People often claim that socialism is complex, and when attempts are made to implement it, they criticize these attempts for not following the theory correctly. However, the reality is that a system as complex as transitioning to a new system is inherently difficult and complex.
The idealism and dogma of left communists resemble the temper tantrums of children. They demand that socialism be served in the precise form they envision, like ice cream in a cone instead of a cup, or purchased from a specific vendor like an ice cream truck. They fail to recognize that obtaining the desired outcome may require adaptations, such as buying it from a supermarket, even if it takes a bit more time.
In the end, the left communists' rigid adherence to their vision, regardless of practical considerations, is akin to a child's tantrum over minor details. They lose sight of the bigger picture and the challenges inherent in creating a new social and economic system. Flexibility, nuance, and a willingness to learn from experience are essential for the successful implementation of socialist ideals.

In Fake Korea, and in countries in Americas sphere of influence demonizing the DPRK is a profitable endeavor due to the country's isolation, sparing economic and geopolitical repercussions. Similar to the Kpop industry, the perpetuation of fake news about the DPRK is a crucial element in maintaining Fake Korea's existence. This practice thrives on belittling and demonizing the DPRK, showcasing how the production of false narratives serves as a valuable enterprise within the context of Fake Korea's operations

Americans are so accustomed to being filmed and telling lies on camera that they do not understand how nervous and awkward this process is to people of other countries. Those videos are so poorly scripted and amateur that it seems much genuine.Its intentions are clear.I'm now very wary of videos/content that is slickly produced and able to arouse right emotions.

> Bombing Serbia was a family affair in the Clinton White House. Hillary Clinton revealed to an interviewer in the summer of 1999, “I urged him to bomb. You cannot let this go on at the end of a century that has seen the major holocaust of our time. What do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life?” A biography of Hillary Clinton, written by Gail Sheehy and published in late 1999, stated that Mrs. Clinton had refused to talk to the president for eight months after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke. She resumed talking to her husband only when she phoned him and urged him in the strongest terms to begin bombing Serbia; the president began bombing within 24 hours.

Water Droplets Drilling Through Rock (1990) - Xi Jinping From the essay collection Up and Out of Poverty (2016). Upon settling in the countryside, I saw firsthand the power of dripping water drilling through rock. That image, which captured the spirit of persistence, has stayed with me all these years. It has become a well-worn source for contemplating life and movement. Rock and water are two opposing elements that are used to symbolize dogged stubbornness and gentle fluidity. Yet despite being “gentle,” water will drill through “solid” rock over time. As a metaphor for people, this is the embodiment of a certain moral character: it is the willingness to rise to fight each time one falls and the courage to sacrifice oneself. A single drop of water is small and insubstantial. It will die a cruel “death” in any battle with a rock. Yet in that brief moment of “sacrifice,” even though it cannot see its own value and achievement, it is embodied within the countless drops of water that have already fallen, and the triumph of finally drilling through the rock. From the perspective of history or development of an economically disadvantaged area, we should not seek personal success and fame. Instead, we should strive to make steady progress one small step at a time and be willing to lay the groundwork for overall success. When everyone doing our work models themselves on a droplet that is ready to sacrifice for the greater good, we need not worry that our work is not important enough to make lasting change! As a metaphor for things, dripping water is a demonstration of dialectical principles that use softness to overcome hardness, and the weak to control the strong. I believe in the invaluable spirit of that drop of water, which bravely goes into the breach with no thought of retreat. Those of us who are involved in economic development will inevitably encounter complications in our work. We can either rise to the challenge or flinch and run away. It all depends on whether we have the courage to adhere to philosophical materialism. If we allow ourselves to be filled with trepidation, the kind of fear that comes from standing at the edge of an abyss or treading on thin ice, we will lack the courage to do anything. We will accomplish nothing. Nevertheless, courage alone is not enough. When dripping water takes aim at a rock, each droplet zeroes in on the same target and stays the course until its mission is complete. The drops of water fall day after day, year after year. This is the magic that enables dripping water to drill through rock! How can it be that our economic development work is any different? Just look at areas where the economy is lagging. Historical, environmental, and geographical factors have all played a part in holding back development. There are no shortcuts. Nothing can change overnight. Instead, we need to focus on the long haul by turning quantitative changes into qualitative changes. We need to be the dripping water that drills through rock. When talking about reform and opening up, we cannot assume that help will be coming from left and fight, nor can we afford to wait until conditions are perfect enough to ensure success. Instead of building palaces in the air, we need to square our shoulders and get down to work. When talking about economic development, we cannot simply race to build high-rises and open up big factories, nor can we focus on dramatic results at the expense of necessary infrastructure. Otherwise, success will be elusive, and opportunities will be easily missed. Instead of daydreaming about overly ambitious or flashy projects, we need to have a firm footing in reality as we take concrete steps to reach long-term goals. Instead of “setting three fires” in the hope they will succeed, we need to work steadily and make solid progress. Our work calls for the tenacity to keep chipping away. Working by fits and starts will not get us anywhere. When I describe my awe upon seeing the power of droplets drilling through rock, I am praising those who have the willingness to rise each time one falls, and the moral character to sacrifice for overall success. I am expressing my admiration for those who develop a solid plan and then have the tenacity to see it through to the end.

Shostakovich was said be Stalin's favourite composer. But he resented the censorship in Soviet Union and had hidden messages in his compositions. And those compositions were a middle finger to Stalin in disguise. This is a very widely spread narrative. What are the truths and falsehoods in this narrative.
My buddy here from upside down land ready to fight the revisionists in wikipedia 24/7 in the name of Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Guevarism. But he just happened to be against all the Actually Existing Socialist states.
