  • Most of the time any “anti-revisionist” that denounces the DPRK will also denounce Cuba. There are some that support the DPRK but not Cuba because Cuba is much laxer with markets than the DPRK. Since Cuba’s industry isn’t as self-sufficient as the DPRK’s, the economy requires markets for foreign investment and to fill the gaps of the state sector. This alone will turn many “anti-revisionists” away from even critical support of Cuba. DPRK’s markets meanwhile were much more limited in scope; in my personal experience if a Maoist is calling the DPRK revisionist it’s mostly due to the Juche ideology rather than the markets.

  • The Saddam supporters have the worst cognitive dissonance possible… I’ve heard some of them claim that the missiles Iraqi militias sent on US military bases earlier this year were somehow empty. Now they’re claiming that Iran and Israel are best friends and just staging stuff to trick people. Some have called out that “Iran notified the US of the attack therefore it’s fake and staged” ignoring that Iran is notifying UNSC members to comply with article 51 of the UN Charter (Right to Self-Defense). By invoking the charter, Iran is playing their attacks in a calm and calculated way, harming Israel but not starting WW3. Saddam supporters are just mad because Iran won’t be like Saddam and just blindly shoot Scuds over Israel while achieving no political gains other than making themselves look “based” to clueless idiots.
