The South was and still is under US occupation. Rhee led a fucking massacre on Jeju island against any suspected communists. The US and puppet Rhee suppressed any movement for independence and even today you can not express any sympathy for DPRK in occupied South. The military leader of the South is a US commander.
"everything"
Then name them.
Can you give examples? Both for war crimes as well as examples of imperialism?
When western anarchists dismiss AES countries for being "authoritarian" or "capitalist" then they are defaulting to the status quo of Western imperialism. When they say they dislike both USA and China for the same reason, they are again defaulting to Western supremacy whether they intent to or not.
I've had my share of anarchists that get extremely defensive over their country (usually USA) being criticized over enacting imperialism when they are criticizing AES countries and especially China and DPRK, as "whataboutism". It reeks of chauvinism and white supremacy, not realizing that there's an inherent behaviour of preferring their country to stay in power due to fear of "the scary Chinese" and etc.
"whataboutism"
what next? the buildings are made out of cardboard and the people need to push the trains?
The fascists in Finland killed communists in their own country. The USSR recognized Finland's independence.
But WOW of course you're going to compliment Nazis. Fucking fascist.
And what makes data from Vietnam not reliable..?
are you fucking implying that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis??
I was at the "Victims of Communism" museum and personally saw the spoon, or well only half of it as it was so big it would have taken me hours to walk around it.
Yeah a "democracy" that allows a cabal of pedophiles and rapists dictate the country and invade and kill other people in the global south is better!
What point are you trying to make? A country that commits some of the most heinous atrocities in recent history and has serious flaws in their society like racism and inequality does NOT get to dictate and police others on these matters, especially in matters of morality. It's completely ironic and hypocritical and not to mention reeks of chauvinism.
