Before discovering this community, I was in a different community that proudly calls itself leftist. I posted a documentary; Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang which was very eye-opening for me.
Anyway, posting that started to really upset people, saying that the documentary is PSL propaganda. That PSL is authoritarian, backed by a Chinese Maoist billionaire and that PSL is riddled with sex abuse scandals. That of course PSL would simp for DPRK because it’s authoritarian. I was even called a holocaust denier for defending DPRK.
So is PSL bad? Where can I find better information on this? I’ve already tried looking into PSL and it all seems okay? The sex abuse scandals I am not sure about, is there more information on this? Am I being too critical on this?
If you have researched and found nothing to back up any negative claims, there is a better than even chance it’s probably bot bullshit. Any organization even vaguely rubbing elbows with socialism, will come under attack. The Epstein Class goes after the DSA for being leftist and portray AOC as the next Lenin. I’m an SEP person myself and they come under the negative attacks.
I agree. The reason why I still feel the need to ask this is because I don’t know if I researched enough. I am extremely new to all of this, to ML-theory, to materialism.
I’m confident the the people deriding you are:
-50% bots
-25% class enemies acting in bad faith
-24% people who have gotten duped by the above
-1% Ted Danson
The people who were deriding me called the commenters in the documentary “russian bots” because they used the word “westoid”.
