Meanwhile, the Collective West, that bastion of moral guidance, has ignored the illegal (terroristic) attack on Iran by the US and Israel – and instead has blamed Iran for ‘bringing the problem upon itself’ by a) existing and b) insisting upon exercising self-determination – thus compounding the situation.

North Korea is battling with the contradiction that its soldiers have died fighting for a capitalist Russia in Kursk (how does this fit in with Juche) – whilst the Communist Party of China is grappling with the paradox of how building capitalist market forces reconciles with constructing a new society premised upon the auspices of Scientific Socialism.
