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:
The Chinese dragon with its economic and political resources is claiming what it believes to be its rightful place, including at the heart of Europe.
The truth is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 was only the formal declaration of a war that had been going on for years between the US-NATO-EU powers, which are using Ukraine as their spearhead, and capitalist Russia, which is being utilized as China’s cushion in the latter’s acute conflict with the USA over supremacy in the imperialist system.
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.
