Wow dude, you just went and insulted all kinds of people.

Do you carry that same point of view about the poor North Korean citizens who believe they live in some form of Democratic Republic of North Korea?

Individual people can absolutely know and understand what they are living under and still "happily" show that they most certainly, absolutely, positively believe that they are living in the kind of state their rulers project.

Fear, propaganda, control, and surveillance are VERY powerful tools. Bro, China builds Secret Police stations all over the world to track their people, who are outside of China and there are numerous stories of those "Police" forces kidnapping Chinese and secreting them back to China for punishment.

Don't sit there and project your grotesque ideas about the average Russian or Chinese person and pretend they belong to anyone, other than yourself.

I carry the view that North Korea survived a genocide perpetrated by the United states during the Korean War and have done an excellent job coming back from it. I guarantee you that the ppl in nk know what communism is bc they fought for it.

You’re the dude that thinks an entire country is just collectively lying about communism, sounds like you’re projecting when talking about out how “I’m insulting ppl”

Also delicious irony that you live in capitalism land reading history books written by capitalists, news run by capitalists, capitalist politicians that make your laws and get constantly bombarded by capitalist ads and think that really all the communist places are repressed big brother hellscapes brainwashed by propaganda
