I find this defense of the miserable regime in NK depressing and puzzling. I sort of expect it from Charles, who really _is_ a Stalinist, but Yoshie and now you, I don't get it. What happened to independent socialism? Frankly, if NK is what we have to hang our hat on, the other side has won and ought to win.

CB: Well, I am glad you are depressed. Hope it gets worse.
I am a Leninist. I'm not a follower of Stalin, but anti-communists tend to exaggerate his crimes (a la Brad D.) and attribute everything wrong with every Communist state to him. Also, everything he did was not a crime or an error.
I just read a post by you where you say you are a Liberal. The crimes of liberals in history far outway the crimes of Stalin.
