Even among leftists, the AES countries are a sore subject. Most leftcoms, libcoms, trots, hoxhaists, and maoists are critical of places like the DPRK (if they don’t just outright reject them in their entirety.)

You also have to prove you make 2x rent, sometimes 3x rent in order to actually qualify for an apartment (alot of us create fake paystubs for this) :)

We also will have a deposit that is usually 2-3x rent that we are supposed to get back when we move out. However every time this happens the landlords conveniently find damage to the property that didn’t exist the day you moved out so you don’t ever get that money back (or if you do, you only get 25-50% of it). :)

At the place I just moved out of, there was a roach infestation that the landlords refused to hire a pro to take care of that got entirely out of hand. They are holding my deposit for this. :)

You also aren’t allowed to have anyone stay over longer than 3 days if they aren’t on the lease without prior approval from the landlord. :)

Edit: Sometimes people have to get renters insurance too. :)

As long as it looks good, whatever.

The best thing you can do is just never center white people. 99.999% of the time that’s the wrong way to frame your argument.

I fully understood what you were trying to say, but I can’t say the responses you got are at all that surprising either.

In the extremely unlikely event that indigenous people got direct executive control over what happens in the continental united states, I don’t think they’d even want the mass exodus of all white people. Nor do I think they’d want full cultural assimilation. My entire life, the prevailing narrative has always just been the end of systemic oppression. Very frequently I’ve heard indigenous rights activists demand the free use of/free travel across land for things like hunting, which is a pretty small ask. Just because this or that action would be justified, doesn’t mean it’s the action people want. IMO the second minority ethnic groups feel safe and represented these kinds of mass exodus narratives will fade away. Doubly so if there was a transition to socialism that went with it, and some thought went into identifying the different national identities (so something akin to a soviet of nationalities could be formed).

Yeah after a good bit of my own investigation, they just seem on par with any other poor country. Not something I’m going to worship, but not something I’m going to spend time complaining about either.
