This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

So what even is juche anyway. Other than being the guiding philosophy of the DPRK that emphasizes self sufficiency I know next to nothing about it.

Juche is just Socialism with Korean Characteristics.

it unfairly gets translated to self reliance, but its main point is that the dprk faces specific conditions that are unique and that simply following a soviet/sino/etc model towards socialism will not be a comprehensive fit. therefore, koreans, as the movers of their destiny, should carve a unique path towards socialism, relying on the three theaters of revolutions: revolution in the ideological sphere, revolution in the technical sphere , and revolution in the cultural sphere.

It's not really self-reliance, but more about centering humanity. Essentially, the laws of the world are universal and materially driven, but that once aware of this fact and humanity's role in this process, we can harness that and direct it towards our own ends. The prolewiki page on Juche is extensive.
