Socialism and Democracy in the DPRK
Socialism and Democracy in the DPRK
Bourgeois media continues to portray the DPRK as a totalitarian nightmare, populated exclusively by a pacified and frightened citizenry. As I have shown, this is far from the case. The north Korean people have a far greater say in how their lives are structured than do citizens of even the most “democratic” capitalist countries. They are not forced to adhere to a Party Line handed down from on high, but rather are encouraged to participate in the running of society. The DPRK is an excellent example of socialism, which is focused on developing the working class-and humanity-to its full potential. It is only through socialism that we can realize our collective dream of a free and prosperous society. The DPRK is marching towards this dream, even in the face of unparalleled imperialist aggression. It is partly on this basis that we should pledge solidarity with the country. To reiterate the point I made in my last post, however, the DPRK should be supported regardless of whether it is itself socialist. It is standing against imperialism, which is the greatest enemy of socialism. Indirectly or directly, the DPRK works in the interests of socialism.

Forget ‘BRI debt trap’ – US controlled World Bank / IMF is the REAL debt trap
Forget the fake Western claims about China’s Belt & Road Initiative: the US controlled World Bank and International Monetary Fund have been bankrupting and enslaving developing nations with crippling debt, “austerity” and financial colonialism for 70 years.

The situation in Solomon Islands represents another indictment of US and Australian imperialism. Talk of respecting the national sovereignty of small nations and of upholding basic precepts of international law is quickly abandoned when geo-strategic interests are at stake. Preparations to destabilise and potentially overthrow the Sogavare government threaten an enormous crisis in the impoverished Pacific country.

“Do You Want a War Between Russia and NATO?”
By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely crossposted
ISTANBUL – Emmanuel Macron is no Talleyrand. Self-promoted as “Jupiterian”, he may have finally got down to earth for a proper realpolitik insight while ruminating one of the former French Minister of Foreign Affairs key bon mots: “A diplomat who says ‘yes’ means ‘maybe’, a diplomat who says ‘maybe’ means ‘no’, and a diplomat who says ‘no’ is no diplomat.”

Korea Heads Toward a Political Crossroads
By Gregory Elich | CounterPunch |February 8, 2022
South Koreans go to the polls on March 9 to elect a new president, who will assume office two months later. At a time when U.S.-North Korean relations are at an impasse, and the Biden administration is building an aggressive anti-China alliance, much may rest on the outcome.

A Nomura Document May Shed Light on the Repo Blowup and Fed Bailout of the Gang of Six in 2019
It’s long past the time for the Fed to come clean on exactly what happened in the fall of 2019 that caused it to launch its repo bailout facility. Americans will simply never trust the Fed if it doesn’t.
