North Korea has also taken steps to strengthen the so-called “free economic zones”, the “market”, where the Workers’ Party of Korea for several years has rejected Marxism-Leninism, promotes the idealistic theory “Juche”, talks about “Kimilsugism - Kimgyongilism”, violating every concept of socialist democracy, workers’ people’s control, within a regime of nepotism.

I read the article from KKE and thought maybe they changed their mind as it was published in 2010, then I went to their homepage and saw this: https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/On-the-war-in-Ukraine-and-Chinas-proposals-for-peace/. This is the last line:
Welp. KKE’s bought and paid for, huh?
I find the concept of Russia being China’s “cushion” just… it’s just such interesting alt-history. China is using Russia as a buffer against the U.S. in their inter-imperialist conflict over Ukraine. Fascinating stuff.
Russia must have become significantly smaller and weaker when I wasn’t looking, since it somehow became a Chinese satellite state hellbent on furthering Beijing’s imperial agenda.
I knew they’d keep taking massive Ls after they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on supporting tailist homophobic garbage.
