To be fair DPRK are not nazis or any kind of fascist. They are a hereditary autocratic state that would be called a monarchy if their head of state had a different title.
Also to be fair most “Marxists” on lemmy seem to have no real education in political science, history, or political philosophy so you cannot count on people to be educated.
It cracks me up when they brag to each other about how they “read theory” all the time. It’s like the Trumpers who “do their own research”. They’re reading some echo chamber article think piece that just reinforced what they already think. They need to read something like History of Economic Thought, or New Ideas on Dead Economists.
These insulated groups that just run around shouting that only their narrow vision of the world is the right one are always filled with stupidity. There’s never one simple answer. There’s rarely one ultamite truth. The world is shades of gray. So are economic systems. Anyone who wants total communism, socialism, or capitalism is a fool. The tankies that tout how amazing China is without realizing they really aren’t even communist anymore is just something else to me particularly.
