Democratic socialism. That's a much less acceptable solution for the US elite who've grown fat and greedy on parasitic institutions like the insurance business or the prison system though

Isn't that what France is? The place where everyone under 30 is unemployed.

I went to high school with an actual Hoxhaist, who also had extreme sperg disease. He would try to get speaking time at every possible event, and when he succeeded he would invariably segue into endless tirades about the genius of Stalin's five year plans or whatever.

He was also obsessively fascinated with cows. Had three stickers with pictures of cows on his laptop. He was a weird guy.

tankies dont ACTUALLY want to go to these places, they are just roleplaying tankies. like i look at tankie poo poo a lot and sometimes i find myself agreeing with them when they talk about exploitation or that North korea isnt a threat to us(because they aren't, we are the god drat united states)

then they start saying stuff like stalin did nothing wrong

or that US propaganda says North Korea sucks but uhh do we actually KNOW anything about north korea>>>

honestly most tankies i know of are poor and probably just think because things are so hosed for them that well its time for FULL COMMUNISM NOW

I'm posting in two different NK threads but have this video:

Things look better nowadays, and I'd say Pyongyang looks nicer than Havana if lime-green concrete block buildings are your thing.

Creepier than Havana though.

Holy gently caress these NK tour companies have hours of sightseeing footage set to this eerie pachinko music on YouTube

And it's mostly the company filming the tourists wandering around and looking at things. That's not creepy at all. Better hope these visitors practiced their self-criticism sessions at the end of the previous tour-day and are on their best behavior!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70sx3zs6Res

This keeps getting better and better. The most enthusiastic music as the camera zooms into the faces of these utterly gobsmacked hipsters. Go to 14:40

Usually presidents/speech givers/etc at least try to pretend like they're speaking and not just straight up reading off a piece of paper.

Not this guy.

I had a job once where they brought in an outsourced HR, and interviewed everyone. I was interviewed by a nice young lady, and after it was done, I asked her "I was wondering about your accent - you sound as though you're from Eastern Europe, but I'm not sure beyond that." She explained she was from Albania, and I realized that she was about my age, so she had grown up during Hoxha's time in power. I had seen a report about Albania on Sixty Minutes many years before, and I said "Wow, that means that you grew up in one of the most repressive countries behind the Iron Curtain. Wasn't the dictator named Enver Hoxha?" Her mouth dropped open "You even said his name right!" She was happy to talk about growing up in Albania, and what it was like (not as bad as you might think, enough food, but not great food, clothes, but not very nice, some things you just didn't talk about), and how happy she was to leave and come to the west.

And now she works in HR. What a sad story :(
