You only think that because of all the ridiculous propaganda in our media.

All of North Korea's problems can be traced back to the barbaric trade sanctions imposed on them by the "free and progressive" western nations.

Of course a country that is banned from importing food is going to have trouble feeding it's population - that's why almost every country in the world was prone to famine before globalisation

Why? They share a border with China, every aspect of trade could be settled with China, and they are not far away from Vietnam. This is like the case with Cuba, except here only the US is imposing sanctions, this excuse is used no matter what.

>Of course a country that is banned from importing food is going to have trouble feeding it's population
They get food aid from the West. and they can import food from China, Vietnam, Cuba, Bolivia, Brazil and several African states. If Zimbabwe had not fucked up their farming, they could import from them.

> that's why almost every country in the world was prone to famine before globalisation
No it wasn't, famines were rare. The only difference is that in the developed world, they are now non-existant. The closest thing you have is drought, like in Venezuela now.

that's not how it works - China has the largest population in the world, and is hardly a first world country - they don't just have spare food that they can give out for free to feed an entire country.

Vietnam isn't a socialist country.

Also, you keep saying "North korea can buy from x country" when the reality is they can't, because no one will buy anything from North korea - meaning they have little to trade with.

Yes, but there have never been a mass exodus from a capitalist country to a communist one. No one is building rafts to get from Florida to Cuba, and no-one fleed from England to Russia to escape poverty. There is no italian minority in Russia. The Berlin Wall was meant to prevent people from fleeing from East-Germany to West-Germany.

>Fell for the propaganda again. They didn't. Look it up.
This is litteraly the opposite what everyone who visited Russia after the fall of the USSR says, there is a reason why none of the migrants want to go to Eastern Europe. Moldova and Belaruss score below most of the Middle-east.
But, hey I can either trust a deluded commie on the internett or anyone that has ever traveled and compared any of the former USSR countries with a Western or Souther European country. And we know it's because of communism because of rapidly Eastern Europe is catching up.

>Operation Paperclip.
The Soviets also captured German scientists, if that's your best claim to back this up, you're retarded. The US taking 20-30 German scientist after WW2, is not "stealing from Europe".

Capitalists love to make this point. "look, at all these capitalist countries that are better off than communist ones"

Yes, but also look at all the countless capitalist shitholes that are immeasurably worse than communist countries.

The primary cause of a countries standard of living is it's geography - this has always been the case and only under full communism will this be able to overcome.

It's the world second largest economy, they have 1 billion citizens and North Korea has 25 million people. Every now and then commies come on here and proclaim Chinas economic growth is proof of how superior communism is, despite being corrupted by capitalism to some extent it still produces this extreme aboundance. Now it's too dirt poor to do anything for it's allies or it's people. It can build ghost cities the size of New York, but it hasn't really quite learned how to grow rice and raise pigs.

>tfw Marxists won't debate me

>>75863665
You're allowed a transitory period, but considering the ~5000 years of feudalism you need to accept at least 3000 years of capitalism, see how this works?

If we are to believe the Marxist dialectic (which totally looks like something Plato did and was even parodied in BSG by Gaius Baltar) and considering that capitalism is quite a lot more beneficial and successful than feudalism, isn't it fair that we spend as much time in capitalism as we did in feudalism? Why try to skip something that's doing quite well? Most technology is a direct result of capitalism and various industrial revolutions (plural).

>dictatorship of the proletariat

Look, we're all leftists here. This infighting is literally why we aren't getting anywhere.

If tankies start a successful revolution I'll be a fellow traveler but I don't think you can call (except maybe the very beginning) the soviet union's system of government a dictatorship of the proletariat. It degenerated really fucking quickly.

>So we're not allowed any sort of transitory period before communism?
Never said this. We'll need a transition period but I'm not sure what it will look like. There needs to be widespread class consciousness before a successful revolution. The soviet union wasn't ready, china wasn't ready.

Convince me senpai. Is totalitarianism really the only way you see transition period happening? It's certainly possible but we can't fill up gulags with half the country.

What are these arguments.

You are comparing the cost of running a single labour camp with the cost of feeding an entire country of millions?

So North korea should just spend on nothing but food - and let criminals run about in the streets, have no police etc.

It's an incredibly isolated socialist state - what benefit could they possibly gain from intentionally starving their citizens - as that is what you seem to be claiming?

Then how the fuck did all those Marxist-Leninst one Party states in Africa fail? The entirety of Sub-Saharan Africa is extremely abundant in all ways, whether it comes to the farming potential or minerals, metals, oil etc,

>Also do you not think that maybe Socialism is a more appealing ideology to poor/downtrodden countries - and that's why many socialist countries are poor?

Why try to skip something that's doing quite well? Most technology is a direct result of capitalism and various industrial revolutions (plural).

Because Communism is more beneficial than Capitalism? As Marx said - communism is inevitable - automation will rip capitalism apart - the desires of the individual capitalist will be completely opposed to those of the capitalist system - but why not try to speed the process. Surely you want to see your ideal society come to some sort of fruition in your lifetime.

>Isn't that just mob rule? Sorry bro, but that doesn't sound very appealing even at its most ideal

No. it's just like any other dictatorship - except:

It's extremely democratic at a local level - even if it isn't at a national one

The leaders have the interests of the people in mind - and strive towards a communist society.

>So how do you feel about Venezuela which does have that geography? It's prime position to work well with America and completely shit on OPEC which is an oppressive, Islamic based theocratic authority and is an enemy against both the left and right.

venezeula doesn't have ideal geography by any stretch of the imagination. It has a tropical climate ffs - these countries have always struggled with food, disease, disaster etc.

Also proximity to the US will work against any socialist country.

North Korea literally only developed nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip to receive copious amounts of food relief from the UN.

it has less to do with their starvation being intentional, and more to do with the Jon Un family not giving a fuck about people starving to death, as is the mentality with all communist leaders.

Not sure what your point is here? Do you not see that it's in the interests of the individual capitalist to automate his business i.e spend less on workers - but in the interest of the capitalist system to resists automation - as it will lead to mass unemployment, an increase in class conscioussness etc.

>But whose ideal is that? I want a more intelligent human race, not a harder working one.

In a communist society, people would work less - as we would produce what we need, rather than producing speculatively to make profit for the capitalist class. It's not the 20th century any more.

>So all the important decisions are exempt from your "dictatorship of the proletariat".... Right.

What's an "important decision"? Many of the things that affect you most relate to your employer and how they treat you. The workers democracy in the Soviet Union was unparalleled.

>Oil dude. Oil and the perfect trade opportunities for the Caribbean and southern USA. what do you define as good geography or is it just a guns germs steal platitude?

And what happened? They invested everything in oil and when the price crashed, combined with drought, the economy collapsed. That isn't some sort of communist boogeyman effect - it is because of the market economy that their economy is so fucked.

That fearing automation is a fallacious, luddite argument completely ignorant of the (albeit non physical) jobs created by greater technology.

Furthermore, if this technology is freely available, which in libertopia of open source information and 20 year hard cut off of patents, what's to stop other capitalists using this technology to create more jobs?

>In a communist society, people would work less ... producing speculatively to make profit for the capitalist class.
If you're about people working less, then why would you be opposed to automation? Also, have you heard of supply and demand? It's far from "speculative" in your sense.

And avoid alluding to the current year as a source of an argument, it's quite infuriating.

>What's an "important decision"?
Taxation, trade deals, military decisions, high court judge assignment, the list goes on.

>And what happened? They invested everything in oil and when the price crashed, combined with drought, the economy collapsed. That isn't some sort of communist boogeyman effect - it is because of the market economy that their economy is so fucked.

Oh, and you need to read the dialectic again or more likely for the first time. Communism has never even come into being.

And definition of counter-revolutionary is more loose than Tchaikovsky's asshole, thus leaving revolutionary vanguard had ample authority to crush just about anyone.
It's no big surprise that this vanguard inevitably refused to relinquish power and property ownership to the common people or comply with demands of those nasty worker's councils.

>I'm saying that you can read Marx if you want to understand his ideas. Or you can choose not to. Whatever, you just seemed interested.
I am always interested, I'm one of those guys that gets a dopamine rush from learning. I've read some Marxism, I actually read either Das Kapital or the manifesto in high school. I was once a Marxist, which is why I find it ironic that a policy distantly descendent from it, affirmative action, has caused me so much pain. When you're scoring better than the woman of colour but she found a job so much faster... Or when 90% of your callbacks are from men when less than 40% of the HR industry are men... Look, most people don't believe me, they don't want to believe me, but I've been negatively affected by Marx, albeit in a very round about way.

Of course I have an opposition to him and his followers, without him I'd be judged by my merit alone rather than my olive skin, big nose and Germanic surname.

>You completely misunderstand me. I welcome it completely - not only will it precipitate the downfall of capitalism - it will produce a much more desirable communist society.
Only via syndicalism, which at its best is an extreme preference for small business. My main appeal of this system is how I believe it would lead to job vacancies rather than unemployment. This naturally prioritizes employees over employers.

This is still capitalism though, it's just competitive to the point that everyone gets a chance to succeed, not just classes a Marxist sociology professor says are.

>yes, things which we have no contorl over in our current society either.

Capitalist Venezuela would have (since it never existed), at the bare minimum, shifted some funds into maintaining the infrastructure surrounding the oil industry. That at least leads to consistent profits, basic capitalism.

Communist Venezuela (the one that exist) did not spend the money on the infrastructure. The money went to welfare programs to garner support, or into the pockets of Chavez's favorite nephews.

You know nothing of Venezuela, do not pretend you do. All the shit that is going on in venezuela can be directly linked to Chavez and his socialist agenda. The typical socialist crap of bread lines, food shortages, and no FUCKING TOILET PAPER.

My grandparents worked multiple jobs, as did my parents so that I can have a better life. I am going to college now working on a masters, my cousins have a college education and have nearly half a million saved up from their careers.
There is so much opportunity and this country, and I thank God every day that I was able to be born here.

Yes, we are separated by class.

>In their discussions philosophers like to evoke not only historical events but also the categories with which we interpret these events. Today, what is the category with which Stalin is interpreted? That of bloodthirsty madness. This category has already been used against Robespierre, against the Revolution of 1848, against the Paris Commune, but never against war, or against Louis XVI, or against the Girondins or Napoleon. Regarding the twentieth century, we have psychopathological studies of Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, but not, for example, of Churchill. However, all of the Bolshevik leaders spoke up against colonial expansionism, while Churchill wrote: "War is a game at which one should smile." Then there was the carnage of the First World War. The Bolshevik leadership group, including Stalin, was against this carnage, but Churchill said again: "War is the greatest game in world history, here I play with the highest stakes, war is the sole acute sensation of our lives." So why the psychopathological approach in the one case and not in the other?

So let me get this straight.

When a socialist country fails, it's because "muh communism is evil" and no more serious debate or discourse is required.

When a capitalist country fails, it's "well actually there are many complex reasons relating to the ethnic and religious history of the area" etc etc.

Also "oh by the way Africa's shit because of colonialism". Colonialism that's directly caused by capitalism?
