    They are not really commies. But I’d guess you know that.

    Edit: In case it’s not clear, I strenuously object to the use of “commie” as a pejorative, particularly when it makes no sense whatsoever.

        Totalitarian. The specific flavor is Juche. It started as an ostensible offshoot of Marxist-Leninist ideology, and then became whatever the ruling family wanted it to become as time went on. By now, its essentially just a cult of personality/deification ideology around Kim jong un.

        North Korea is absolutely not socialist or communist in any meaningful sense.

        Auth left, where the state plays the part as the capitalist and it’s citizens are human resources to be managed.

        Hasn’t Auth left and Auth right had enough time leading the world? (All of human history)

          They mask at leftist, but if you connect the dots they exclusively pipe up for trump and authoritarian countries like Russia, Iran or China

            If everything is shared under communism, that would include political power. That makes communism (IMO) a direct democracy. Does that sounds like those countries to you?

          They claim to be communist in some cases. Socialist is also a sort of blanket term which “means something” which - is somehow different from what others know it as. And “liberal” is an insult, so. They’re very confident they’re “left” of all creation, and any real-world effort to help people through existing national political structures is obviously corrupt and unworthy of examination.

          Does that help?

        Have you ever tried asking?

        The term you’re looking for is Marxist-Leninist. It is by far the largest communist ideology in the world.
