North Korea has also taken steps to strengthen the so-called “free economic zones”, the “market”, where the Workers’ Party of Korea for several years has rejected Marxism-Leninism, promotes the idealistic theory “Juche”, talks about “Kimilsugism - Kimgyongilism”, violating every concept of socialist democracy, workers’ people’s control, within a regime of nepotism.

Welp. KKE’s bought and paid for, huh?
I find the concept of Russia being China’s “cushion” just… it’s just such interesting alt-history. China is using Russia as a buffer against the U.S. in their inter-imperialist conflict over Ukraine. Fascinating stuff.
Russia must have become significantly smaller and weaker when I wasn’t looking, since it somehow became a Chinese satellite state hellbent on furthering Beijing’s imperial agenda.
I knew they’d keep taking massive Ls after they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on supporting tailist homophobic garbage.
KKE is probably the most CIA/spook proof communist party in the west. Its just that through sheer “antirevisionism”,older leadership and refusal to update their analysis they basicaly have arived at a maoist/leftcom position on China. Also yeah they do suck on lgbt issues (even tho they have very slowly be moving towards less reactionary positions, especially as the youth league and youth vote share grew a bunch) but idk by what standards they keep taking massive Ls. Relative to pretty much every western “communist” party they are doing very good and are probably at their strongest in decades rn. This doesnt say much since most countries dont even have a non irrelevant non socdem communist party with strong grassroots and union organizing, being at the forefront of a lot of the most important class struggle issues in Greece and netting wins. A bunch of the most prominent ones in recent being union struggles against Chinese multinationals that have bought large parts of the port of Piraeus so that may explain some of the China stance too
