Online arguments and debates rarely result in any real change of opinion. You have to organize to come up with the issue you want to tackle, then agitate people using their grievances and then, once they admit change is needed, you have to educate them on the communist solution.

There are no methods of anti-colonial struggle that the colonizer finds acceptable. When they chastise us for supporting "violent" liberation struggles, it's not because they would tolerate a "non-violent" struggle, but because a truly non-violent struggle doesn't make headlines, doesn't challenge their power, and can easily be ignored and thwarted.

The bourgeoisie recognizes that pacifism isn't necessarily non-violent, either. Any "non-violent" struggle that measurably challenges bourgeois rule is still a form of violence against the ruling class and will be subdued with force and subversion. This applies to union struggles, to direct action, to anything that weakens the capitalist rule over society.

The only pacifism the ruling class tolerates is the pacifism of passive compliance, which in turn enables violence against the oppressed.

So, since violence is the inevitable outcome, we have to choose for which side we will leverage that violence:

Oppressed, or oppressor.

Liberation or occupation.

It’s not considered political violence to dehumanize people until they’re so ostracized by society that they take their own lives. It’s not considered political violence to make policy choices to intentionally kill people by depriving them of life saving healthcare.

It’s not considered political violence to round up people and put them in concentration camps. It’s not considered political violence to fund ethnic cleansing and genocide. Very interesting what’s considered political violence and deemed unacceptable.

It definitely isn't considered political violence to annihilate the only housing that people have and push them even further into the cycle of poverty and destitution. Or to host certain people on a podcast and talk about how trans people are evil.

Seizing vulnerable women and abusing them in detention camps? Killing people by ending their life saving medical treatments? Not giving people medications in detention centers?

But sure political violence now has gone too far…

When you see politicians condemning the Kirk shooting as political violence, you have to remember that all state violence is political violence and that politicians love that shit as long as it serves capital and imperialism.

The reaction is especially strong because the ruling class is desperate to maintain the state monopoly on violence. That is why any less-than-non-violent protest is crushed with overwhelming force. The masses cannot be allowed to learn to demand change, instead of begging politicians to maybe, potentially, improve their lives a bit.

This illustrates how vastly different the masses and the ruling class view the world. Politicians and capitalists do not perceive violence against everyday people, be it forms of social murder, constant mass shootings, genocides, things of that nature, because it is happening to a different class, the oppression of which is the basis of their rule. Whenever a politician, a capitalist or a media spokesperson for one or the other section of the ruling class faces consequences, that's when they get scared.

They are fine with killing us or watching us kill each other, but don't you dare to even think about using force against them. The capitalist ruling class already has class solidarity, the state being this solidarity's primary manifestation. The working class and oppressed people need to understand this and create their own version of this tool: A state that oppresses their oppressors and does away with the ruling class's monopoly on violence once and for all.

This is why we cannot advocate for what we would call adventurism – individual acts of terror and violence. The sort of sweeping changes we need can only be achieved through coordinated, directed mass action of the oppressed classes, led by a party willing and capable of rallying the people. Individual acts of adventurism don't change the system, but they harm it in ways that increasingly make the ruling class more receptive to fascism, which promises to restore order by means even more barbaric than those of liberal democracy.

The answer is, as always: Organize. Become a communist. Struggle for a world free of oppression. It's the only way out.

now I know westerners actively go out of their way to refuse to see north koreans as humans but I think fear mongering about a child who went with her dad for what was essentiallt bring your daughter to work day is just another kind of deplorable

The Telegraph released that article one day prior to a huge revelation by the New York Times, who reported that in 2019 the Trump administration launched a covert SEAL Team 6 mission into the DPRK to plant listening devices meant to spy on Kim Jong Un. The mission failed, and they killed multiple civilians in cold blood to cover their tracks.

The Trump administration never disclosed this mission to the Congress committees tasked with overseeing military and intelligence operations. The article also points out that many of those involved in that mission were promoted.

North Korea isn't the bad guy. They are trying to defend themselves from a belligerent empire that has already killed 20% of its population at one time and has have been trying to recolonize them ever since. Do not fall for these attempt by the West to manufacture consent for further violence against the people of Korea. The North Korean government isn't the oppressor of the Korean people, the United States and the imperialist bloc are.
