    Are you calling the people on the receiving end of the genocide “genocidal”? Is your argument that if they just committed suicide, the pitiable Nazis wouldn’t need to go through the bore of conducting the genocide, so their refusal equates to demanding a genocide?



  • It’s not an oxymoron, the idea is that when there are forces with opposed interests, one has to win. Note that this is talking about opposed interests, not interests that are merely in conflict.

    So no matter how much you try to make concessions for the other, you have to choose if you want a bourgeois dictatorship (liberal democracy) or a proletariat dictatorship (people’s democracy) at the end of the day. Socialists just use less euphemism, and therefore accused of “admitting to dictatorship”, but a liberal democracy is the exact same type of dictatorship. The bourgeoisie interests dictate, and they make concessions for the sake of the proletariat.





  • It’s weird to me that this particular law was the one the colour revolutionaries rallied behind.

    A Hong Kong resident confessed to having committed a murder on Taiwan. China extradites people summoned for court or with arrest warrants issued by the Taipei rebel government to Taiwan as long as it’s for non-political offences. So they would extradite this murderer to be tried on Taiwan.

    Different parts of China have different laws, because it’s a big country with autonomous regions. Hong Kong, not that big, but for historical reasons have their own laws as well. If someone has an arrest warrant issued by one of the other Chinese governments, they will extradite the person to their jurisdiction. If it’s a different country, with which China has an extradition treaty, then they will extradite them to Beijing (the Chinese national government) and Beijing will send them to that other country.

    Taiwan is neither a separate country, nor a Chinese government whose arrest warrants Hong Kong respects. But the guy confessed to murder. He should be tried. So new legislation is required to make it legal to extradite him to Taiwan, either directly or through Beijing.

    That was the initial controversy.


  • establish a platform discussing history of Tiennaman square or Uyghurs without strictly adhering to government set guidelines, then they will likely be prosecuted.

    Tienanmen square has a 600 year history. You’re referring to one event, which is censored. But even that doesn’t cover the portion that is relevant to the history of Tiennaman, no part of the protests is censored. Uighur history also doesn’t have any censors.

    It is true that you have been able to identify one censor in your two topics (albeit with inaccurate wording). It’s also a particularly sensitive topic with strong disinformation campaigns targetting it. In 2020, many states worldwide issued censors on COVID and vaccine related topics for similar reasons.

    You can just visit KCNA’s website, it’s a normal website. I’m disappointed to see communists spread this type of disinformation. Yes, Israel is an illegitimate state. No, North Korea is not so fragile and dire that they can’t afford to humanely and non-punitively re-educate the like one weirdo Zionist they might have.

    This 'news' probably spawned from this article published 07/06/25. It doesn't talk about the same thing at all.

    Pyongyang, July 6 (KCNA) – Israel’s “war machine” which plunged the whole area of Gaza in blood is running madly.

    The Gaza area has already turned into a “ground hell” where the human existence environment was completely destroyed due to the war that has been going on for nearly two years.

    Since October 2023, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli army has increased at least 56 000 and all the inhabitants in the Gaza Strip are facing food shortage. Of them, 470 000 are in “fatal hunger”, the worst stage in the international index on the food situation.

    Even in the present situation that the humanitarian crisis has reached its extreme phase, Israeli murderers are constantly expanding military attacks in the Gaza Strip, which was turned into ruins, updating the record of genocide every day.

    Where is the end of bloody massacre and destruction, indeed?

    The Zionists have justified their unethical atrocities in the Gaza Strip under the pretext of the “hostage rescue” and “sweeping of Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement of Palestine)” and have so far misled public opinion as if they were the end of bloodshed.

    In the early days of the Gaza crisis, the prime minister of Israel asserted that Israel had no thought for permanently occupying Gaza or making the civilians emigrate from it, and that “the aim is to sweep away Hamas in Gaza and obtain hostages’ release.”

    In contrast with this, the sweeping of Hamas has already turned into massacre of civilians, total destruction of existence environment and forcible exile of the inhabitants in Gaza and the release of hostages has been placed in the back long ago.

    Voices to demand for ending war and realizing the humanitarian ceasefire are growing in Israel, saying that “sweeping of Hamas”, the main goal of the war, has not been achieved and the release of hostages is not feasible without negotiation. But the Zionists are persistently divorcing from this reality.

    It is proved by the acts of the Israeli warmongers who deliberately broke the ceasefire which had been difficultly created through the mediation of the international community in the past and gradually expanded the war, thus fling away the opportunity to exchange thousands of Palestinian prisoners for their hostages.

    The Israeli prime minister, who has recently become more upbeat under the patronage of his American master, is openly saying that there is no way to stop the war even if Israel brings hostages, swinging from his previous attitude of giving priority to the release of hostages.

    The Israeli military warmongers’ rhetoric is more direct. They asserted that “we will act with all our efforts and will not stop action until all the goals are achieved, including the voluntary immigration plan of the Gaza residents” and “unlike in the past, the Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw from the seized areas (although the Gaza war ends),” openly agitating full occupation and annexation of the Gaza Strip.

    The reality clearly shows that even if all the hostages are released, the bloody military atrocities in Gaza will continue with no reason and justification, and that only the result of the complete annexation of Gaza is the ultimate goal pursued by Israel and its behind-the-scene forces.

    After all, the Zionists are committing heinous crimes, regarding not only the lives of Israeli hostages but also the lives of millions of Palestinians as victims of the Jewish state’s wild ambition for territorial annexation and hostages for realizing their ambition to dominate the Middle East.

    The Jewish state’s crime to make peace in the Middle East and the rest of the world a sacrifice for realizing its expansionist ambition can never be tolerated. -0-

    For those who are happy about this

    It’s obviously a joke.

    North Korea regarding Israel as an illegal state is real, but it’s not news. They’ve been calling for it to be dismantled and restructured into Palestine since 1989.
