We support North Korea because their biggest crime was not capitulating to the US after being bombed to shit
I agree. Even a 'bad' rule by local people is better than a 'benevolent' rule by a foreign country. But shouldn't a leftwing government act more in the interest of its people, particularly the poor?
dawg literally every propaganda thing you've ever heard about North Korea literally happened in the South
tell me what's "bad" about their rule now btw? that they'll "imprison" political opponents? jesus look at what literally any other country in the world does. the U.S. has the world's largest prison population in absolute #s as well as % of population and it has so for literally decades, far eclipsing any Soviet, Chinese or DPRK gulag you could ever imagine. Ah but they're mostly locked up for being poor and having weed and shit, definitely not political opponents. Anyway the DPRK is evil for locking up capitalist compradors who wanna sell out the country to the highest bidder, right? Fuck you
The DPRK was literally decimated in population, like the actual fucking Roman decimation, not "oh they were really fucked up." The U.S. destroyed any building bigger than a shed. I cannot stress to you enough how much of an incredible struggle it would be to build back from that, to the degree the DPRK has, in the time frame in which it has, even with the limited support given to it by China and the USSR. Like just look at your home and think to yourself "What would it take to rebuild this from nothing, when all construction equipment and manufacturing is also destroyed?"
Nothing frustrates me more than pointing this shit out to people, having them nod along, and them go "well they're starving their own people" so I really hope you fucking understand what it means to have the entire country so devastated, and THEN be forced under economic embargo designed to further starve the country and prevent it rebuilding. What they have achieved is absolutely, tremendously heroic.
P.s. If you think "oh they're a rogue state with nukes" hey idiot, have you considered they're less rabid than your own governments and you're just being lied to? It came out a few months ago that Trump tried to send a SEAL team into the DPRK to plant a listening device mid negotiation regarding nukes. They were immediately caught, shot up dozens of Korean civilians on what was probably a fishing boat, and fled. They were attempting to replicate a similar operation under George Bush, which was successful. After this, the negotiations broke down. People like you were told "crazy kim jong un can't be trusted" but like can you fucking imagine if a North Korean submarine team went into the Seattle harbor and shot up a bunch of civilians, then fucked off back home with no consequences because they're the global empire? Christ
P.p.s. look up shit like the Brother's Home in Busan, or the police dictatorship in the South supported by the U.S. killing tens of thousands of communists PRE KOREAN WAR and fuck off forever
A comprador is like a traitor? And North Korea only jails traitors (and usual criminals)? Are people otherwise allowed to criticize the government?
I read about the bombing of North Korea during the Korean war. That's horrible. 20% of all people died.
Also their decision to make nukes is something I fully support. During the US bombing of Iran I saw people pointing out that this is why my country has nukes. So I understand the logic. But it is a horrible way to think.
forced upon us by the united states
Yeah, it's a term used by leftists mostly to describe betraying your country/people for the sake of foreign imperial interests.
DPRK has nukes explicitly to defend itself from invasion, and not as a tool of war like the US, where nukes are their everything-proof shield to bully other nations without fear of reprisal.
A comprador is a saboteur working to overthrow the government on behalf of a hostile foreign government. People who plan out economic or military sabotage, or who work to assassinate important figures. Imagine if Jan 6 had been planned as a coup and everyone there was armed and knew the floor plan of Congress so they could beeline to the VIPs and execute them. The people responsible for planning that would be compradors, as would all the boots on the ground.
