I think it is a very natural reaction to feel inclined towards uncritical acceptance of non-western political narratives in response to disillusionment with what you know of the world being exposed as western propaganda. It is important, however, not to take recognition of western disinformation as immunity to propaganda. Disillusionment with one narrative is not evidence of another.

One of the most clear examples of this is with leftists that rightfully point out the sensationalism of western narratives about North Korea, but who ultimately end up pedalling the equally sensationalized and misleading state propaganda of North Korea.

We can do better than that. Leftism grows from being critical about the world. We do ourselves a disservice, then, when we don't adequately apply that critical lens to ourselves or movements that claim to be leftist--denying ourselves the opportunity to grow from that criticism.

Excellent video critiquing common defences of the North Korean state in the Marxist-Leninist content sphere:

The information war against the USSR was waged throughout its entire existence and continues to be waged after its collapse. What myths were and are being spread about the USSR? Who, why, and at whose expense is conducting bourgeois propaganda? #socialism #communism #capitalism #marxism #leninism #marxismleninism youtube.com/live/XP1FzU34GIE

Lenin is simply saying in different words what Marx said:

"The weapons with which the bourgeoisie felled feudalism to the ground are now turned against the bourgeoisie itself. But not only has the bourgeoisie forged the weapons that bring death to itself; it has also called into existence the men who are to wield those weapons—the modern working class—the proletarians." – Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto

A picture of Vladimir Lenin with a quote of his beneath it that says, "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." In the bottom left cormer is a website, "www.internationalmagz.com". In the top right corner is the logo "The International."
