Apart from the obvious (Capybara, because they are chill, friends with everyone and are communists) I wouldn't mind being a House Gecko - Squatting in rich beachfront properties, hanging out on ceilings, eating bugs and fruits, freaking out suburban homeowners by dropping on their faces in the middle of the night, sounds like a pretty cool life

I won't be posting my own site here for opsec reasons, but I've met a fair amount of fellow commies and anarchists in the 5 years I've used neocities. It's not really social media, but there's a small community and one of the most frequented sites there has a bunch of marxist 101 resources which is pretty neat

However, according to the Federal Reserve's 2022 household financial analysis, if calculated by median net worth, each household is at $192,000, which means half of the households have a net worth below $192,000.

1. What is the general attitude in DPRK with regards to comics, animation, folk tales? Are they mainly seen as vehicles only to show morality to children, or are they seen more as applicable to a wider audience and acceptable for adults to partake in? I'm aware of The Boy General / 소년장수 being popular among both adults and children, but I was unsure if that was just an exception to the rule or not.

2. Are there any aspects of other AES countries that you would like to see implemented in DPRK in the future? e.g. infrastructure, transport etc.

3. Childcare in America and other western capitalist countries is very expensive. What is childcare like in DPRK? Do children have free school meals (and if so what is included?), textbooks, uniforms etc.? Do you have to pay a fee at all, or is everything provided by the government? I've heard it's the latter with regards to textbooks and uniforms, but I'd really like some confirmation.

I can't recommend BANANA FISH enough, though the original manga is more explicitly Marxist with regards to its criticisms of the US government and its anti-communist actions in Europe and Asia throughout the Cold War. The main villains are the Corsican Mafia (and their creation by the CIA as part of Operation Gladio), and the CIA (with its imperialist involvement in Vietnam). The anime modernized it by changing it to the Iraq War rather than the Vietnam War, so not everything makes sense from a materialist point of view in that version, but it's still definitely worth a watch. Heavy trigger warnings for mentions of child abuse (not explicitly shown, but the show doesn't tiptoe around the fact that the CIA and FBI used and groomed vulnerable populations for their experiments), drug abuse, trafficking, brainwashing, basically everything the CIA was and still is up to.

Only the original Nicktoons version. The Disney version made him a class traitor and I can never forgive them for doing that

PokéROMs were a weird shape, like oval but with straight sides? They had a promotion in 2000 where they came free as a cereal prize iirc.
