This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

It is ironic how the US is causing all the protectionism and sanctions against their Liberal principle of free trade when the US had been criticizing anti-imperialists for the obstruction of free trade. It is as if the Pax Americana advocates were projecting their anti-Liberal actions on people of colors who demand democracy, meritocracy, and rule of law. Is the Western European liberals also the ones who provide the most support for command economy with the Bretton Woods Institutions that became the de facto government on the global economy even when they tried to deny this hypocrisy with their redefinition of Capitalism (government by for-profit firm owner), Socialism (government by working class), and dictatorship of the Proletariat (government by workers in modern American redefinition)?
I read somewhere that the DPRK is sitting on several trillions of dollars worth of raw materials. Allowing the DPRK to trade freely would mean they could move massive amounts of goods, making them a rich country. And then people would see how socialism could benefit a country and revolt lol.
But could the Pax Americana frame success by people of color as a problem that incurs unsustainable huge sacrifices or a problem that increase complecency just like the success by free riding Western European diaspora who lived on the innovation and skilled labor of other people? They did claim that success by Russia, China, Iran, and Iraq will make the people of color into the most evil countries and that the Liberals and Bretton Wood institutions need to establish an international command economy that overrides the authority of the invisible hand of the market to compensate for the laziness of the Liberals.
