    Why should anyone care what an unironic North Korea supporter thinks about American politics?

        I don’t know anything about the black panther support of North Korea, but I also don’t really see how that’s relevant. Today, they are a repressive dictatorship. Just because they call themselves “democratic” does not mean they actually are, and just because they claim to be communist does not mean leftists should support them.

          I mention the Black Panthers because they are one of the more beloved and successful leftist groups in US history, and absolutely deserve to be taken seriously. You’re right, claiming to be democratic and communist doesn’t make a group democratic nor communist, what matters is their structure. Democratically, they have approval-based voting, and 3 political parties. There are also factory councils for direct worker management. Public ownership is the principle aspect of their economy.

          More than anything, their self-determination in the face of a brutal empire sanctioning them into starvation should be supported, even if you don’t agree with their structure.

        Half the people on the bottom half of the image are also marxists. So I honestly have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about.

      I think he likes seeing the funny red number on his profile go up. They think red is the people’s color or something.
