    In my baby socialist phase, I still also opposed the DPRK, then some soon-to-be-comrades in SLS showed me some material that made me realize just how much bullshit the West says about this country.

    One of the first things I learned was that the DPRK was not some textbook military/personalist dictatorship, but that it was actually a democratic society, and that the power of the Kim family is massively exaggerated, and I also learned about all the atrocities Occupied Korea and the U.S. committed against the Northerners.

    When I think about it, it’s sad how we’re programmed to have such a visceral hatred and aversion to a small country that literally just minds its own business all because they dared to survive after the U.S. tried to wipe it off the face of the Earth.

      Eloquently put, comrade. Ask a liberal why they deserve to be annihilated and you will only hear nonsense. “Genociding their own people”, however that’s supposed to work. “Invading” the definitely real nation of South Korea in the 50s. As if they weren’t a single nation fighting off an imperial invasion. Because they’re a “monarchy”? KSA is a monarchy. The Gulf States are monarchies. The UK is a monarchy! Where’s the outcry? If the DPRK is somehow a monarchy, they’re the most democratic, republican monarchy to have ever existed or will ever exist. Just vile nonsense.
