I think they are equivalent to nazis tbh, but you are right

first dip is due to increased sanctions, second due to covid. I am hopeful they will find other ways to bypass the inhumane barbaric sanctions

America is probably the closest country to nazi germany still surviving

Yes, they mention it. How a country sanctioned this hard supposed to make money?

did you even read the article?

"Last year, North Korea built 10,000 new homes in Pyongyang—more than either Los Angeles or Chicago. "

“South Korean think tank reports, with titles like “Sanctions Don’t Show in Satellite Imagery,” point to evidence that North Korea’s claimed economic progress isn’t mere propaganda”

“Vessel activity has surged at North Korea’s oil-storage facilities, which are being expanded. Many parking lots are more packed. North Korea now shines roughly three times as bright at night as it did five years ago, according to another report”

“Over the past year, North Korea has completed major construction projects that had stalled for years, including Pyongyang’s largest hospital, a greenhouse complex bigger than New York’s Central Park and a new beach-resort compound”

and much more, please read instead of spreading liberal lies

anarchist? spiritually same

by calling it out and talking more about it?

Yes they were liberated. And soviet union wasnt a dictatorial state, it was a state ruled by CPSU which had its member elected by the workers soviets, it wasnt a one man show but a systematic vanguard party formed by elected members. Also if you see the stark difference in worker rights, women rights, minority rights, racial raws between USSR and USA in their time you would understand who was liberated and who was not. Hope that helps.

Authoritarianism is a buzzword which liberals use to diminish any alternative political system.

what how

Authoritarianism is a buzzword and being anti authoritarian is a moralist position. Try arguing how democratic west was better than “authoritarian” east when, lets say it comes to women rights?

Marxism Leninism is the only political system that can liberate the masses.
