Would be cool if the Western left was more familiar with these histories instead of painting with a broad brush. Moralizing is easy when you use orientalism and do away with the nuances of the revolutionary projects you dislike.

Not sure if you are trying to imply that I’m a westerner, or that I am against genuinely anti-colonial projects organised/headed by anarchists. I hope that you do not conflate my criticism of anarchists often (but not always) taking the side of the imperial core’s invasions, genocides, and other assorted colonial horrors with claiming that anarchists can never oppose colonialism.

Regarding NATO, neither Hungary nor Turkey would ever permit this to happen and everyone knows it.

They both agreed to let Finland and Sweden to become formal members of this genocidal gang, so this claim does not have a good basis in reality.

Admission into NATO requires 100% support for all existing nations. Russia knows this would never happen.

What is this claim based on? How do you know that NATO’s owners wouldn’t just threaten the dissenters the way they actually did with Hungary?

Considering that anarchists very frequently take pro-colonialist positions (for example, with regards to Korea, Libya, Iraq, Vietnam, even Palestine) and have plenty of other awful takes, the meme appears to be quite wrong.

When did the PRC engage in Lebensraum projects in Nepal and Bhutan?

This seems to be just the usual regurgitation of ‘Iraq has WMDs’ propaganda.

That doesn’t mean I think it’s good.

It’s a state formed as a result of an anti-colonial movement fighting for liberation against your empire. Your empire killed millions of its people, destroyed what they had, and currently maintains a genocidal blockade against it.
Despite all that, it manages to hang on, and, considering the harrassment and assault from your empire, it also manages to provide its people with much better living standards than what one would expect from many states that you do not complain about (and which are not targets of the same sort of blockades). Also, you just plain haven’t even brought up any wrongdoings that the DPRK has supposedly done.

Overall, I would say that that does make the DPRK fairly good as far as states go.

And obviously false memes like the OP don’t convince me that there is any sincerity in its defenders.

Either you are unfamiliar with the resolution in question and are assuming that the OP lied (without you double-checking), or you know that the OP didn’t lie and are trying to engage in spreading your genocidal empire’s false propaganda.

What is it with people desperately trying to demonise the DPRK as if you you weren’t fed obvious lies since you were born?

Getting distracted by green disks.

The populace of Taiwan need to consent to being governed by the PRC, and currently support for one China in Taiwan is very low, based on what I’ve read.

The state that currently rules Taiwan engaged in white terror and killed dissidents. The population of Taiwan obviously did not consent to that, but you accept their rule just fine. So, you are inconsistent.

Furthermore, that state is a collaborator for the most evil polity in the world - NATO. That means that the considerations of their population’s wants are secondary to stopping the horrors that NATO has been inflicting upon the world.

Stalin’s government tremendously improved the living standards of people in its territory, and compares favourably to almost all (if not all) European leaderships of 20th and 21st centuries (including European settler-colonies, but those are even more obviously awful). I’d say that he wasn’t ‘shitty’.

Preventing Hungary from participating in colonialism, including by invading Iraq and Afghanistan, is not some sort of oppression that you try to imply it to be.

I don’t have my sources at hand right now, and do not have the time to dig them up right now, but one thing that you can try to investigate is how the USSR in particular and planned economies in general provide/provided guaranteed housing and universal healthcare (i.e. unlike capitalist societies, they did not force people to live and die on the streets and did not deny people the healthcare that they needed).

‘Invading Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libra, Vietnam, Syria, etc., engaging in genocide, coups, kidnapping, torture, operations Gladio and the like is totally not fascist!’

• You

for millions of Americans, voting IS deliberately made extremely difficult if not downright impossible so that the fascists are competitive in elections in spite of only ever appealing to an ever-shrinking minority of potential voters.

Fascist candidates were also doing just fine before. The supposedly better ability to vote didn’t change anything.

you are just spreading your propaganda

People who think that some of the richest and most-protected organisations in the world are being oppressed are silly.

Wait, doesn’t the airpod completely mistranslate and misreprestent the thing that it heard in this format usually?

No, what it does here is noise cancellation.

Anarchist systems do not require hierarchy.

How do you intend on defending against a NATO invasion without a hierarchically-organised military?
Similarly, how do you intend on resisting NATO espionage and sabotage?

Going to come back to this and point out that you are yet to admit to being wrong about NATO supposedly not invading anybody.

But I didn’t.

You said that I lied when I said that the US was a part of NATO. That means that you said that the US was not a part of NATO.

I said: NATO is not the US.

Which is completely irrelevant and was never contradicted.

So, you oppose military action against nazi Germany.

You said that I said US was not part of NATO. That is a lie.

Here is the second comment where I said that the US is a part of NATO:

The US is, however, a part of NATO, and its de facto owner.

Here is you response to it:

I mean… What is 1 additional lie from you, right?

So, yes, you did say that the US was somehow not a part of NATO.
