I do not know of one socialist country, as socialism and capitalism can not exist at the same time. You could say north koreanis a dictatorship of the proletariat, but that would be incorrect.

Socialism resides entirely in the revolutionary negation of the capitalist ENTERPRISE, not in granting the enterprise to the factory workers.

"Chinese Maoists in Korea(N)" (!!)
although im not a Maoist and i believe that Maoists have turned thoughts of Mao into a dogma, i admit that they are struggling for a revolution in present day China and north Korea.
internationally, Maoists were represented by Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) which had clear and definite positions against governments of China and north Korea.
anyone who supports such regimes is neither Maoist nor any kind of leftist at all.

I'd still like you to provide evidence that North Korea is socialist. Pony up.

Funny how nobody mentioned the seemingly patriarchal language of the DPRK apologists in that article:
Gotta love those "pure maidens" (I wonder what that refers to ...)
Socialist Party of Outer Space
Ha ha. I see you are the real dogmatists, right?
What is Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) ?I do not care. We Chinese Communists do not care.
Anyway, we Chinese Communists think the DPRK is a socialist country. We do not need those West Trotskyites irresponsible remarks under the "Maoism" banner .
And. Cuban Communist Party, the All India Front, Communist Party of Brazil, Communist Party of Australia, Ireland and other countries Communist Workers Party supported the socialist Korea.
I can imagine, coming out of the PR, why the DPRK might appear appealing - after all, at this point, the PR looks like the worst of both worlds: the political repression of dictatorship, and the blatant selling off of the country to capitalists.
I don't mean that as a defense of the DPRK - I just think I can see why their pretenses of resisting global capitalism might be appealing.
The life we have conferred upon these objects confronts us as something hostile and alien.

'Communist' Party of Brazil is a complete freaking joke. A bad freaking joke. Not only are they puppets of the federal government, they act vigorously against strikes and in favor of land-lords and capitalists in general. Let's just say that they take part in a government that has just killed two striking teachers, not to mention systematic killing of poor people.
Will not begin to address how their youth act among students.
Funny enough, they are crazyass tankies too. I'd be more than worried to have them as allies. Just saying.
"We have seen: a social revolution possesses a total point of view because – even if it is confined to only one factory district – it represents a protest by man against a dehumanized life" - Marx
"But to push ahead to the victory of socialism we need a strong, activist, educated proletariat, and masses whose power lies in intellectual culture as well as numbers." - Luxemburg

*sigh*. No, what it demonstrates is what it demonstrates: namely that under Mao the Chinese constitution guaranteed those freedoms, and under Deng the Chinese constitution did not. Saying that therefore the Maoist regime allowed for more 'civil liberties' does not follow from that premise. Arguing along those lines I can say that slavery never existed in the United States because the constitution declared all men to be equal, which would contradict all historical accounts, as does your claim.
It's sad how "communism", originally referring to a society based on freely associated equals, can now be abused by bourgeois thugs such as yourself to uphold systems that are the opposite of communism.
pew pew pew
all of these parties were regarded as counter revolutionaries during Mao's era. revolutionary China supported those communists who broke away from these parties and likes of them in 1960s. but they are friends right now. what has changed during this period? have they become revolutionary or has China adopted a reactionary policy?
a true communist supports Chinese workers struggle against their bourgeois government and also exposes government of North Korea and these reactionary parties but you are welcoming their support!
You know that?Because I search for info about the issue and I cant find any. You seem to know stuff about it.
