not that china is actually socialist. or communist. just another authoritarian imperialist state, decaying into fascism, starting at a slightly different angle than america.
thought to pass the time: is the dkrp a conservative (small-r) republican state?

i don't know much about this stuff. i don't know. That's juche or something, right? i generally avoid applying american templates to non-american states

obviously, with the exception of china... and that's largely because chinese history is of some interest to me, and having spent a lot of time in wacko leftist spaces, the tankies always roll in at some point, so you get familiar with the general concepts i guess.

like the extent of my chinese history is that famous book by some literal nazi dude which is on project gutenberg and then that 36 hour or so great courses thing on audible. notably, neither author is chinese.

also, the holes in my brain don't allow for super duper recall

Would you describe them as (r) republicans?

Would you describe their economics as liberal?

i would describe both liberals and republicans generally as neoliberal capitalists

and the chinese as... whatever xi said. socialism with chinese characteristics. dengism. state-driven centrally planned capitalism with a socialist coat of paint. liberal insofar as some outgroups get rights but not others. women may have some rights in china but i imagine it's tough to be gay. no idea about trans folks in china. ive never set foot in china.

most of the few things i know about china are the things that led to the days of mao, not what happened afterwards. i see people saying "actually The Great Leap Forward was good" and i know i'm talking with a large baby

Hey Rob, did you get a rainbow-color cast or is it plain white?

i don't get this joke. i am in typical physical health, with no broken anything. this isn't why i am here. maybe you're trying to set up a joke. i've never even had a cast even as a kid when i broke my pinky. they put an aluminum bendy sleeve on it and wrapped it with tape.
