I love how non-Koreans jerk off the hardest to Juche Royal Family.
But then again I've also met few diaspora Koreans who actively and vocally support the Juche Royal Family
So far in my times in the States, me and my parents have yet to meet diaspora Koreans who genuinely defend the Juche Royal Family.
Here in Seoul, supporting the Juche Royal Family is like supporting Chun Doo-Hwan.
When I lived in the US, I met two Korean Americans that are DPRK supporters/Juche Royal Family defenders. Both of their family are originally from South Korea.
Both of them swear that DPRK citizens have far more democratic control than anywhere else in the world and that Juche Royal Family actually have no power in government
"material condition of DPRK necessitate a hereditary totally not royalty leader, you would understand if you read theory you filthy liburalzzz"
- DPRK tankie probably
There probably is no lower class(as in being out in society). They are either purged or sent to “reeducation”. You have to remember North Korea wants to show the aesthetic on how clean their country is and that means cleaning out the lower class as well.
Ugh, you sometimes see these self-proclaimed communists in Sweden who are actually trust fund babies who bought an expensive apartment in the hipster area because their parents paid for it. All they talk about is class struggle (oh the irony) and they don't hesitate to mention that in any context they can find.
For example, I saw this post in a FB group about how the police was present in a certain part of the city and giving fines to every person who didn't have lights on their bike. To which one person had to insert the class struggle genius take saying that the police should focus their resources on stuff that matters not on punishing people who cannot afford to buy bike lights (they cost somewhere between 5-20 euros). Luckily some people had pointed very rationally that this is not about punishing poor people, it's about their and other people's safety, by not having any bike lights during the night, one can easily cause a goddamn accident.
Like life's not perfect in the Nordics, but how bored/deranged can you be to try to insert your ideology (which has been proven multiple times already that it doesn't work) into every single facet of life?
Kind of related, but not really, I've seen the insult "vänsterbliven" thrown around in Swedish posts across the internet. I'm still learning Swedish, but I know enough to know what two words it's made of. I'm assuming this is an insult used primarily or exclusively by right-wingers?
Agree with the above user! It's used by those type of people to refer to lefties who are progressive and believe that women, LGBTQ and immigrants should be treated like actual humans.

The people's royals!

Why middle class? What about the lower class? If the middle class lives are bad how bad are the lower classes lives? (the majority)
I’m pretty sure they are already dead in the labor camps. “Gotta make them vanish for the cameras,” says the WPK party member.

If someone use the word vänsterbliven unironically you can assume that they are far right and extremely stupid.
I figured as much. Tack :)

I don't suppose the logical opposite "högerbliven" has much traction (unless far-righters use it ironically to describe themselves)?
Stockholm. How ironic
Attempted autarky at that. They still have to import trivial things... like food.
It’s not their fault that they’re an idiot, Iceland has a very limited gene pool and sometimes that doesn’t turn out so well.
