Are you…going to…eat my dog?
As if life in North Korea couldn’t get any worse. The poor (literally) people of North Korea have been experiencing a famine for years. Their access to such modern conveniences like electricity, cars, and the Internet are either non-existent or extremely limited. Now, they get one less thing to help them cope.
The Supreme Leader himself, the gout-riddled Kim Jong-un, has ordered all pet dogs in Pyongyang confiscated and killed. Pet dogs represent a form of “decadence” and are part of a ‘tainted’ trend by bourgeois ideology.’’
The government has identified all houses with the forbidden pets and is now going around and collecting them. Many residents fear that their pets are being turned into food, with the widespread food shortages that have occurred in NK for a while now, as well as the reported taste some in the country have for dog flesh.
Dogs are not man’s best friend in that communist paradise. Zoo animals were on the table not too long ago in that Central American communist utopia too. Here we are stuck with eating “regular” meat like the capitalist scum that we are.

Send Bernie, he cam make communism work according to Lars.
You lost the right to talk shit about economic theory when you started backing a dimwitted Neo-mercantilist. Mercantilism does not work either. Probably works less well than communism because the economy absolutely cannot adequately scale with the size of the population. It also does not help he is openly a fascist who constantly says the quest part out loud so there can be no denying he is a fascist. Unless you have no idea what “fascism” means. Which is the case for 2/3 of his supporters. The rest? They seem to actually like fascism. But since you decided to be a weak-sauce troll here is the response you were pandering for… Communist =/= Socialist Socialist =/= Social Democrat Social Democrat =/= Democratic Socialist And also Democratic Socialist =/= Market Socialist. These distinctions are lost on you but they do mean different things. Democratic socialist countries outrank the US in every measure of social freedom. They also outrank the US in every measure of quality of life. Democratic Socialism WORKS. Democratic socialist countries ALL outrank EVERY capitalist country in EVERY measure of quality of life. And damn near all outrank all capitalist countries in every measure of social and political freedom. The only answer the right has for that FACT is that “it won’t work here because…” and give a bunch of nonsense excuses like the US is “bigger” or has “more people” etc. Despite the fact that democratic socialism scales very well. There is also Market Socialists and their various theories. Some of which seem to have potential but Market Socialist ideas tend to be pretty damn outdated. During their shift to market economics both a China and Vietnam implemented some Market Socialist structure in their economies. China has mostly abandoned them except in urban housing, Though they are abandoning the remnants of market socialism in housing as well. And there is Social Capitalists that use a social market model. Germany uses a social market model. As for my belief. I am not a communist or socialist. I am somewhere between a Democratic Socialist and a Social Capitalist. However, i… Read more »
Wait a minute. Sapper3307 was talking about someone named “Bernie”. Last time I checked, the only nationally-known political figure named “Bernie” was a well-known hardcore Socialist (who is, unfortunately, too much of a wuss to say so in plain language and hides behind the “Independent” label). Yet above, you’re referring to someone’s supporters (and someone you don’t name) as “fascists”.
From the context, apparently you must have been talking about Bernie too. Because hat’s the only person Sapper3307 mentioned, and you never identified anyone else.
Are you now saying Bernie the Commie is actually a Fascist? Or are you now finally admitting that the Nazis – who you hold up as the textbook examples of “fascism” – were in fact exactly what they claimed to be from day one: a radical variety of Socialism that also happened to be both nationalist and racist?
C’mon, Koalemos (AKA Commissar AKA Poodle AKA Seagull AKA Cthulhu) – inquiring minds want to know!
Next thing you know good ‘ol Major Moonbat will be telling us that North Korea isn’t communist either!
And Joe Stalin wasn’t a true Communist, either, and most likely, Nikita Krushchev wasn’t a true Communist, all the way up to Mikhail Gorbachev who declared publicly “I am a Communist”, when the Soviet Union was bankrupt and the Politburo was dissolved.
So that just shags the whole theoretical twaddle rant, doesn’t it?
Stalin had the exact same dark triad personality disorder as Trump does. Sociopathy, narcissism, and sadism.
Stalin was not a true communist. He was a malignant tyrant that opportunistically used whatever gave him access to political support, power, and prestige. He was a populist.
He was also a notorious moron, like Trump, so he would never have understood communist theory even if Lenin tried to beat him to death with a copy of The Communist Manifesto.
Stalin ruled a communist society. But he was as much a communist as Trump is a capitalist. Other than a few propagandize phrases neither had/have any fucking clue what either economic theory means,
That just TOO easy a prediction!
Try harder. You epitomize the term ‘mordant idiot’, which is even worse than useful idiot, in addition to being completely predictable, boring, and ignorant of reality.
Give it up EX, You will never get thru to this moron! I wish Ed would just ban this cocksucker and be done with it? I am just sick of reading this assholes so called opinion?? Lars, just go back and piss your bed and suck on your Mommies Teat! Now please just fuck off and die!!! Trump will win by such a landslide you won’t even believe it!!!
No. It is communist. Though not true to communist theory it is definitely what has consistently been communism in practice.
Though Kim’s aunt did open a for profit Hamburger and Western Food restaurant in PyongYang.
North Korea has a pretty substantial shadow/black market economy. So it could arguably be regarded as having mixed market institutions. Especially since the ruling class has long allied with and benefited from the shadow economy..The shadow economy also helps bring in foods and goods to reduce some of the suffering in the society at large.
All that being said; it is as communist as it gets In practice.
True communism is impossible. All you get is despotic/tyrannical communism; death and suffering.
Oh, Jesus Maria della Street, you really are so predictable you don’t even know you’re alive.
Completely mechanical, rolling the same pins into the same sprockets ad infinitum. Keep it up. An encyclopedia written by a dunce is what comes out of your answers.
This is getting boring again.
He constantly says so in plain language. In fact, he does it using the language of the ill informed right. He doesn’t even try to explain the distinctions between these theories.
Just says he is a “Socialist”.
Claiming he is a “wuss” is another disingenuous lie from Hondo.
He never really was a socialist. He was a social Democrat but seems to have shifted toward Democratic socialism.
Bernie is famous for openly running for office as a socialist for decades.
Bull.
Even today, Sanders refuses to openly identify as a Socialist in the Senate and hides behind the “Independent” political label. He apparently is afraid that being truthful about his politics would be “politically costly”, so he quibbles, weaves, and bobs.
And please, spare me the “Vermont Progressive Party” BS. That’s simply another way of Bernie avoiding plainly identifying the fact that he’s a Socialist. And he’s been hiding behind that false-flag label since 1981, when Sanders left the only actual Socialist party he’d ever been affiliated with (the “Liberty Union Party”) and joined the VPP. He quit while their party chairman because they “weren’t active between elections”, thus harming his political chances.
And even the “Liberty Union Party” never had the guts to actually run under the “Socialist” label.
“Wuss” is accurate. If he actually had the guts to back his convictions, he’d run as what he is: a Socialist. Instead, he hides behind euphemisms like “Independent”, “Progressive”, and “Liberty Union”.
That is not true, you clearly are just making assumptions and have never checked your facts.
The fact that he is labeled an independent is a convention of the two party system. Not due to his failure to openly run as a socialist.
He has referred to himself as a socialist in speeches and on national television during interviews hundreds if not thousands of times in his career.
Here he is answering the question on TV decades ago.
https://youtu.be/M_QLek6Qvzg
In recent years he has referred to himself as a democratic socialist. Which is more accurate anyway.
Actually, everything I said above is documented. Check the Wikipedia articles on Sanders and his electoral history, and the Liberty Union Party.
The sources for those articles are solid. The article on his electoral history primarily uses the Vermont State Archives as a source; that’s about an authoritative a source for electoral history info as you can get. The article on the Liberty Union Party includes this as backing for Sanders’ reason for quitting the party:
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2209&dat=19771012&id=wgdlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5HkNAAAAIBAJ&pg=5788,2134518&hl=en
Bottom line: since 1981, he’s never run as the candidate for any party that clearly identifies itself as “Socialist”. In fact, since 1976 Sanders has run as an “Independent” in every general election in which he’s been a candidate (that includes every time he ran for Mayor of Burlington).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Bernie_Sanders
Bernie may well have claimed to be a Socialist at times, and we all know that’s what he in fact is. But he’s never run for office openly as a Socialist. Outside of Democratic and Progressive Party primaries, since 1976 he’s run as an “Independent” in every general election in which he’s run for office.
Oh, and I see you apparently still haven’t caught on to the main point of my initial comment.
Hondo, obviously, LARS has forgotten or never heard of the Larouchies, who ran on a specific party ticket, and Angela Davis, who ran several times on a Communist ticket.
Bernie’s a quack and a quibbler and won’t admit publicly to being a Commie even if you offered him beer and skittles.
Obviously you know fuck all about the inherent flaws of our winner take all political system and how only two parties will even be viable.
Also, LaRouche ran as a democrat 6 of the 7 times he ran for president.
Davis ran once, as a vice presidential candidate. She did not run as a candidate in her own right. She joined a ticket AFTER the party nominee was selected. It also was not a serious effort to run a campaign. It was merely an effort to draw attention to a message. She had no intention of winning.
She also left the communist parry. Because she disagreed with its vision and who it politically allied itself with.
Which is exactly why Bernie is not a member of the socialist party. Because the party supports and endorses dumb disagreeable and bullshit ideas, as well as some horrible world leaders.
So, you’re finally admitting that Sanders is in fact a Socialist who doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to join the party and work for its success by running openly as a member (even though he was a member of their youth affiliate when he was in college).
Glad to see you finally cleared that up, Commissar Wumao (五毛).
Oh, and actually Angela Davis was the CPUSA’s VP nominee twice – in both 1980 and 1984. They got about 0.05% of the popular vote nationwide in 1980 and about 0.04% in 1984.
Can’t say I’m surprised you didn’t bother to check before running your yap. For you, that’s simply “business as usual”.
I understand your “main point”…
You are among bullshit and completely disingenuous argument that he has no integrity because he runs and an “independent” or “democrat” rather than “socialist”..
He openly runs as a socialist. Just not a member of the socialist party.
We have stupidly designed winner take all election system. Making more than two viable parties impossible.
It is not a question of integrity to choose a party that best fits, or to be an independent and ally yourself with on of the two dominate parties, that is the best anyone could do. He is open an honest about his position.
You are holding him to a standard you know is bullshit. But I expect nothing less from you Hondo. You spent four years bitching about a Obama travel costs, but when Trump exceeded the entire costs Obama ran up in eight years in Trump’s first year you were silent.
He has sense racked up hundreds of millions more in travel,costs; worse most of that money went into his pocket since he insists he and his staff and other senior officials stay at his hotels – on the taxpayer dime….
Yet you are SILENT on the issue.
Because you are a no integrity partisan hack,
The only reason you have taken a knee is because you know in your heart that a Trump is a corrupt, malignant, shitbag….but you are too much of a social coward to say it. So you just submissively ignore all the stuff he does.
With your credibility in the shitter from self-inflicted ass-hattery, why do you expect anything you throw to be seen as anything but the fabulist raving of an idiot?
Actually, you still didn’t get the main point of my original comment.
I’m guessing you never will. So I’ll spell it out for you,
numbnvts.
The main point of my original comment was to point out that you never identified who you were referring to as a “fascist”.
Your original comment was a reply to a comment by Sapper3307. The only individual named by Sapper3307 was Sanders. Someone who didn’t know your history would have assumed from the context you were talking about Sanders – not Trump.
I pointed that out to you pretty explicitly. And you missed that.
Damn, Koalemos – sometimes I think Jethro Tull released some music that describes you quite well not long after you were born.
Hondo,
I am fearful to bring this up. You are so powerful that even Chuck Norris looks for Hondo under the bed at night. SO please don’t beat me up. Here goes………..
Wait…….? What!? “Cthulhu”?
Maybe I haven’t been paying attention, maybe you’ve called Poodle Dick by that name before, BUT (and a mighty big “butt” it is) I take objection to calling Komrade Kommissar Squawking Seagull by the name of one of HP Lovecraft’s greatest character creations. Not only “no”, but “HELL to the NO!”
I know I can’t stop you (free citizen, writer and editorial management), but please, please, don’t do that again. I ask and implore you as a fellow TAH dillweed. Don’t make me cry in my beer (I hate watered down beer).
Have some respect for both HP Lovecraft and Cthulhu.
Thank you for listening.

Sapper: You protest at too great a length to be taken seriously.
Sapper wrote one sentence. One sentence is “too great a length to be taken seriously”?
I think that was meant for me. I am the one protesting too much to be taken seriously.
He wrote “Sapper” on accident.

There is rhetoric and then there is overblown rhetoric. Dude, you’ve really been blowing rhetoric. We get it. You have an opinion.
If the social support programs are so vastly superior than what is available in America, why are an overwhelming number of people leaving their native countries to legally and illegally immigrate to America? If you are going to uproot your family and relocate to a place where you do not speak the language, have the means to support yourself and start your life all over, why not try one of those nations that provide so much more to their citizens?
We have among the worst social safety nets of all industrial democracies.
Try again.
We also are also not in the top 5 of net annual migration. I don’t think we are even in the top ten.
Most people would rather immigrate elsewhere. And do. Other countries have higher net annual migration right now. But for people on an entire continent we are the easiest industrial democracy to reach; so we will always rank fairly high.
We are first among total immigrants. But that is because we are a nation entirely founded and almost entirely populated by immigration so have had high net migration rates throughout our entire history as a nation.
Our immigration rates have been falling since 2007. We simply are not that great a destination anymore.

“Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production are socially and collectively owned or controlled, alongside a democratic political system of government.”
No, Democratic Socialism does not work. Great Britain tried it after WWII, and it was a miserable failure. Where has it worked?

Try to find a cattle owner who will be willing to sell you a full side of a steer. It is not cheap, but you get what you want. You will need a freezer chest for that, too.
But it’s not “real socialist,” say Leftists here.
It is not socialist at all, nitwit.
Socialism is not the same as communism. Communism is entirely a response to capitalism and is entirely a 19th century political theory. Socialism predates capitalism by centuries.
They are not the same. Not at all the same.
In fact Karl Marx specifically and explicitly called out socialism as being ridiculous. He actually though capitalism was a better and more viable theory than socialism.
Hmm, seems Lenin might disagree with you just a bit there Commissar…
https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-7/lenin-socialism.htm
Interesting. Thanks.
Seems like Lenin & friends were only interested in destroying the old order and had no idea what “Socialism” was or how to build a Socialist country. reminds me of an old Robert Redford movie, “The Candidate”. The whole movie is about Redford running for office. He wins, and the last words in the movie are him saying “What do we do now?”
So it turns out “Socialism” is whatever Lenin Stalin, etc. said it was at a particular point in time. Like the Supreme Court definition of pornography, “I don’t know the definition, but I know it when I see it”
A communist is someone who reads Marx and Lenin; an anti-communist is someone who understands Marx and Lenin. –Reagan
Haven’t seen he was wrong yet.
How badass is a general that he has a row or two of medals on his pant leg? Just….wow!
Yeah, but I’m calling Stolen Valor on the General closest to the camera.
A closeup look at his rack reveals that he’s wearing the Order of the Red Banner of Three Great Revolutions upside down./s
Each of those Norkie Generals looks like they’re wearing enough cheap bling to stock at least three dozen Middle Eastern bazaar tables!!
Gee whiz, Fatty Kim da T’ird still hasn’t reached the excesses that put Stalin on the map. Lame.

There are creeps in South Korea who trap feral cats and sell them to meat vendors, who market the cat meat as something that will give the consumer a longer life.
It’s against the law, but they do it anyway. And the trapped cats aren’t euthanized, they are boiled to death. These same people do it to dogs, too.
Don’t believe me? Kritter Klub has a video of it. It is very illegal, just as it would be here.
Not as funny as it once was. Not since my wife and I went to an authentic Chinese restaurant a few months back. Ever hear that old saying about “everything but the squeal”? Even that was on the menu.They don’t even have the decency to hide the various parts by using them in sausage; they are all clearly and individually listed on the menu. With pictures. I’m pretty sure even zoologists can’t identify some of those menu items.
Those people are not like us. They scare me. Locusts have nothing on them. I am convinced they are responsible for the disappearance of the dinosaurs.

“Is This an Unaltered Photograph of North Korean Officers with Medals?”
“North Korea officers …. could easily be defeated with a magnet.”
According to Snopes, the claim is FALSE and the photo HAS BEEN altered:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/north-korean-medals-photo/
Claim: ” A photograph shows a group of North Korean generals wearing medals on their shirtsleeves and pants.”
“A photograph purportedly showing a group of North Korean generals covered in military medals (including their jacket sleeves and pants) is frequently circulated on humor web sites along with disparaging remarks about the country, including “North Korea officers…. could easily be defeated with a magnet”.
“While some members of North Korea’s military have certainly been awarded a great number of accolades, the above-displayed photograph has been altered. The soldiers in the original image, which has been circulating since at least 2007, do not have medals on their sleeves or their pants” (picture is in the article).
“We found no official photographs of North Korean generals wearing military accolades on their pants. A photograph from 1995, however, shows a group of soldiers covered in a similar number of awards” (picture is in the article).
“These images are frequently circulated along with the insinuation that the pictured soldiers do not deserve the medals they’re displaying, because the North Korean military has not seen combat for decades. However (putting aside that military medals are usually made out of gold, silver, or brass, which are non-magnetic materials), military medals are frequently awarded for non-combat accomplishments.”

Thank You for sharing!
That brought flashbacks to me of watching East Germans soldiers goose-step during guard changes at the “Memorial for the Victims of Fascism and Militarism” in East Berlin back in late 70’s.
Whenever we had a unit from West Germany visiting Berlin for combat in the cities training we escorted them for a day trip to the other side of the wall. Everybody wore Class A uniforms minus name tags and unit crests.
The Soviets did the same thing except they kept everybody on a bus to prevent escapes. One hot summer day their bus broke down on Clayallee in front of the Main PX/Commissary opposite U.S. Army Berlin HQs (now the U.S. Consulate). Everybody had to sit sweating facing forward awaiting a tow. People bought cases of Coke to give to them but they refused to open the bus door to accept them.
In the video of the Memorial, you can see on the columns where they patched holes left from the Battle of Berlin.
I was on a bus at Checkpoint Charlie the day it was loaded on a flatbed and shipped.
What do the magnetic qualities of a medal or badge have to do with anything?
Snopes used to be good, but what a shithole they’ve turned into.
I’ve come up with a new battle plan to defeat Norky Land. Develop a space magnet…. bwahahaha!!!!
