It’s notable that their only source are some defectors who escaped. Sounds kind of like a Yeonmi Park situation. Whether or not that is true, it should be noted that forced labor in prisons in the US is rampant:

How could anyone living outside the DPRK ever know whether they have good intelligence or not?

Indeed. Again, where are you getting this information about “forced labor camps”?

Because SK is a puppet state whose military and intelligence are controlled by the US, the most rabidly anti-communist force on the planet.

Please cite your sources. I am curious if they are the same “North Korean defectors” funded by the CIA to contribute to all of the outlandish anti-communist propaganda NED and AGM mouthpieces spout.

Love how you just totally pulled this out of your ass.

Imperialism is capitalism. Imperialism is the financial exploitation (i.e. resource theft, wealth extraction) of the entire world by a handful of monopolies, not “big country does war and trade deals”. Social Democrats are welfare capitalists. Since capitalism is destroying all of us, welfare capitalists certainly aren’t going to get us out of this mess. They only make capitalism more tolerable for the already oppressed working class so that capitalists, monopolies, and big banks can continue to rake in the dough by exploiting the already impoverished poor.

Why is this getting downvotes? It is the truth!

We’re gonna see that in the US before we see it in Russia. At least Russians have free education and free healthcare mandated by their constitution.

Israelis are the inventors of the “double tap” tactic to take out rescue workers, medical workers, and even more civilians, the people who are helping. It’s absolutely sick. Oh and Obama utilized and popularized this tactic during his regime during which he dropped over 26,000 bombs on seven different countries (but don’t let the “vote blue no matter who” crowd know or they’ll attack me).

Fighting the liberals instead of the fascists? That’s like saying you’re choosing to eat an apple instead of a piece of fruit. Apples are fruit, too. Liberals are fascists, too.

“If you believe The Official Story about everything that happens, then you’re not thinking, you’re repeating. If the only thing you question is the questioners, then you’re not an individual with your own mind, you are an enforcer of the status quo.” Caitlin Johnstone

Some ones I’ve seen recently: Scary Movie. The Witches. Dressed to Kill. Cape Fear.

I mean Zelensky is a big fan and supporter of Israel. And also a fascist dictator who has shut down news outlets, banned political parties, and cancelled elections in Ukraine. So this tracks. Although not sure what these means for all the out and proud Bandera-worshipping Nazis in the Ukrainian government and armed forces. They’re probably immune because they’re basically Zelensky’s secret police who, among other things, slaughter ethnic Russians in the Donbas, abduct men off the streets for forced conscription, and murder Ukrainian leftists and socialists who engage in activism against the Zelensky regime.

Again <30% want independence from China

The “government” of Taiwan is the equivalent of if MAGA invaded Hawaii and claimed that the rest of the continental US was now called Hawaii and ruled by them. The Taiwanese govt is a historically far-right US puppet govt that is one of the biggest supporters of Israel and its genocide. And according to polling in Taiwan, less than 30% of Taiwanese people want independence from China.

We could debate this for hours or longer (as people in that Guardian article’s comments section were) and never convince each other. The fact that it is so disputed and the details are not fully known, and the fact that Obama literally said the use of chemical weapons by Syria would cross a red line a year before the attack, and knowing the history of the US empire and its relentless greed and hunger for power and control, I am inclined to believe it was a false flag, just as you are inclined to believe the CIA propaganda/Western mainstream media line that every leader of a sovereign state that stands strong against US hegemony is a baby murdering dictator (even though all of the presidents of USrael are themselves baby murdering dictators). But I’m just a fringe tankie moron so don’t listen to me.
