I’m confused.

How?

It’s multi-layered and tedious to write down on the phone. Prolly easier to ask you some questions: How do you think this meme’s formula works? Do you beleive it to be factual that China isn’t authoritarian and that North Korea is not andictatorship? If not, do you know anybody who has ever claimed this?

“Authoritarian” is ALL states. “Authoritarian” as we know it today was just made up by the CIA to slander actually existing socialism states like China and the DPRK The DPRK has gotten a particularly HEAVY dose of slander from the empire because of its proximity to its puppet gov of SK

Well… in that case, the meme is at least correctly used. That was my main concern anyways :') You must realise you’re holding a very fringe position that’s more a conspiracy theory and will be considered trolling, right?

China and the DPRK being socialist states with functioning democratic structures is the standard take among communists, which is certainly fringe in the west but not everywhere. Especially Lemmy, which was and is developed by communists.

which was and is developed by communists Is that so? I didn’t find any information on that from a quick search. Not an “attack”, genuinely curious.

Here is dessalines’ github page for essays, and their profile pic is of Che Guevara. Dessalines is the lead dev, and other devs are communists as well.
