They are not really commies. But I’d guess you know that.

Edit: In case it’s not clear, I strenuously object to the use of “commie” as a pejorative, particularly when it makes no sense whatsoever.

I honestly don’t know what they are. I doubt they do.

Have you ever tried asking?

The term you’re looking for is Marxist-Leninist. It is by far the largest communist ideology in the world.

I think they are a new definition to be honest. Is authoritarian one?

Totalitarian. The specific flavor is Juche. It started as an ostensible offshoot of Marxist-Leninist ideology, and then became whatever the ruling family wanted it to become as time went on. By now, its essentially just a cult of personality/deification ideology around Kim jong un.

North Korea is absolutely not socialist or communist in any meaningful sense.

Auth left, where the state plays the part as the capitalist and it’s citizens are human resources to be managed.

Hasn’t Auth left and Auth right had enough time leading the world? (All of human history)

Only officially. Which sounds like a smart ass response but it’s not.

If US recognized Taiwan as its own country it would lose a major trading partner, affect global stability and trade… and do not much else. We know why warships are there, military bases in close proximity, bilateral exercises take place - but officially sure, you own them.

It’s so incredibly short sighted. It’s like your neighbor asking to borrow your hose because his garage is on fire, and saying no because it costs water and doesn’t directly help you. Not only is that going to mean your neighbor is never, ever going to help you with anything, but if that garage fire turns into a raging house fire, your house might go down too.

I wouldn’t expect Biden to either, if China actually went for it.

There’s only a handful of places who even recognise Taiwan as a country, and Paraguay sure ain’t coming to the rescue of nVidia’s share price if it kicks off.

Yes America will, he just hasn’t been told how the US economy would collapse without Taiwanese semiconductors yet. Taiwan will not let China take the fabs intact, it’s their insurance forcing the west to help them.

He’s perfectly okay collapsing the economy as long as he and a few rich friends make it out with more in the short term.

Just depends on if Taiwan or China gives him the bigger kickback.

Kickback sound nefarious and non-official. Call it a reward for official services. That’d make it completely legal per the SCOTUS ruling

Nah, Russia is Trump’s true love. He doesn’t care if China benefits, as long as it weakens the US, because that is what benefits Russia.

He doesn’t need to make a decision or get a kickback. Russia has already provided for his every need; a massive publicity campaign that is ongoing, unlimited money in the form of crooked bank lending and sweetheart real estate deals. He gets Russian intelligence on whatever might threaten him or enrich him.

He saw the Russian oligarchy in which a handful of cutthroat dogs control everything and can do whatever they want, and fell in love.

Trump is a literal traitor, if it destroys the US then it’s a good thing to him.
