@ploretariat1949 @AndreTheodisk Here is the fully story of DPRK views on Chinese reforms: https://t.co/l87JCvHOQi

@JucheMaxing @AndreTheodisk It is important to not only defend People's Korea from imperialist and bourgeois propaganda but also ultra leftist propaganda as well

[🇮🇹 Alaricus Rex 🇰🇵 @JucheMaxing]

In 1961 the DPRK signed a Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance with the USSR, then ruled by Khrushchev. If it followed your idea (mistaking an alliance for an uncritical attitude towards allies), the DPRK would have stopped criticizing revisionism and dogmatically imitated Soviet policies, thus eventually collapsing together with the USSR in 1989-91. Likewise, the DPRK would have collapsed or ended up as a weak puppet if it had swallowed up Chinese advices (and pressures) to give up nuclear weapons and implement market reforms.

History luckily followed a different path, because the DPRK never meant the alliance as an excuse for giving up its own independent judgement and for uncritically accepting whatever allies do or say. Alliance with China is not a recent innovation but something that has existed since the founding of the DPRK, going through highs (early 1960s, 1970s and today) and lows (1956, late 1960s, 2013-17) but never ceasing to exist—and never implying an absence of criticism and differences between the two countries: https://t.co/6oCUiVVLLm Criticism can be downplayed at times, formulated through periphrasis such as “a certain country” or “some people” to observe the diplomatic etiquette, or even be expressed behind closed doors or through individual officials such as KASS and IIJI professors, but it never ceases. And the DPRK grew stronger and more respected by China itself precisely because it never stopped critically assessing foreign policies and theories from a Juche standpoint.

There is no contradiction between the stances of Kim Chang Gyong and Kim Jong Un. If you think otherwise, you are mistaking the alliance with China for servility towards great powers and for an uncritical, dogmatic attitude towards foreign theories, and giving up the task of “waging an uncompromising struggle against all opportunistic and counterrevolutionary ideological tendencies that are contrary to the ideology of our Party” (Rodong Sinmun, 18 June 2026).

@AndreTheodisk I am the first researcher in the Internet age who translated the works of Deng Xiaoping into Italian language (see https://t.co/r7SyacSKU5) and I firmly support China. However, as Kim Il Sung taught, unity does not rule out ideological struggle against opportunism:

@AryJeayBackup IMO this message from the Leader of Iran, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, is intended to help the Iranian people understand the 'real' Iran fully well understands the US character, does not trust it and is very well prepared for any and all eventualities.

It is to reassure the people.

@angeloinchina Good! I have only one thing to add: #Ownership.

It will take immense violence to wrest #Ownership from the hands of the corporate elite, and many middle class folk, who administer the whole farrago, will have to die perforce.

Marx identified the oppositional interests between classes and the struggle to control the state and organize production for whoever holds power.
Today that dynamic is playing out with brutal clarity. The Western ownership class has won the class struggle so completely that most people don’t even know the battle happened, let alone who won or what it means for them.
The West is run by a transnational capitalist class.
These globalist elites treat whole countries as mere tools — instruments to pursue their own worldwide interests.
They wrap themselves in national flags and talk about serving the people, but really they’re using the nations they control to serve themselves.
A massive propaganda war flows straight out of this reality.
The ruling class pretends it’s all about national security and defending democracy, when in fact it’s about super-profits and monopoly power.
This double game only works because of a constant stream of lies that obscure the underlying truth.
That’s why Marxism and class analysis aren’t dusty relics. They’re the only tools that actually make sense of what’s happening right now.
While these Western elites chase hegemony at the direct expense of working people everywhere, China represents something completely different: peace through mutual prosperity, win-win trade, lifting up the Global South, and putting technology to work for human need instead of private greed. The contrast couldn’t be sharper.
The West’s answer has been to contain, isolate, and try to break China. They’re doing it even if it damages the global economy, spikes energy prices, and hurts ordinary people — including workers in the West. We’re already paying for it. Decoupling means no more cheap Chinese batteries, EVs, or solar panels for regular families. Supply chains get weaponized, inflation eats wages, and innovation gets slowed down just so the elites can protect their dominance.
Politically it’s locked in. The oligarchs have their hooks in both parties and across governments, so the containment agenda grinds forward no matter who wins elections. They’ve consolidated control over most media — mainstream and a lot of the alternative stuff too — which lets them censor inconvenient truths and flood the zone with lies to manufacture consent.
Pretty soon they’ll try to cut us off from open Chinese AI like Qwen and DeepSeek, tools that could actually empower regular people instead of just Big Tech monopolies. The elites would rather make their own populations poorer and less competitive than risk losing ground to a rival system.
The enemy isn’t China. The enemy is this transnational globalist oligarchy that steers the West and uses countries as disposable tools in their power game. Every sanction, every tariff, every tech blacklist, every scary headline — it all comes from the same class interests dressed up as patriotism.
Socialism with American characteristics — putting the state, credit, technology, and key industries back in the service of the working majority instead of footloose global capital — is the only realistic way to make America great again. Not slogans or more wars or culture war distractions. Real sovereignty and real power for the many. Everything else is just managed decline with better marketing.

On 18 June 1974, Soviet military commander Georgy Zhukov died. He was arguably the greatest military commander of World War II.

He was the man who halted Hitler’s advance at Moscow, crushed the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, shattered the Wehrmacht at Kursk, and took Berlin, ending the war in Europe.

Western leftists: Korea is getting richer because it “adopted shitty Dengism”.

Meanwhile, the DPRK: *criticizes Chinese revisionism, exterminates black-marketeers, strengthens centralized planning and advances towards a classless society*
