I know we're getting deep in the meta discussion but the free will that you're describing involves basically starving to death. Sure, you can walk away but unless you're well off, we all basically live in the same society that makes sure you are ALWAYS dependent on some kind of wage. You cannot live off the land, build housing, or eat food without some kind of income in the modern world. And thus the concept of wage slave.

You’ll lose your health insurance

And now you've gotten to the crux of the problem either and pointed it out yourself. Either submit to the USA or be punished, lots of communist countries did some like North Korea or Cuba (or in Cuba's case they did just to have Trump destroy it for the Miami gusano demographic and Marco Rubios insane dream of being president of Cuba) don't want to and they suffer for it. Why should a nations sovereignty and welfare hinge on its willingness to cooperate with the United States? I also just want to point out that your shitty fascist vice president has threatened to other throw various European governments and install right wing dictatorships here.

Anyways my ability to comment has been throttled because apparently I'm posting to fast. Meanwhile you've made several posts in a much shorter timeframe. So I'm not going to bother replying anymore, so much for free speech aye? God Bless America.

I don’t think you know what “communist standards” means.

> “North Korea is economically isolated because they refuse to be normal even by communist standards.”

“Kim is isolated because she refuses to be normal like the other submissive housewives beaten by their husbands”

You are blaming the victim while acting like the aggressor oppressors actions are not their own responsibility.

> Do I have to remind you that a South Korean attempted a fascist coup recently and that it was left wing organisations and trade unions that mobilised to stop him?

Those "left wing organizations" encompass the majority of South Korea, almost 2/3 of the current parliament, and the current sitting government. And may I remind you that South Korea's current "leftist" president recently gifted Trump a golden crown to get favorable deals?

He's about as leftist as Joe Biden.

> Do I have to remind you that a South Korean attempted a fascist coup recently

By "fascist", I suppose you mean right-wing. Going by the average RW authoritarian dictatorship, that's still better than the documented NK conditions, specially given that most fall later.

> ...[...] and that it left wing organizations and trade unions that mobilized to stop him?

Nice cherry picking. Even Yoon's own party turned against him. But even ignoring the right wing here, said left wing organizations are also in opposition to NK.

> You do realize that the United States is a one party state when it comes to foreign policy right?

That sentence doesn't make sense. There's no such thing as "one party state foreign policy". The idea of a one party state is specifically about a state that is intolerant to any other ideas other than those accepted by the one true party. If you are referring to USA's aggressiveness, may I remind you that that switches between presidents.

> If you love freedom so much shouldn't this be worrying more?

Whataboutism.

Those scholars are blowhards. Trump is basically the same as any other time. As you state the US is unipolar in how it treats Others. Aka authoritarian.

Blowback was great I should finish that season.

While one could scrutinize the accuracy the of the west being a dictatorship (which will likely devolve into a discussion of semantics), I prefer to call attention to the fact that calling North Korea a dictatorship does not require to speak well of the west. Likewise, one can simultaneously criticize the west without protecting its "enemies". Such a binary, poorly critical, way of thinking is ill-suited in pursuing better material conditions for all.
