"Speed"

We are still struggling to recover from the coup, and now we have to worry about revolutions as well? When will I be able to find a job in this chaotic country? https://n.news.naver.com/article/015/0005085978?sid=102

How touching. ( I must clarify that I don’t necessarily support the Mensheviks of that era. )

First time learning the definition of Soviet 😳

I understand that it sounds beautiful as an ideal, but in reality, revolutionizing the power structure is a complex and sophisticated endeavor. The architect of society must possess a profound understanding of the system to successfully achieve Lenin’s vision.

This ā€œrevolutionā€ appears more like people’s vengeful expression towards the bourgeoisie, manifested in their fervent passion for social justice. If you genuinely want to restructure society to achieve an ideal, you must comprehend that such change doesn’t occur overnight. It demands devotion, perseverance, and a commitment to collaborate with diverse individuals who share your vision.

Tovarishch! I’ve witnessed many Korean people who adore this word and its significance. They harbor a fantasy about a social hierarchy that we don’t truly possess. However, it’s amusing that these individuals also crave power when they become leaders or members of the ruling class. I once held this ideal when I was in my 20s, but I’ve witnessed numerous people who fail to live up to their aspirations. Their words are hollow because they can’t even control their own desires. These empty words and promises are repeated patterns of leaders who claim to have dedicated their lives to revolutions. If you can’t control your own desires and impulses, how on earth are you going to fulfill such ideals and transform the world?

LOL It’s ironic that they wanted to build a socialist country but relied on one of the most luxurious capitalistic items they could sell for capital sourcing. This reminds me of the DPRK military, which is primarily mobilized for the export of blueberries.

So, to clarify, you intend to achieve your socialist ideal by establishing your nation as a socialist country, yet you still require your capitalist adversaries to sell the products with the highest demand? Is this a right? You detest them for their corruption and their relentless pursuit of wealth, yet you still need their financial resources?

Call me naĆÆve, but I know as an idealist I will rather perish with my people than compromise my principles to my adversaries. No matter how many excuses you concoct to justify your poor choices, you cannot use any rhetoric to justify this compromise. You have two options: accept reality or continue deceiving yourself and everyone else. Don’t flatter yourself by calling yourself an idealist when your ideal has become obsolete. A more appropriate term would be ā€œfailed idealist.ā€

People love embellishing these kinds of narratives with various linguistic embellishments. I find it quite repulsive how they employ language to merely conceal their poor choices. It’s akin to attempting to conceal your ugly heart with thick foundations, eyeshadows, and blushes to merely appear attractive on the surface.

態態態態態態態 Korean style of addressing serious issues in a less heavy-handed way

By the way, I wasn’t contemplating the amount of time that has elapsed since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Russia-Ukraine conflict appears to be a far more intricate issue than I had anticipated… hmm. History is just an ongoing process... https://www.dsausa.org/democratic-left/what-is-the-european-left-saying-about-the-ukraine-war/
