So, pointing out that the US carpet bombed North Korea with 635,000 tons of bombs, killed 20% of their population and turned all remaining infrastructure to rubble is “tankie” now?
Parroting zionist talking points really well there bud. The fuck do you mean ‘wrong’?
The Viet Cong didn’t liberate their country from the US by being nice, and Palestinians won’t liberate theirs from US-backed Israel by being nice either. The difference here is the even more extreme brutality of the US that made NK the way it is today.
Well, that and the fact that the DPRK is being held hostage by one of the world’s most successful organized crime families. Had North Korea won, the only difference would be that the Kim family would control all of Korea. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the US made the Kims what they are.
One thing that I think is not widely appreciated enough, especially by younger people, is how much the fear of a third world war dominated the 2nd half of the 20th century. I don’t point this out as any kind of moral justification on anyone’s part, but rather as an explanation that is far more convincing than the simple US bad, communism good and vice versa that is so common on social media.
We have to remember that the men behind all of these events had survived the largest war in human history and absolutely believed in the possibility of even worse to come. It informed everything about how they thought about the world. How could it not? The things they had seen and experienced first hand were, as they say, the stuff of nightmares.
The number of tankies in this thread is just epic

The number of people who don’t think Israel should exist always amazes me.
It shouldn’t if you know Israel’s history.

You guys just can’t see non-westerners as human.

I think the statistics show it all in the Korean case. May be lot of tankies here, but they’r bringing factual data.
