  • Stop. You are not entitled to tedious explanations of everything. You are abusing the good will of the members of this community. Many users have been exhaustingly comprehensive in answering your questions, but you insist on being dismissive, obtuse, and lazy. It is clear that you’re trolling. I hate to consider the alternative and how it reflects on your behavior, so I’ll give you the benefit the doubt.

    Edit: whoops, I forgot I was reading a month-old thread. So, I added a strikethrough to the word “stop” since this conversation was over until I showed up.

    It says:

    She was the first South Korean director who was allowed to visit North Korea after Korean War without being charged for treason by South Korea, because she has a German passport. She gave up South Korean citizenship and took the German one just for making this documentary and getting a visa and the permission of shooting from North Korea

    The phrasing is a bit odd, but the reference goes to a DW article, the subheading of which is:

    A new film made by Sung-Hyung Cho attempts to give outsiders an insight into life in North Korea. The director, who even had to give up her South Korean nationality to shoot the film, spoke to DW about the project.









  • Ah, the same Reporters Without Borders gaslighting the world about journalist deaths in Gaza?

    You know how it’s frustrating when far right reactionaries roll up in lib spaces on reddit spewing propaganda the sources of which they haven’t investigated critically? That’s you. You’re doing that here. Please stop.





  • Yeah, I butchered it also.

    “Firstly, it is not true that fascism is only the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. Fascism is not only a military-technical category. Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy. There is just as little ground for thinking that Social-Democracy can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution. The bourgeoisie cannot retain power without such a bloc. It would therefore be a mistake to think that “pacifism” signifies the liquidation of fascism. In the present situation, “pacifism” is the strengthening of fascism with its moderate, Social-Democratic wing pushed into the forefront.”

    I am interested in your perspective on differences between the original writing and the use of the phrase today.
