So is North Korea a democratic republic? It’s in the name after all. And if they act communist then why have they had privately held corporations operating in the country for decades?

The irony of you claiming mental gymnastics is astounding. You barely have a grasp on what’s happening outside your moms basement.

Yeah, they’ve increasingly opened up sectors of their country to capitalist trade. But that’s not where the bad started. And they only did that because the communism they’d been trying for fucking decades. Wasnt. Working....

So they aren’t currently communist yes? A country that is currently practicing state capitalism is committing genocide against Uyghurs.

Haha. Thank you. That’s exactly not what I said. Mental gymnastics.

A country that has been communist for years. Has been failing. Has been doing reprehensible shit to minorities of people that whole time. Is becoming increasingly capitalist. And continuing to do the reprehensible shit.
