Support for the CPC isn’t dumb at all, they are clearly one of the most competent political organizations on the planet and lifted 800 million people from poverty, governing the world’s largest economy by PPP. As for the DPRK, nobody has a “boner” for it, people support its struggle for similar reasons people support Cuba: they are socialist countries that have achieved remarkable results despite intense sanctions thanks to their systems.
Lemmy has a lot of communists, and communists tend to be sympathetic towards existing socialism. This isn’t particularly complicated.
