Hello, I have been studying communism for a few years and have not touched the surface. Perhaps I could find some good info here. I study the DPRK specifically, but I am interested in other regimes.

Lastly, Soviet architecture is very interesting as well from the simple apartments to the massive government buildings.

So, if you see me asking dumb questions, you now know why. :cool:

I suppose that stuff could be interesting but what has it got to do with communism?

Nothing. However, economics do.

No, it does not. It resembles feudalism than communism.

Keep in mind, the USSR, China, and the DPRK aren't the be-all and end-all of communist thought. :)

Economic theory. At the moment, I am looking at the bottom-up marketization of the economy in the DPRK.

Also, I am looking at trade and currency in current and former socialist states. While it is kind of unclear still, I think I have some idea on how it works.
