Wasn't South Korea one of the Asian Tigers? What happened?
Cooper Gomez
I don't think so comrade. The South Koreans have drank the anti-commie Koolaid because of the North. To be granted I don't blame them, but they are definitely not going to look at any socialist movements as a good one.
Bentley Russell
maybe koreans can put their nationalist spooks before capitalist spooks

You silly prole.
It's not slave labor if it happens under capitalism. The relation between those good sla… I mean, workers and their bosses are completely voluntary.
Leo Stewart
they dropped all the Keynesian and regulatory policies that made them successful and changed the narrative to 'total neoliberalism made us successful'
not that they wouldn't have gone into recession eventually anyways
Adam Fisher

Nicholas Wood

Logan Miller
Koreans are very fucking spooked, look at all the plastic surgery women go through, and that feminist terror group fucking shit up right now.
Easton Harris
they should just pull up those bootstraps and become prostitutes or something lol
or if we got rid of the programs feeding them, rich people could just take care of them through charity
Connor Phillips
Fun fact, North korea is real korea.
Wyatt Scott
Im interested. What did the unironic anfemposters of korea do?
Adam Price

Honestly I think for most of the world revolutionary potential depends on American stability. If America loses the ability to keep all of their puppet regimes in place then shit should start flying off the rails pretty soon.
Angel Davis
a very correct analysis.
Isaac Murphy
mark my words this shit is going to blow up so massive in a few years
Connor Roberts
The same thing happened in the U.S
Ryan Butler

Carter Cook
sounds made-up
Evan Garcia

Ayden Ross

You guys DO remember that SK has only been a democracy since the late-1980s, right? And not just in the "lelz, capitalism is fascism gaiz" sense, much like Taiwan (and as South Vietnam would've been, judging from Diem's antics), SK emerged from the US victory as a textbook fascist regime, with political transitions occurring only in military coups from one dictator to the next, until decades later when popular democratic movements stripped the government and their corporate backers of power and instituted major constitutional reforms.
Like Taiwan, politics in SK are a continuous struggle between deposed fascists/businessmen/mobsters attempting to roll back reforms, versus democratic/labor/student campaigners attempting to protect and advance them.
The forces of evil in SK have definitely been making gains since ~2010, but an organized pushback against them soon would be far from unprecedented.
