North Korea carries out public executions on river banks and at school grounds and marketplaces for charges such as stealing copper from factory machines, distributing media from South Korea and prostitution, a report issued on Wednesday said.
Non binary communist person from a third world country here. I don’t have a degree on gender studies but I have read a couple of books on feminism plus I have friends AFK that are gay/lesbian/trans/etc, therefore I have had a plethora of conversations regarding these topics.
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize these countries for not having that many queer people in positions of power, you need to understand that they are countries with deep scars due to imperialist invasions that just now are starting to see what one could say is a more or less decent life, and in all those years when these countries where recovering from these scars, queer people are the ones who suffered the most. Their societies, just like pretty much any society in the world after colonization, have/had to different degrees patriarchal frameworks that enabled men to go higher in any social strata, that means anything non male will have a hard time getting anywhere, which means less non male professionals. This is true for every country in the world, not only communists ones. In my country there are barely any laws that try to prevent women from being forced on housekeeping jobs, either because they have to do it for their families or because employers only hire male people. Cut them some slack, it’s not as if there weren’t any queer movements in those countries, also, China for example has some pretty decent laws in women’s rights, but simply because it is not equal to any first world country doesn’t mean they’re hell, and trying to eradicate communism from those countries simply because of that will not help that fight, but will make it worse.
