if there is a definite, obvious effort to incorporate forced Inequality into a government-run system, it's Fascism. If it's forced equality, it's Communist. If it's neither, it's neither. This has unsettling implications for many supposedly communist countries, I realize.

That said, North Korea is about one statement away from a divinely inspired Absolute Monarchy, if not already, so applying "Communist", "Socialist" and all the other may not apply

Kim Jong-Un's Girlfriend Executed after sex-tape.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. 11 people were executed. Holy shit that sex tape must've had the most professional camera work ever.

According to the article they were all also members of the orchestra she was a part of. The whole thing is utterly ridiculous, honestly.

Huh. Apparently, when I post a report with those statements in it, it starts a completely unrelated flame war. When someone else posts it, people pay attention to it. Odd how that works.

It could just be the sex tape aspect of it. Sex-tapes and Kim Jong Un in the same sentence is something that tends to dominate a discussion.

So Dennis Rodman has returned to North Korea, Why? He's Dennis Rodman, Basketball player and apparent makeshift diplomat. There is speculation he is looking to secure the release of Kenneth Bae, the Korean-American held by NK.

Ha, that's interesting. Sounds like something you'd see in a Slam Jam Remix's youtube comments, but hey, reality is weirder than fiction.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

North Korea is continuing its proud tradition of death camps.

Of particular note:
Quote
"They are deemed 'wrong-thinkers', 'wrong-doers', or those who have acquired 'wrong-knowledge' or have engaged in 'wrong-associations'."
Straight out of 1984.

By the way, did you know North Korea has a state-run comedy skit named It's So Funny? I'm guessing it is not actually very funny at all, but being that I can't understand Korean there's no telling. Care to give us a review, Sky?

Sky can't translate it either because she speaks Inferior Korean, which is totally different from Best Korean in that it doesn't have such a large vocabulary based around propaganda.

"Solid", in some areas of the U.S., is slang for favor, or something in one's interests.

The majority of your population using highly addictive narcotics is not something that just happens overnight.

Religion is the Opiate of the Masses... (literally, being super religious releases chemicals in the brain...)

And Dear Leader is like a God...
