U.S. Officials Are Investigating North Korea in Sony Movie Hack

None the less, besides the idiotic debate if the DPRK is a socialist state.... The DPRK has officially denied that they had anything to do with the recent Sony movie hacking incident: North Korea denies hacking Sony Pictures | Technology | The Guardian

From your article:

"North Korea’s ambassador to the UN, Ja Song-nam, called the film “the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war”, in a letter to the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon."

You just can't buy that kind of advertising.
 
Not all Socialists are Marxists, but all Marxists are socialists.

Socialists believe in the tenets of marxism, in fact the reason I use the term Marxism is to cover bases over all the various types of marxist fail. I find too many socialists were scattering off to hide in the shadows when I called them socialists, but interestingly many openly admit to being called marxist. Look for it here on the forum. Perhaps you might learn a thing or two about how you are perceived by others. Im here to help.

He's better than Baghdad Bob!
 
Investigating North Korea... hmmm.

Assuming we find something to suggest North Korea did it, what are we going to do? Use harsh language?

You know, you're alright for a Libertarian. That **** made me laugh so loudly, my damn dog woke up.

You literally make up **** as you go.
 
Its not how WE feel about it, its how they do-and they think they are good little marxists.

It's how they do? There is nothing in Marxism about being a hermit state. With that aside... so it doesn't matter what they actually are... it's what they describe themselves as? Eh... alright fine. They also describe their country as a Democratic Republic... do you believe that makes them one?
 
1.)How do you know that we have not done that in the past? The DPRK never reprots news that is negative about them?
2.)A massive scansions and embargo against their country which helps casue their economy to be **** is not enought?
3.)Wanna look at what is right past their border?

But I forgot: **** OBAMA! *****!

You forgot Obama is an idiot.

Objectively, yes. Democracy in Marxism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Democratic Marxism is authentic Marxism—the Marxism which emphasizes the necessity for revolutionary action. Loyalty to the movement, not loyalty to any particular doctrine, is characteristic of the orthodox democratic Marxist."
page 45 The new democratic theory - Kenneth A. Megill - Google Books
 
Democracy can exist in marxism,

Democracy is a system for choosing leaders not an economic system (Marxism). They believe they've got a Democratic Republic just like ours. Do they?

its not mutually exclusive. And no, we are not just like them.

Ummm you just said we have to take them for what they say and believe. They believe they have a Democratic Republic just like ours. They believe they have no human rights violations. Does your logic apply here and we're only to consider what they say and feel and not how we feel about it when it's convenient for you?

As I said, they can call themselves that (democratic, republic, democratic republic), and its not contradictory with marxism. Whats hard to understand here?

So then they are a Democratic Republic, just like us? Or are they difference because what they do does not correspond to what they say? :)

Lets try it again (last time)-they can be absolute marxists and still be a democratic republic. Read that several times, I know you can do it if you apply yourself.

Hatuey, Ive already explained this.

Uh, no you haven't I asked you to demonstrate the reasons they're not like us and you pointed to their economic system. The thing is that an Democratic Republic has nothing to do with the country's economic system (supposedly, Marxism - in actuality: Juche) However, I'm waiting for you to dig into the differences and demonstrate that what they do is far more relevant than what they say. ;)

:lol: You were the one who brought up being a democratic republic, in response to me mentioning that it matters what they think they are. Prior to that we had been discussing Marxism (before your diversion). You are all over the place-as of now you are being a time burglar.
