This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES anarchism, Gonzaloism, etc.)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

Do you have examples? I'm genuinely curious, never heard about DPRK's film industry
A couple (I've watched way more of these than I care to admit):
The Country I Saw (1987) About a cynical Japanese journalist, suffering from PTSD because of his experiences as an attaché during World War II. He visits to the DPRK and meets some of the people he saved from Japanese troops during the war.
Myself in the Distant Future (1997) Kind of a socialist rom-com? But better than it sounds. About a spoiled, directionless young man from Pyongyang who falls in love with a girl from a construction shock brigade.
Story of Our Home (2016) Coming-of-age story, but different from western ones: growing up means you learn to accept help from the community.
Traffic Controller at Crossroads (1987) Female traffic cop in Pyongyang, and her interactions with various people on her street. Quite cool to see a film portraying close friendships between men and women that aren't necessarily sexual or romantic.
Bear in mind, all these are filmed very much like Soviet movies during the 1970s. So the style takes a little bit of getting used to. I hated it at first; now I prefer it to western styles.
