God damn libs fucking hate Korea. Democracy and self-determination for rich people in white countries, genocide and occupation for everyone else

Nowadays there is a corollary that goes "As an online argument goes on, the chances of one or more participants revealing themselves to be Hitler approaches 1"

They laundered all of Europe and America's sins through him like a fascist Jesus

I mean you're right that it's not disputed among leftists, but that's because it's generally not contended among leftists. The US maintains a military occupation and economic domination of the south, while the same is not true of China and the north. This seems like another one of those "whatever bad thing we're doing, China must be doing worse because they're the bad guys" pieces of folk wisdom that can't be substantiated. Which I'm not laying at your feet, to be clear, because I used to be a "communism no iphone 100 morbillion dead" person and I know how pervasive these cliches are.

Who, in your estimation, is the government of the north a puppet of?

I eagerly wait for the day the southern half of Korea no longer suffers under the yoke of the Samsung corporation

sigh

Barf

Quick look at your profile and I see you are having several simultaneous bad-faith arguments on multiple threads. I feel stupid for falling for it. Will block and move on.

"Bad faith is when someone refutes the dumbass capitlalist premises that have brought us to fascism, anyway I will be running away now, making me the victor."

Everything? Like everything?

Everything that concerns the production, distribution and allocation of goods and services

Damn, sorry to hear about your reading troubles, prayers up🙏

I wasn’t accusing you directly,

No, you were just doing it indirectly

The point being that it is easy to just paint “capitalist” on everything

Everything that concerns the production, distribution and allocation of goods and services, yes. Because it's the nature of capitalism that it must paint itself onto everything, commodity everything, continuously expand into new "markets", no matter how depraved. Take it up with the economic system that causes this process, not the people pointing it out.

Neither the meme itself or the article it is referring, mention financial gain as the motivator.

Do you think this hypothetical corpse-breeding industry would somehow not be, you know, an industry? Do you think it would somehow be immune to the all-consuming profit motive that's strangling every other part of life for most of the human race right now? Of course it would be commodified!
