    Seems like pretty standard North Korean sabre-rattling.

    Maybe instead of more arms, you should free your people? Or consent to at least feeding them, hmm?

      …but, but, but if you read many of the random comments on Lemmy, communism is good. If that’s the case, then why would they need to be freed?!

        I’m not a communist, but communism (or any other ideology) can potentially be a good thing and still implemented in terrible ways. If you want to argue against communism, fine, but “look how they implemented it in this country” is not a good argument.

          is not a good argument.

          That is the BEST argument. That shows it can’t be implemented in a real world environment. You have a locked down country where they can do ANYTHING they want and even in that closed environment where they control essentially all variables it fails and fails spectacularly.

            No, it shows it hasn’t yet been successfully implemented. There’s no reason to claim it can’t be.

              And we know that Jesus hasn’t returned yet, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility he’s not gonna get back this weekend.

              If you’re committing yourself faith in an extremely unlikely utopian visions, why not just stick with the classic?

                I’m not committing myself to anything but rational arguments. You have not made one.

            Give me one example of a good implementation of capitalism. Capitalism is proven bad. Better than feudalism sure , but let’s raise the bar a bit?

                  LOL Literally every one of those things have little-or-nothing to do with capitalism, but you just decided to throw everything out there thinking you actually accomplished something.

                  Probably the most hilarious one is you having the gall to mention that people are going hungry, and yet communist’s posterchild, North Korea, had some massive famines because the yield from communist farms was shit. It was so bad, that the eViL CaPiTaLiSts in the US actually gave them food aid to save their people.

    Lmao. Maybe we should drop copies of Oppenheimer on USBs over Pyongyang. Remind them that the rest of the world can nuke them back to the stone age if they actually declared war on anyone.

    Thankfully, most world leaders don’t play geopolitics as though it took place in some nightclub on three for one highballs night.

    I’m too old fat and slow to go to the club now, but I don’t ever remember picking fights working out very well for the aggressor.
