    Juche is absolutely a socialist ideology, applying the ideas of Marx, Lenin, etc to the material conditions of Korea. I’m curious as to how you consider it not to be socialist.

      They themselves call Marxism obsolete. Have you ever actually read Juchean theory and history or is it just the red flag and memey aesthetics that enamours you?

        Anything that he mistakenly identifies as socialist/communist is automatically righteous and must be defended at all costs. He’s the stereotype that anti-communists harp about.

          It’s simpler than that. It’s just what happens if you’re not actually affected by class struggles in real life but instead “became a communist” through memes, social media and online entertainment like an aesthetic or a “PSA” post.
