They literally hold elections following a concensus process.

Well cited effortpost on hexbear about the dprk: https://hexbear.net/post/196389

Sorry you prefer to choose between bad and worse every election over reaching concensus in a constituent meeting and then voting to confirm the candidate in an election, but that doesn't make the dprk's system less democratic

That's a hell of a rant for an obvious joke comment

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

"Sigh" isnt a joke comment, it is a redditism

Is the joke that westerners don't understand how dprk nominations and elections work?

Lol how old are you? That was a thing before reddit even existed. Just goes to show the tankies on here are literally kids larping

Yes, but it is also a thing I only see reddit refugees doing.

Just goes to show the tankies on here are literally kids larping

I've literally been politically engaged as part of a socialist org for a decade, maybe it is you larping?

You know, with the tankie thing. You're doing an excellent McCarthy impression, but I dont think you're actually on the un-American activities committee.

Racist "believe anything the US says about a state enemy they've previously committed genocide on" bootlicker

Two words: Tienanmen square. If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you're a POS. And you do.

The holocaust

The Bengal famine

The potato famine

WW1

WW2

The Vietnam war

The slave trade

Immigrant concentration camps

Apartheid/Segregation

If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you're a POS

Imagine thinking the June 4th incident -where around 300 people died, slightly less than half of those people being unarmed PLA soldiers- can be used to condemn a system as large as China while every capitalist country has done much, much worse.

Hell, say the cultural revolution, say the post-civil-war famine, the way the cpc handled them can reasonably be criticized, and they are, by the current cpc.

Yeah you're right, we've got to destabilize a country of 1.4 billion people over 300 deaths more than thirty years ago

Thousands of extrajudicial killings by US police every year? What's that?
