Yep, though contradictions in the ROK are extremely sharp. The oil crisis is only going to make them sharper. I see a lot of revolutionary potential in the ROK, but they do have extensive fascist elements as well.

What do you mean by “propaganda-charged?” We all speak in manners that conform to our present views. The USFK occupies the ROK and meddles in their internal and external affairs in a manner that supercedes domestic law and rights, and the US Empire is actively terrorizing the world and plundering the global south of the value created by them.
The ROK has a more complicated geopolitical position. They are actively colonized by the US Empire, and have a government that carried over many of the former colonial elements under Japan. They voted the same way the DPRK did.
You’re downplaying the systemic proliferation of neo-nazi groups like Azov in Ukraine, and the west’s collective complicity in creating the conditions for that.
You can get organized! Join an org like PSL.
Why is that surprising? Ireland is sometimes better, I would suppose, but Sweden, Ukraine, UK, Canada, Japan, Iceland, and Hungary are all pretty damn right-wing and pro-imperialist.


Check their modlog, they were banned for being a bigot.


It has some anti-features that make it worse IMO, like the social credit score “feature,” not to mention the right-wing and anti-communist views of the lead dev.


Just agitate in communist and other anti-imperialist communities on reddit, not on reddit in general, for now. The liberals usually flock to Lemmy.world anyways, leftists tend to go to left instances like Hexbear.net or Lemmygrad.ml.


You’re also missing the vital context that it was the soviet union being right next door, with their massive expansions in social safety nets, that forced western countries into capitulating to worker demands. It also misses that these safety nets in western countries are funded by imperialism, creating a domestic working class with class interests aligned with imperialism, rather than against it.


Landlords and capitalists, as well as those that exist to maintain them.


Absolutely terrible idea, why would you want Tsarism to persist?! If anything, saving Lenin and Sverdlov would have probably helped the early soviets.


This kinda goes both ways though, I hadn’t heard of the WFP before, and they don’t seem to be particularly effective, like a mini-DSA.


Minor correction on the CPUSA, it started as a genuine communist party with ties to the CPSU, but was systematically infiltrated and destroyed internally until it became a shell of what it once was. The ACP is different, it espouses “MAGA communism,” whereas CPUSA is just toothless and ineffective.


Are you a genuine Gorby fan?
It has some features and some anti-features. Lemmy is better IMO as it doesn’t have a weird social credit score system like PieFed does.


The Party for Socialism and Liberation. They are doing a good job, but party building takes time and effort.
Can you elaborate? Do you think the global south near universally agreeing that Nazism is bad also means that they are highly affected by propaganda from those nations? Could it not be said that you’re highly affected by propaganda from western countries? Without backing your claims, that’s all they are, just claims.
