Land Promises

---

This 80+ year conflict in Palestine is full of half-truths, obfuscation, and bias. A Zionist will tell you about how Jews have lived there for thousands of years and is the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people, that they deserve to live there. It's true that many modern Jews descend from the Levant, but that does not make it more okay to genocide, cleanse, and subjugate everyone else that lived there before all the diaspora Jews moved in, many being just straight up white Europeans and Americans. It does not excuse all that's happened, especially within the past 2 years.
There were many events that lead up to the land being promised to Zionists, only really one of which lets them have the land.

During WWI, there were 3 correspondence that went around:

1. The Hussein-McMahon Correspondence
• Basically, if the Arabs rose up against the Ottoman Empire, they'd be guaranteed recognition and independence
2. Sykes-Picot Agreement
• An agreement between England and France to split up the Middle-East (in spite of the other agreement the year before)
3. The Balfour Declaration
• Correspondence between England and major zionists, including the Rothschild alive at the time, that promised the land to them.

All 3 of these things happened within just a few years during WWI. They promise the land, which isn't even theirs—people love to talk about the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact during WWII about dividing land between Russia and Germany, all while countries like England and France just do whatever they please and get away with it—and basically turn all the people who live there into little pawns for whichever group they help from.
There were countless conflicts between the incoming British and Zionist colonists, thousands died. Especially after WWII when there was a huge push for Israel, the deaths kept mounting. Stalin tried supporting Israel to be against the West, but he realized Israel was just the West's watchtower in the Middle-East so he stepped away.

On Democracy and Control

---

The constant need for "freedom" and "democracy" within the Western world is quite agitating. I'm not saying people should be slaves and have no control over government, I'm saying that these ideas of freedom and democracy that are fed to people since the day they're born are simply devices to guide and control them. It has driven wars and hatred all around the world, destroyed people's lives, gotten people killed, and still remains within the shadows. These governments present this idea of freedom, a freedom to choose and decide, democratically, the future of the nation and government. If you see that from the outside, with what we all know, you'd laugh; how could they ever think they have any sway in anything ever?
It is the goose-stepping mantra of the misled American "patriot," the calling card of the Western European neo-liberal propaganda sphere, the nightmarish echo heard in the heads of those caught at the end of the West's baton. The idea that, no matter how bad things can get, you can just use your god-given power to change it all. It is a folly that they think that the system is in any way salvageable and that they just need to wait a little bit and things can change. It is this ague that makes them point at their enemies with king-like pomposity—that they are better, more free, more in-the-know, more conscious than the "others."

They squander their time picking a poster-child who won't represent them or the things they need. Instead, those elected take time to institute their own agenda in place of what should be. Being paid to go against the people, building up their buddies' wealth through the spoils of being elected.
How anyone could care enough to continually want this, and want to express this system upon others, is insanity of the highest degree. Even when revolutionary action is being fomented, these ideas still creep in and split apart the people. Only when the need for this faulty system is dropped can true action come. (I'm not saying you should just accept a straight-up dictator, but you shouldn't spend your time searching for a liberal-style democracy. It does not represent the people and their needs.

The Unfairness of the Party System
Gaddafi

---

I will admit I didn't really read that much of the Green Book. I read the first chapter and realized it was just as mish-mashy was Marx; word salad, essentially. Not to say they're bad or wrong, just that reading them is confusing and difficult.

If I took anything from reading that first chapter, it's that the party system and the representative system simply are not democratic. Gaddafi essentially explains it like this:

Political struggle that results in the victory of a candidate with, for example, 51 per cent of the votes leads to a dictatorial governing body in the guise of a false democracy, since 49 per cent of the electorate is ruled by an instrument of government they did not vote for, but which has been imposed upon them. Such is dictatorship. Besides, this political conflict may produce a governing body that represents only a minority. For when votes are distributed among several candidates, though one polls more than any other, the sum of the votes received by those who received fewer votes might well constitute an overwhelming majority. However, the candidate with fewer votes wins and his success is regarded as legitimate and democratic! In actual fact, dictatorship is established under the cover of false democracy. This is the reality of the political systems prevailing in the world today. They are dictatorial systems and it is evident that they falsify genuine democracy.

Here, he is saying that for one party to win the other must be beaten. Through this, a government is set up that only represents a part of the people, the people that voted for them. In his example, 51% of people voted for one side and 49% voted for the other/others. The larger number wins and gains power, but, that 49% is just left there; they, despite being a large part of the voters, are ruled by an administration that doesn't represent them. Almost half of the people did not agree with the other party. Lets say there are 3 parties: the winning party got 49% of the votes while the other two got 30% and 21%. The largest number wins, but, the other two parties, despite getting less, add up to be more than the winner. More than half the people didn't agree with the winning party, but get represented by it anyway.
A real life example of this is the most recent US presidential election. ~77 million voted Republican and ~75 million voted Democrat. Obviously the larger number wins, but it's literally so close. Both are less than half of the amount that voted and the Dems combined with the other parties add up to more than the Republicans; ~2 million voted non-main party. ~78 million people are represented by an administration that they didn't vote for.
This is not even mentioning the lying, greed, lobbying, tampering, etc that goes on within the system.

The system forces the people, willing or not, to vote for party instead of policy. It is a major divide amongst the people that creates unnecessary hate and anger that is only used control the masses. You are forced to either not vote because nobody fully represents what you believe or capitulate to whatever else a politician wants to even get a chance of something you want getting passed. I often say "I don't care if eggs cost a little less, my tax dollars will still be used to kill children across the world." Most of it's not even policy that one would actually even bring up, at least not without a motte and bailey argument for it (disguising your unusable argument behind something serviceable).
Gaddafi proposed a system, complexly explained, that essentially puts all the power in the people's hands. They put their representative in that listens to them and works in the government, that they can get rid of at any moment they want if they feel the person isn't doing their job, and they have hundreds of people from all over come to represent where they live at the meetings. That's the basic explanation, it's much more complex and you'd have to read more about it to understand.

The DPRK has a similar system: people from the counties elect a rep with a "yes" or "no" that go to the congress-like system and represent the needs of their county. "Congress" then elects the General Secretary that works with the people, local governments, and congress to make policy and changes. You aren't electing a person or a party, although those are basically things that happen, you electing policy/people who will represent your people's policy needs.

I just want to talk about Gaddafi's death and all the events around it. Gaddafi took power in a revolution and promised all the money from the oil drilling that Western countries were making would go back to the people. He made housing cheap and un-Blackrockable, education free for both genders, paid money to pregnant and new mothers, helped people buy cars, etc. He brought power back to people who had been exploited for so long by countries like France; they had money, were educated, and were politically active. Gaddafi held a position in government, but not one that was extreme; he left power to the people through his government structure. He maintained power over the military, though. For decades Libya was doing well, all while foreign governments like the US were spitting BS about them; Reagan was especially critical of Gaddafi, probably because he was like the neo-liberal, but, also because he was just racist. In 2011 the NATO convinced Gaddafi to give up Libyas weapons and he was promptly brutally tortured and killed by invading NATO forces. This comes after years of paying opposition groups and forming fake protests.
After Gaddafi's death the UN set up a faulty provisional government long enough to get the money from the oil production; after that the government fell apart, gangs went wild, and all the wealth and prosperity was gone. People are incredibly poor now, violent gangs kill people, groups are subjugated, everything's just bad. No care in the world from the West, they just wanted their blood money back—that's how they pay for the famed "Social-Democracy," by centuries of exploiting other countries.

That is why I say that any country that gives up it's weapons to a Western force, especially the US, they deserve what's coming for them. You cannot give up that leverage to the most rabid group on the planet. The DPRK has its defense, which keeps the US at bay, and can hopefully lead to peace and potential reunification of the Korean peninsula.

On Hate
The Modern State of Education

---

Everywhere you look, every direction, it's just hate. Hate is in everything. It can get really disheartening, just scrolling online and you get a post and everyone is just full of hate; not even vitriolic hate, but the kind where they think it's funny. There's the racism and the phobias: people being open about their hate and how they really want everyone else to hate too, saying that finally Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism is becoming more common and that it's a good thing. Most of it's just people not understanding the hypocricy of going after Islam but not Christianity. They want the same thing, but the other side is brown people.
That, or a video of some kind of mental health episode or the culmination of months of bullying resulting in a major, violent breakdown.

Hate, especially now, is just evidence of an uneducated idiot, a floundering person. It's a failing of the system, the government, and all facets of life. That the government isn't regulating this hate, that schools aren't teaching things that don't allow people to be stupid, the internet not being regulated to stop hate. It's a stupid, stupid adherence to a stupid rule like the vague idea of "freedom of speech." Like, obviously, speech shouldn't be regulated all the time, but people shouldn't be allowed to say idiotic things.

This goes back to the US allowing hate, allowing hateful, racist people into powerful positions, allowing hate to control the country and maintain control over the world. Get your people to hate your enemy at a genetic level and you'll get anyone to go fight for you. Racism doesn't challenge the system, especially when it's built on the back of racism, it uses it. Progressive change is never achievable without violence and control. You cannot let one single person be racist because it can set off a chain reaction.
You don't just kill kulaks and bourgeois because you feel like it, you kill them because they are hateful and stupid and will do anything in their power to get back to what was before. You don't kill hateful slave owners, they will do anything in their power to get into the system and change it to racism's benefit. YOU CANNOT ALLOW HATE TO SURVIVE.

You cannot have a successful revolution without eradicating stupidity and hate. It will always come back if you do not do everything in your power to end it. It has no merit and should never be considered of equal standing to anything. Idiotic, hateful people can not be allowed to have a voice, ever. If you do not use your strongest weapons against hateful people, you will be overturned. They are already doing that, eradicating non-hate, everywhere you look.
Japan with their new PM vowing to get rid of immigrants, also being one of the most misogynistic nations on Earth. Korea also being racist and misogynistic. The US working overtime to hurt people and make racist power real. Europe not understanding cause and affect about immigration and freaking out. Australia doing the same. Nowhere is safe from hate, we must eradicate it.

____

This has been something that's been happening for years. Stupid people can't think for more than 2 seconds about something and just make the dumbest takes and descisions possible. This mainly has to do with phones, but is a general thing. The US school system is so unbelievably bad right now, and it has been for a while. Constant underfunding, bad policy, stupid people doing stupid things, etc. Kids aren't doing great in school right now, that's a fact, but, people can't seemingly think about it. Older people want to blame phones, kids, parenting, social media, etc. They just want to freak out and throw shit around, calling kids stupid and saying how much better they are and whatever else. It gets really annoying, like racism annoying, because they can't just think.
Schooling is underfunded, teachers aren't getting paid, kids have nothing to look forward to, the economy is shit, social media is using predatory tactics to harm kids, the government isn't doing anything, parents have to work all day, new parents have to work extra hard due to everything, etc, etc. There are all these outside factors that nobody can even consider; instead let's blame kids.

It's really annoying an tough to see. No matter how much I think people around me are dumb, I will never think of them in the way that these people do. I know a bajillion people who I think I'm smarter than, but I know that they are smarter than me in a million different ways and probably have better grades than me (most of the time). The way kids are talked about is as if they are adults: they are expected to know everything, do everything perfect, and be little angels. Nobody's ever been like that, and kids never will. Education is getting worse and people are falling behind, but it's a million other reasons that the kid's faults. It's like my stance on oppressed people, I will never blame kids for how they are today nor what's going on. Adults, the system, the government, schools, etc have failed kids on many major levels that has nothing to do with kids themselves.

On Subliminal Thought and Understanding

---

I don't really know how I'm going to start this, I mainly just write what immediately come to mind without consideration of making a true, serious piece of work. I'm not a super serious, smart guy who can write BS like Marx did.

This is a topic that I think is really hard to write about. That people have unseen, internal biases that guide the way they think and act is very well understood and talked about, but, in the field of debate and discourse, using the point of "you have internal bias that makes you say the things you do" makes you look insane. That's the thing, it's well understood and real, but the general consensus of discourse is that it doesn't hold up; sure, but it's real. That's what makes it so frustrating to even think about using in an argument. The other person can just say "erm, no, what are talking about?" and they win.
This topic comes from a long train of thought I've had for years about debate and understanding; and also after writing about Zionism and general bias towards these colonial powers instead of the opressed. I'm a very literal person, and I'm also a person who makes a lot of connections that don't really make sense. I can't sit through an explanation if I already know the whole thing and more.

A rule, a fact, must be established for this: people have internal biases guided by where they live, what system they grew up in, what their parents were like, what media and propaganda they are exposed to, what people they grew up around, etc. We already understand that all these things contribute to how a person is today, yet we throw it out the window when it comes to discussing things at a subliminal level. This idea extends to all forms of thought about all kinds of topics.
A Zionist siding with Israel has biases toward the colonial power, often because they live and grew up in a pro/past-colonial country (that probably also supports Israel). A person aware of how US/Western propaganda works will still be tricked by it subliminally: the West is saying that China is genociding Uyghur Muslims and doing all sorts of things. Now, a person can understand how pervasive this sort of messaging is, and they can throw up all the shoddy evidence and stories they want; the person, often, will fall for it, all the while trying to seem neutral on it; a centrist. The person is biased by living in the colonial west, living under a colonial power, a country that is sworn enemies with that other countries, and one that is racist, sinophic, and islamophoic*.
There's another thing I added in there: they attempt to say they are a centrist or neutral about it when, in fact, they are quite opposed to the other side. Now, that's not always the case; those are just people who sort of understand the bias.

All in all, the idea is that people have an internal bias fueled by all sorts of things, but the concept is thrown out in places where it's most important, like debate, history, and general discourse. I really do want to write more about this and explore it more, as it's something that's been brewing inside me for years, I'm just not very good at annunciating, explaining, and extrapolating things. It's a tough concept, yet it's literally right there all the time.

___

* I marked islamophobia because it's one of the big things. More and more, I see people in the West use islamophobia and speak of Muslims in such a disgusting way. 9/11 certainly didn't help, but, again, that's just more subliminal biases: the US funds the Mujihadeen, who becomes Al-Qaeda and hates the US, and then does an attack (which, I guarantee the US knew about) that the US uses to fuel the war in the Middle-East. Through all that they inject islamophobia into everything, every single part of living. People seemingly think they came to hate Muslims on their own because Muslims are just such disgusting and horrible people, it's human nature; that it's not something was influenced by the fucking Byzantine Empire fighting the Arab nations all the way up to today when we really need to get in and destory the Middle-East and take all their goodies for our own.
It's really funny, but also disheartening, to see all these tweaked out Europeans and Australians freak out over this.

The West goes after whatever's happening in China, despite them hating Muslims infinitely more than any Chinese person could. It's hypocritical because the West has also subjugated and hurt Muslims. Not just Muslims, but Natives, Japanese, Chinese, Africans, and all other peoples. To go after China, with barely any evidence, over something we do all the time, all while funding Israel and every other disgusting group, is majorly hypocritical.

Ending Capitulation with Hate

---

Just as you must stop capitulating to colonialists, you must stop capitulating to those who hate. Those who hold their own race over another, those who hold their class in society over another, those who vote for policies that hurts others, those that make their life and job spreading hate and violence, and those that eat it all up. We are too advanced as a society and a people to still be kept down by racism and hate; we could be so much more advanced right now if it weren't for us wasting our time with slavery, Jim Crow, bus seat classification, etc. These ideas must not be held to be just a merited as progressive policy and action. There can be no Nazis in a "melting pot." These people cannot populate our government and our polls, and they cannot be allowed to gain access to law.
If a person has a flag with a swastika on it, if a person has a totemkopf tattoo, if a person throws up a Nazi salute, and if a person speaks about those of another race as if they're inferior, they must all be taken down or reeducated.

The US has allowed this kind of idiocy and hate to prosper. They outlawed communism back in the '40s with the Smith Act, and they haven't acted on it for a while, but they could. This happened during WWII, the war against the Nazis, not the Cold War; you could be in the Nazi party in the US and spread your hate during the fight against them. Nazis don't want to go after the system, they don't care; in fact, they didn't because the system was still built for them, civil rights weren't a big topic yet and the government was probably full of racists. They only go after leftism because they want to change the system as it's racist, classist, and operated by the bourgeois elite. They elite could not allow the thing that brings them lots of money to be brought down.
These ideas cannot be allowed to run the government, cannot be allowed to be within the population, cannot be viewed in equal merit to other things, and cannot be allowed if we are to continue as a species.

An actions plan would be to further organize against this hate, go after people for hate, make them scared to leave their houses, and further educate the youngest, most impressionable people. While political violence is often not the way to go, sitting back and allowing the other side to be violent and hateful will only bring our destruction; it's called the paradox of tolerance: you do not tolerate those that don't tolerate you, as you will be destroyed by their hate. You must stamp out the other side with your force to further equalize society. You must make them know that their beliefs aren't acceptable and are wrong; they know, that's why it makes them feel good to be openly hateful. You gotta "Kirk" some of them.

Ending Capitulation with Zionism

---

After interacting with Zionist arguments for around a year (I don't know how I didn't find out about the genocide until this year) I am done. I am done capitulating and bending over backwards to try and argue some sense into these people. I don't know how many are bots or trolls, but I been around enough to be tired. I moderate a subreddit and we ban blatant Zionism, but these people always feel the need to send a modmail afterwards, usually to say more heinous things or to argue. Last week I really got into it with a couple of Zionist who were being fresh.
It was late at night and I was tired and upset, I was going through unanswered or new modmails when I found this one guy asking who the "resistane groups" were in Palestine and I answered that it's mainly Hamas. They then went on a whole thing about their ban being a "badge of honor" if we really saw Hamas as a real resistane group. I actually copy and pasted my whole response and talked about it. After, I was in another argument with another guy who was trying to act like we had to argue and debate like our arguments were of equal merit. I told him off and blocked his tries at seeming genuine.

I am a very literal person and am direct with how I feel about things may the need arise. I do not capitulate to saying Hamas is a true evil and that Israelis are victims. I say that if you are a colonist on colonial land, you're death by resistance is not unjustified. People coming from New Jersey and helping to tear down a Palestinian school in the West Bank to build more housing; that's fucking crazy. I just saw a video of just one of many instances of Israeli settlers coming up over the hills and attacking unarmed Palestinians, young and old, trying to harvest olives. That's the disgusting thing, Israel settlers, often guided by the IDF, go into the olive growths and attack people just trying to farm. They burn down trees, set cars on fire, harm and kill Palestinians, and even attack UN Press cars. The video I saw was of a masked Israeli man bashing an old woman over the head, potenially killing her.
I've often laid out how I do not capitulate online and people throw a fit. I said what I said at the top of this paragraph and some dude said "yikes." They cannot fathom that I do not hold empathy for muderer colonists.

This also falls back to the Zionist folly. People who seemingly can't fathom you not siding with the oppressor and calling you whatever names. Colonialism is always bad and "I don't agree* with Israel," but KHMAMAASSSS is bad. Violence through resistance is always horrible to these people. You'll have completely normal people condemning the opressed and siding with the opressor.
So, I say, stop capitulating to these people; never allow them to get you to go against those being killed or allow their rhetoric to seem normal. You must understand the historical events, the materialism, the people, everything. Their ahistorical garbage cannot continue.

____

* As I mentioned, this is used as a prerequisite to arguing about the genocide. They can seem neutral enough to an outsider and make you look bad. It's Zionsim veiled through lesser-evilism.

Excerpt from an argument with a Zionist
The Centrist Folly on Foreign Events

---

Sure, you can be a centrist (zionist) about it and say that actions on both sides are bad; you can wear that as a "badge of honor."

You're trashing one of the only resistance groups against a genocidal, colonial country with higher weapons, nukes, billions of dollars of military funding, and American tax-funded welfare that has razed Gaza, captured the West Bank and subjugated it's remaining native to public beatings, killings, torture, poverty, and racism, controls the borders and the food that comes in and starves the population, illegally kidnaps aid workers in international water after bombing their boats with drones, continues to bomb the country through a ceasefire both times in recent history, drops bombs daily with intent to kill innocents, blocks aid in Israel through protest, etc.

Israel lives 1 million times better in every facet of existence (through colonial money and outside support) and has only brought hate and death to the world. Israeli people can leave their houses, go the store and buy food, go to school, ride a bike, drink clean water from the tap, go to the hospital, and post anything they want online.
They will never worry about F-35 jets flying over with bombs; the children will never learn the difference between the sound a jet makes when it's carrying a bomb vs when it has dropped it already*; they will never worry that settlers decided that the location of their school is right where they want to build more settler housing and they have to demolish the only place you can learn; they will never worry that the settler's military decided the hospital they're in is dangerous and they must destroy it, stopping your treatment, or, stopping your treatment and leaving you to either starve to death or be blown up; they will never have to plan on going to the baker with their own ingredients in the morning or having to risk their lives getting food from the settler food site where they shoot and kill you; etc.

They will never understand a lot of things that they subject Palestinians to daily, but they are happy to allow it to happen. I doubt you understand or care to even think about how fucking awful, miserable, and hopeless Palestinian life is. To think that you'd diss the only people standing up against the force that subjects them to this life is telling; you are an unempathetic Zionist. You see events through the frame of reference of the colonial, racist west and that any slight against the oppressors is worthy of utter condemnation and death*. You are setting an unreasonable standard on Palestine and its resistance force that you do not use for the literal racist ethnostate of Israel and its war criminals. Stop trying to act impartial when you are in full support of the genocide because they hurt Israelis, their genociders and oppressors.

You people make me sick. Fuck you.

____

* I highlighted this one because it was probably the biggest hit I took when learning about just how bad this genocide is. It wasn't even something I thought about until then, the fact that the kids could identify whether or not a jet had a bombs in it by the way it sounded. They could also tell the distance of the bombs dropping and whether or not they were in danger. The kids knew when they had to pack things up and head to safety; pick up the toys, end the game they were playing.
I learned all this through Dr. Mohammed Mustafa when he went on Hasan Piker's stream and told anecdotes from his time there. That the kids would laugh at him when he'd get scared about the bombs because they knew whether or not they were dangerous; the bombs were so deeply ingrained in their life that it was normal for them, they'd laugh at those who didn't understand the ins and outs. It's sickening that this is normal and basically "genetic" to these people.

* I highlighted this because it basically sums up the main problem with western Zionism and how even regular people who are supposedly "nuanced" and "centrist" hold insane zionist beliefs. This is just my response to a person; they were basically saying "I don't like what Isreal's doing, it's bad, but I also think what Hamas is doing is bad." Which doesn't really seem like a huge thing, but it's the full context and their true feelings that matter. To these types of people they think it's a nuanced view, but it's really pre-programmed Zionism; they can only criticize Hamas and Palestine, never Israel because they already did that with the preface of "I don't like Israel." Their response to my message was to double down and call me crazy. Not acknowledge any of the points I made about the difference in life and difference of treatment.

I really want to dial in, and I don't know if I will be able to in just one sitting or post, on the "framing through a colonial, western lense." That seems to be another huge thing: they can only understand these events, and many others, through the facts of Israel being better and more tame—it's not a vocally expressed thing, it's subliminal—Israelis deserving to live there and express independence, Palestine just having a not-good tinge because of Hamas maybe, Hamas's actions perking your ears up a bit more than Israel's would. All these are almost subliminal, things people just have within them. It's because they live, grow, learn, understand, and die in the West under the colonial ideology. Colonialism's not good, but, those darn terrorist scumbags have gone just too far.

It's a tactic that's almost genetic; your guys are superior and the other guys are the subjects of your power. Even though you know colonialism is wrong and only serves to hurt people, you seemingly give the colonial power a pass. You acknowledge they killed people and subjugated the rest for money, but, that was then and this is now, no point in dwelling on the past. But, you do. Like in Apartheid South Africa. The West demonized Mandela, called him a terrorist, despite being aware of the system he and his people were under. There are people who were fine with it because they're racist and want to express their superiority on the inferior; they're fine with it.
But, there are regular people who are aware of the system disagree with it, but somehow still side with the oppressor. This is the worst kind of person, akin to the "white moderate" MLK spoke of: someone who knows the problem but kind of agrees with it and just wants to keep the status quo and the peace. I think this applies to the nuanced centrist zionist. They know Israel is a colonial, ethno-supremacist country that was basically built to cleanse the area, but are too used to the idea that the people are there because it's their ancestral homeland and they have a right, they are a past subjugated people, they are our best friend in the world; they yearn to maintain this order of knowing Israel is bad, but wanting to keep the status quo. They do this because the oppressed are too different and deserve it—mentally, of course, they don't actually know they think this way.

The Zionist Moderate will continue to justify, yet speak against (only slightly), Israel and its actions against the defensless state of Palestine because it maintains order and changing things would result in potentially hurting the colonial power (that they feel a subliminal empathy and care for). They can justify this through all sorts of things that make sense in the moment, but, more than 2 seconds on thinking would quash them. Ethnic cleansing, Holocaust 2, Islamophobia, aparthied reverse racism, etc.

I have a lot more to say about this, and I will continue at some point, but this will have to be the end for now. It's technically the weekend which means no politics and I get to sleep more.

The Democrat Loop

---

There's this loop that the Democracts goes through almost constantly. It's a viscious cycle that consumes political discourse and political action. We could be on a good path, but nope, "Republicans did something bad so we need to throw a fit."
The loop is, essentially, this: political dissent against the system is mounting, potentially on both sides, and people are coming together to speak against the system, but then, Republicans will do something bad, be it racism or full on assassination, and this reaches Democrats. Democrats, after finally sort of working with the left, will hear about this thing and obviously be mad, but, they are also upset that everone's always criticizing them; the left for allowing conservative and right-wing action to happen, the right for being dumb commies or something. They've just lost some kind kind of important office to Republicans, and many of them blame those who didn't vote; leftists and apolitical people. Because all of this has been mounting, they are really angry and they lash out at everyone and double down on the system.

I've heard, recently, about a GOP group chat that basically just has a bunch of racist, anti-semitic, white nationalists in it; very typical. But, since this came out, I've gottona good couple of videos of Democrats sounding off about everyone criticizing them and how we should really be going against the other side. Full 5-minute videos of people in their cars screaming about leftists and how we lost the election because of pro-Palestine protesters.
Now, I thought this a typical thing that wouldn't tweak people out, but, it did. This also lines right up with a book rally from Kamala Harris where some protesters interrupted her show, and she said some BS about whatever, but she was like very obviously drunk. This has been a win and a pushback on revolution to the Democrats who seem to still praise her and laud her despite her not winning the election, disappearing for almost a year, and coming back with some stupid book. It's obvious she's tapped out on politics, but people still push and she seems to like the attention.

Even without the loop, Dems still can't even comprehend a world without this system. I've seen people, after all that's come out, still talk about voting better and voting the other side out and all this stuff about continuing to use this system that continues to allow stuff like this administration to happen. It's really annoying and tiring. Libs will not wake up.

The Black Book of Communism

---

Many people like to cite crazy numbers when talking about "Communist death tolls." Many of them seem insane. Most, if not all, surpass Hitler and fascism's death toll in Europe; this shows that communism is worse than fascism without even trying. But, where do all these crazy numbers come from? If you look online, nobody can seem to agree on the numbers; some going into the hundreds-of-millions, some dropping down around just a million, and others going all over the place.

This is because:

1. People make stuff up
2. People go to all different kinds of sources
3. People depend on sources that use the Black Book of Communism

The Black Book of Communism is a commonly cited source on death tolls in communist countries. Real historians do not use it, as it's obviously known to have been written in complete bad-faith, and most of the authors has disavowed it or deeply criticized its methods. The main author's agenda was to reach 100 million deaths, and to that he admitted to making numbers up, adding a few million here and there, counting Nazi soldiers killed in war and Soviet Soldiers that died fighting against Nazis as deaths caused by communism, counting unborn babies, and many other things.
The Black Book and tacitcs used in it have been used against every other communist expierment to lie and propagandize Western people against socialism.

Even without those tactics, capitalism will always beat "communism" in death and sheer cruelty. Tens of millions a year die from poverty and capitalism-related problems. We have enough money to feed every human on Earth, build global welfare, and keep peaple healthy; yet, we don't.

Stop lying and doing capitalist/Western propaganda for free.

People snatched by secret, masked state agents for going against state ideology

---

Current West England ruler Donald Trump has been laying out plans to further subjugate the citizens of the selfish country. He has continued the racist rule of centuries past and has set secret state agents upon those not deemed "fit" to be American; this includes those not in agreeance to state values, and those deemed genetically and economically impure when compared to the Great Founding Father's guiding principles and vision based on Great visionary Adam Smith's founding works. Commander of War Donald Trump just this past year set up a floundering military birthday party for himself, with dithering attendance and seemingly uninterested soldiers marching scarily uniform. One might ask what might happen if a mistake is made?

After the failed parade, Leader Trump announced his plan to go after state enemies and those deemed anti-American. These plans have been set forth throughout the year and multiple cities have been filled with the country's own military. This is to back up the not-so-secretive masked state agents kidnapping and disappearing non-whites irregardless of citizenship status. They need to do this because the citizens of the rogue state are fighting back, many homeless, starving, and struggling from wage-slavery the state enforces as law.
This is then followed up by the recent announcement from the State: National Security Presidential Memorandum - 7. In this memo, Leader Donald Trump ramps up his illegal and violent crackdown on "anti-state" sentiment. It pledges to go after "anti-American, anti-Christian (the state's religion), and extreme sentiments on race." This follows a long history of state violence and crackdown at general left sentiment used in times of increased dissent and anti-state politics. West England has made sure to lie and brainwash through faltering education and state/bourgeois-owned media. This, of course, has continuously failed; much culture and politics from outside make it through the purposefully watched and divided internet.

The crackdown began in the set-piece government city of Washinton D.C and has spread across the country. State agents bring kidnapped dissenters to blacksites where they use torture on them. That, or they are brought to a prison camp without food or water and must wait to be shipped to a West England puppet state for imprisonment and furth torture; they export torture. This torture mimics the actions perormed during the illegal Iraq War and the UN's illegal invasion of Libya.

During Donald Trumps reign as Commander of War, multiple countries have been illegally invaded and provoked. The US admitted to sending a special, state-trained team to secretly invade the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in an attempt to place listening devices in important areas. During this invasion a group of innocent fishers were killed and the mission was cancelled. A similar attack took place in Venezuela's waterspace, provoking the already bullied nation. Venezuela has taken serious offence to this slight from the isolated nation and has rallied its people. West England has taken this as a provocation of war and has ramped up military prescence in the area to threaten the country.

More to come about West England's authoritarian crackdown on anti-state dissent and provocation of innocent countries.

The (Neo)liberal Folly

---

There is a sort of cognitive dissonance and obliviousness that, at least, American liberals have, where they can seemingly find fault in US action or policy, but it's always veiled by the "fact" that it was a mistake. Like it was just an oopsie and lapse in character, but they also need to add in all these Social Darwinism sort of things.
When we invaded Iraq, we killed a lot of innocent people and did horrible things to destabilize and ruin the area, but, we also brought "democracy" and freedom to these people. The killing, political mishaps, and all other things are just oopsies that we did, but are overshadowed by how much "good" we did.

It gives an excuse for the US's very obviously bad policy and system, but also encourages it. That is the liberal mode: admit a little fault but fight tooth-and-nail to maintain it. No amount of bad could ever change their mind because it's always just a momentary mistake that can be corrected, but never is.You get a really bad president who does awful things that nobody likes. Well, just impeach him. Oh, he didn't step down? Well, just vote better next election. Oh, we got another bad president? Well...

And that bleeds out into all other avenues. We can basically genocide Koreans in the Korean war (and make the bottom half our economic colony), we can nuke Japan twice (then let all their war criminals get away if they become our economic colony), destroy the Middle East with help from our best friend, etc. Basically just economically colonize all the places worse off than us. It's all an oopsie that can be fixed with better policy, but it's also justified 'cause we're better, more powerful, and righteous 'cause everyone else is bad, actually.

____

I have a teacher who exemplifies this perfectly. He admits genuine faults and horrible action from the United States, but it's all just history that (to him it seems) we have grown from; not that we continue to act the exact same way. This neoliberal stance that we have made mistakes, but it's all justified 'cause were better, they're bad, and we will grow from it.

He also exemplifies "the inherent evilness of [communist country/enemy of the US]" thing. He, of course, spews the tried and true anti-communist rhetoric about these countries bullied econimically and militarily. The US benevolently snuck Western culture into the Soviet Union to get people on our side to turn the tide on "gommunism." Not that the US interfered in Soviet elections to get Yeltsin, a hopeless Westaboo and a drunk, to illegaly dissolve the Soviet Union. He also said that about the DPRK. We are sneeking this "beautiful" Western culture into an "isolated," evil country that sucks. Not that we flattened, wiped out, economically bullied, and starved them and that's why they are the way they are.
We are never bad, US action can be bad, but it's all justified through the "liberal psionic mindset" of thinly veiled Social Darwinism.

It's a really tough thing to sit through, but also, to know that this is how other people are actually learning about these things and it is how many will carry themselves through life. The liberal folly of justified mistakes.

Difference in treatment between Israel and Ukraine

---

The way I've seen people discuss the two varies quite a lot. Israel seemingly gets a different set of standards when interacting on an international level, even in the genocide, compared to Ukraine. Both are treated quite well by Western liberals.

What I mean by that is: Israel gets no-question funding from the US, while Ukraine also gets funding but it's sort of conditional; Israel has their genocide supported, while Russia is the de-facto bad guy; and Palestinians are treated in a polar way to Ukranians. What I'm really trying to get at is that we have a different set of standards for both conflicts for no real reason except that we favor one more.
I keep seeing online people arguing about the peace deal and wether or not Hamas/Palestine should accept it. I saw someone bring up a good point: "why is that Palestine should accept the deal no questions, but if you told Ukraine to accept a deal—especially one where Russia gets land, material, reserves, etc—you'd look fucking crazy. The difference between the two is insane; one is being genocided and ethnically cleansed from an area with 0 military strength, while the other is in a territory war with high-level military apparati.

I've seen people (probably Zionists) say that not accepting the deal would be an admission of "not caring" about Palestine and whatever else. Either that, or they are liberals who have their head stuck way up in their ass and are not aware of the current climate of things; maybe some exceptionalism run-off. You'd never ask Ukraine to cede land and reserves to Russia, so, why would you ask Palestine to cede land, reserves, and more to Israel? It doesn't make sense.
People have allowed Israel to control the narrative this entire time, and nobody stops to think how batshit insane it sounds. I really don't get it. I mean... I do, but it's just so insane to try and explain.

I currently do think that there should be a ceasefire and peace talks, but it should only lead to the dissolution of the State of Israel and its apartheid regime. If more information come up I might talk about it and change my mind, but currently, it seems like everything is stacked against Palestine and we have insane double standards based on who's involved. Ukraine would never cede land to Russia, why should Palestine accept any kind of BS peace deal with Israel, their genociders?

US History assignment

---

Since it's "beginning," socialism has been hated by the US. It goes against everything the system and the robber barons intended. It more hearkens back to what the Founding Fathers might have intended for the US.
What do you mean the people should be able to control and manage their workplace? The place they spend a majority of their waking hours, the place they know like the back of their hand; owners and capitalists are rarely even at their business, they're out golfing or making more capital and exploitation.

The US has so vehemently opposed it, they actually made it illegal. The laws that would allow the US government to fire, jail, imprison, and even deport suspected "communists" are still here, it's just that they haven't felt like it. Now, all this was happening during and even before WWII when we were fighting the Nazis. You could be in the Nazi party in the US, openly, while you could be executed for even being a suspected communist. That's frustrating and sickening. Our country seems to care more about something that would challenge the system and make it better over a group of violent racists.
The Smith Act was just a part of a long series of anti-communist behavior which includes McCarthyism, Red Scare, and even the recent NSPM-7 that attacks left politics and action.
The Smith Act and NSPM-7 are quite similar in the idea that they're vague pieces of legislature that the government can twist to fit whatever they want. The Smith Act would go after anyone "advocating the 'violent' overthrow of the government" and NSPM-7 will go after "anti-American, anti-Christian, extreme views on race and immigration." Two very vague things that only attack leftism.

Anti-communism has been genetically taught to the American people. It's in our blood to get a negative feeling about it, and that's intentional. One might think it's because of the "authoritarianism," despite us not being any freer, that people are opposed to these ideas. That might be true, but, think, why is that the first thing their minds dart to? It's because that is the only part of communism or socialism that is really taught. They want people to dislike it, for the same reasons I mentioned earlier. (The CIA admits that the "dictator" thing was exaggerated.)

The US doesn't want people who question the system, who want to change things, who want to go directly agianst the mission of the bourgeois and the modern liberal democracy. That is why they only go after leftists, never right-wingers.
The US government didn't care about Malcom X when he was in the Nation of Islam, but, when he dropped it to become more radical left about black freedom (instead of just being racist) that's when the government perked its ears up. They allowed, and probably encouraged his assassination. Same with MLK, the CIA actually sent him a letter, pretending to be a self-loathing black man, that told him to end his life. Then, look to the Black Panther Party: something similar to Nation of Islam, but more radical-left. The US constantly infiltrated the org. with moles who would insight discord in the group.
All of these are examples of the US trying to take down left action that would challenge the system.

The mode of action for the past century has been to protest, congregate, try and pass laws and bills, and generally peaceful means of politics. But, you'll notice that nothing has really happened; Amazon is exploiting workers, American industry still exploits Chinese manufacturing, environmental protection is quickly sliding back from the '80s and '90s, and leftism is being attacked again. If you're not stupid you'll realize that peaceful and slow action does not matter when those at the top with power do not want change.
This is why nobody likes social-democracy, it allows bourgeois power to remain and control the "revolution." Stalin called social-democracy "... the moderate wing of fascism." (Concerning the International Situation, p.3) That essentially means that social-democracy is used as a front for the bourgeois power to remain in control; they do this to thwart change and revolution.

This is why many advocate for swift action against the system in a revolution. Some advocate a "vanguard party;" some advocate an international union control of the country, like a giant Congress of unions; and many other things. But, what remains consistant is that the revolution must be swift and no concessions can be given to the reactionary forces i.e Bezos, Musk, Trump, etc.
The people need to organize, plan, and put things into action. The reactionary classes will not cede their power, and the proletariat will not wait for the bourgeois to set them free when they feel like it; things must happen wether the masses feel like it or not. Those who fight in place of the reactionary, who defend the chains lain upon them, will hopefully realize that things can be better and we're not locked in by "human nature" or "greed."

This is what I see as an action plan. Power will not be ceded by the reactionary, so, we will not wait or bargain any longer; to do so would be foolish and exactly what they want.

2 Years Since October 7th

---

Today marks not only the WPK's anniversary, but October 7th's too. It has been two years since the retaliation, and it has also been two years of internationally allowed genocide. Israel has been okayed to kill tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians and injure hundreds of thousands.
Before, it just looked like a lot of "accidents"—some people killed during Israel's totally justified push-back against Hamas—but now it has become much more obvious to those who turned a blind eye before: Israel is using this to completely cleanse Palestine and genocide the Palestinian people.

What has happened since 2023? The complete history and the conflict has become more and more popular, especially online; people are more aware of the plight the Palestinian people face, thanks to those putting in the hours and time to get it out to people; those newer flotillas to Gaza and the tracking/eyes had on them, more people are aware of how Israel breaks international law and gets away with it; lastly, Israel has seen a major decline in support and a new wave of dislike never before seen, they are finally out in the spotlight and people know just what they are. That also means they have put their hasbara and bots into full action to fight against those spreading truth about the country.

There is currently a new peace deal between the US, Hamas, and Israel which seems to have been accepted by Trump. Trump called a ceasefire, and apparently Israel actually continued bombing well into the day after it was announced. Despite that, this could be the basis for further peace and an end to the aparthied ethnostate of Israel.
I don't know the progress on that since it's so new and I haven't been on top of it, for all I know right now Israel or whatever didn't like it and it's gone. But, I really hope some kind of progress can be made with it, even if just a little. I know all those European and American protests are going on, and I am hopeful it will change how some of these countries have been acting.

Greta Thunberg has been released for the second time and has told of her torture and the increase of death in Gaza. Israel is quite mad with her and took this opportunity to do something to her. It's just disgusting what they get away with; they will continue to get away with it until the US or other countries with power do something.

This is just a little reflection, nothing big. I wanted to glance over the past couple of years.

Governments do not represent the people

---

I don't mean all governments or governments in general; I specifically mean bourgeois governments. The West likes to flaunt this idea of "democracy." It's their greatest moral grandstand against its enemies. "You're not a democracy, your a rouge country that hates people"—is what they say.
But, the problem is, what do they even have? You can vote for some guy to do stuff. Is that it? If the only part of democracy you have is just voting, then you're really not a democracy; you're a representative society where you put all the power in the hands of electees and hope they do what you voted for them to do.

The US is especially guilty of this, and, it's also the worst offender for "democracy." Each and every vote is between 5 different bourgeois mouthpieces who probably won't do anything you want them to. This goes down to Congress too. You elect people who will represent you and they just piss it all away so they can do insider trading a follow bourgeois politics.
People didn't elect AOC so she would vote "yes" on sending more shit to Israel. People didn't vote Biden to not get student debt cancelled or continue bombing Palestine. Now, this is mainly my gripe with Democrats and liberals:—conservatives are very open about how horrible they are and plan to be—, liberals hide that they are bourgeois mouthpieces and allow the actions of the right in attempt to maintain the system we have. That's horrible.

A big recent example is those countries that rescinded their support for the Global Sumud Flotialla in support for that bullshit peace plan from Israel. The people of all those countries have been furiously protesting, workers at ports have gone on strike, but their government seems to think the opposite; they don't represent what the people think. UK's Keir Starmer is full Zionist and stupidly fumbles to defend Israel when people press him on it, he refuses to go against Israel; they don't represent what the people think. The US is the biggest funder and propagater of Israels genocide. People, day-in-day-out, are protesting it and asking Congress and the President to do something.
Then there's that whole NSPM-7 thing that is literally just fascism. They are going after leftist speech, politics, actions, etc. They do not represent the people at all.

We need to wake up and tear down this system that actively ignores and contradicts us every step of the way.

It's getting to a point

---

Things just keep getting worse. Governments going insane and just being as horrible as possible: instating ID tracking stuff, hiding important parts of the Declaration of Independence, sending out the Gestapo on brown people, etc. The US government is on a rampage against leftism, haven't heard that before, and are openly planning to go after all sorts of speech the government doesn't like. In NSPM-7 it says they will go after "anti-American speech, anti-Christian speech, and 'extreme views on race and immigration.'" And they've been talking about "Antifa" like it's an org. This is happening all so fast, they are hauling in fascism and control at an alarming rate.

I've begun to say that it's getting to a point that using the internet won't even be worh it. They're going to track you even more than they already do, especially if that UK ID bullshit makes it over here, and they will use everything they can to subjugate you. You don't think ICE should be kidnapping people, boom, you're in jail. I think, at some point, if it gets bad enough, I might just unplug my computer from WIFI and stop using it. Because it really won't be worth it to try and maintain leftist speech and contact in an ever-increasing pit of surveillance that will get you in trouble.

Things will have to go offline and into the real world. That's if everything goes according to their plan, which it probably will because Democrats and liberals are happy to keep the same system that continuously fucks them over; if not and things do get better, great, but that still means we need to make sure something like this never happens again. That will be done without the current US government and system.

Global Sumud Flotilla and Israel

---

Israel has been committing a genocide against the Palestinian people for just about 2 years now. This was preceded by decades of massacres, ethnic cleansing through land grabs, and general aparthied and colonialism. Even before the recent spree of killings there have been people sailing in flotillas to reach the people of Gaza and give them aid and food; give babies formula, people medical attention, etc. They do this because Israel doesn't. Israel has been containing the Palestinian people in an open-air prison where they control all inflow of food and medical aid. More recently, they have simply denied them food; they enacted a starvation in an attempt to genocide them even further.
This is why people have been on flotillas. In the past, Israel has intercepted, boarded, kidnapped, and hurt people trying to bring aid into Gaza. They have intercepted the two most recent ones, Freedom Flotilla and the Global Sumud Flotilla, kidnapped the people, and do not allow any of the food or aid to reach Gaza.

Not to mention the fact that every single time they have done this in international water. No flotilla has even reached Israel's waterspace before Israel declares action against them. And the crazy thing is how often Netenyahu has suggested violence against these people; unarmed people. A group of boats with food on them is enough to strike fear into the Israeli government. This also speaks to how disgusting and evil Israel truly is. They cannot even let a tiny bit of food into Gaza. Israel is so cocky and horrible that they are literally turning down the biggest PR hit they could recieve ever. "Israel lets a tiny bit of food into Gaza, look guys, they aren't that bad." But, no, they can't even do that; they wish death upon Palestinians so bad they can't even do that.

Greta Thunberg has been on the two most recent flotillas along with a bunch of other people. She has been getting the news out to the world, yet, nobody wants to listen.
I've seen all the hasbara against it. People want to claim it's some kind of booze-cruise where they're all happy, drunk, and wasting time. Hasbara claims it's a bunch of rich people wasting donation money to get attention. They are constantly moving attention away from their genocide to talk about how bad these people are. People are calling it a "Hamas-boat" because everything is somehow Hamas. That's another thing, I've seen how people switch between saying Palestinian and Hamas. They say Palestinian when Israel does something good, or when they are professing how badly they want to see them dead, and they say Hamas when they need to make a moral statement that makes them look better (it doesn't).

____

The most recent flotilla was just intercepted yesterday, in international waters again, but this time was kind of different. Multiple countries had pledged protection and sent ships out to meet with the flotilla. But at the last minute every single one pulled out and instead went on about this BS peace deal that Israel was proposing. "Stop the flotilla and we'll give food to Palestinian children" is essentially what it was. They PMs of multiple countries have asked the flotilla to drop their efforts, all while their country's citizens protested majorly in the streets. None of these governments represent a single bit of what their citizens want.
Things went from looking up, these countries are angry with Israel, they had pledged guidance to the flotilla, everybody walked out of the UN meeting, everything was falling right into place. Then these stupid countries immediately drop the ball and pull the worst PR stunt ever. It really goes to show how these governments really don't care about literal genocide when Israel's doing it, but throw out their back screaming about China at the behest of the US.

This is all going into the history books and these countries and people will forever be known as genocide supporters. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

There can be no Korean Reunification with US Interference
The People are My God

---

The issue of Korean reunification has been a long-standing one. While both countries want, and have wanted, reunification of the Korean peninsula, they seemingly can't. Now, some may explain it as the DPRK stalling and doesn't want to, or South Korea is doing whatever; I don't know. The biggest, most obvious problem is the US. The US drives such a massive wedge between the two, and the reasons are also very obvious.
The US set South Korea up as a sort of colony/subsidy-state that is essentially groomed to be an economic and industry powerhouse. They really wouldn't want to lose that in a reunification. South Korea also offers a major vantage point for the US; they get to settle right into the area and do whatever kind of recon they need. If they lost that, they wouldn't have as big a stranglehold on the region as they do.
Through that vantage point and economic colony, they also put their military and weapons in South Korea. This, not only, drives a wedge between the two sides, what with the US being able to threaten the DPRK through their airspace while also having all their weapons right behind them, it also gives more reason for the US to deny peace agreements. They stand to lose a lot in a reunification.
The US can't lose its foothold in Asia for its military and economy, and South Korea can't lose American subsidizing and military help.

The DPRK dropped hopes of reunification in 2024, dismantling all groups in relations to it. This comes after a long line of peace talks with the US about ending the war and reunifying, but, every time the US stipulates that they must drop their nuclear weapons and cease in producing them. And every time the DPRK says no because that's stupid. This sends the West into an uproar, despite them being the ones holding back peace and change. You can't just demand something crazy and insane only to then get mad when they say no. That's the definition of insanity.
This goes back to the US thinking they, righteously, get to be the global police and they get to demand insane things of others when they themselves can't even follow through with upholding their own laws. They, and their buddies, are the only ones who get to have nukes because nobody else can be trusted, even though they are the only country to have used them on people. So, this just constantly gets in the way of real change.

This is all not mentioning that the US was the reason the peninsula is split in the first place. In the '40s, during the throes of the Red Scare and the start of the Cold War, the US really wanted to limit the spread of communism. They dialed in on Korea, a place they hadn't paid much mind to when it was under Japanese imperial rule and begging for help, right when it was newly free and developing structure. They went in an destroyed any socialist groups, of which there were many, and split the country to cut off the USSR's influence. They installed Syngman Rhee, Korean Pol Pot if you ask me, who killed so many people during his reign.
They spent their time basically just killing people in the South because nobody wanted more colonial rule and people weren't content to just take what the US was doing. In the North they were developing society, trade, schools, industry, and military.
To cut a long story short, the North descended upon the South to reclaim it from Americans, the US got their UN buddies to utterly massacre, cripple, and destroy them, the war ends with help from China and the South is no better off. After being essentially genocided and crippled, the North immediately began rebuilding, all while the South lay stagnant and impoverished. After Syngman Rhee was ousted for basically being Hitler, the US started grooming and subsidizing the South to be what we know today.

Why would anyone want to work with and agree with the US after all that. "Yeah, give up your weapons and we'll totally be peaceful." The DPRK is smart not to fall for it and the South is held hostage by the US military and rich Koreans.

"My God is none other than the people. Only the popular masses are omniscient and omnipotent and almighty on earth. Therefore my lifetime motto is: 'The people are my God.'"

This quote reflects Kim Il Sung's view of governing. That one must listen to the people, they know all, they have eyes everywhere. Kim Il Sung was quite the people person; he would spend hours talking with the people, workers, children, etc. to find out just what to do. This calls back to his time in the anti-Japanese War as a general. He must talk to his troops to teach and learn.
Kim Il Sung criticized the USSR for its government mismanagement. He said that is was struggle for the top and that the remaining party did not listen to the people; only shared power amongst themselves. Kim Il Sung's methods guaranteed success in moving forward and developing the DPRK.
The quote also reflects his attitude in relation to Juche, the founding principle of the DPRK. Juche says that man is the master of his destiny and that change only comes through man's actions. Kim Il Sung listening to the people and follwing their feedback is what makes things work and change. This also comes after his reforms on education. He noticed there were too few intellectuals and college educated individuals to teach and continue the DPRK. Kim Il Sung spent much of his time on this, because an educated people will make better and better decisions. It also appears in the Workers Party eblem. The typical hammer and sickly, but, with an added brush to represent intellectuals.
