Korea / 조선

550 readers

A community about anything related to Korea, such as news about the countries (DPRK and south), discussion, photos and videos, the language, etc.

See also: [email protected], which is intended for memes rather than serious discussion of these topics.

The picture of this Lemmy community is magnolia (목란), the national flower of the DPRK. The background picture is a scenery of Pyongyang.

Rules:

  1. No imperialist apologia. The DPRK didn't start the war. US imperialist invasion was not justified. Neither are their army bases in south Korea. The sanctions were and are not justified.

  2. Be respectful. The imperialist media likes to describe the DPRK people as completely brainwashed, and that it'd be fine to completely destroy that country in an invasion. Don't act like the imperialist media.

  3. Be skeptical of your sources. Don't trust the media that has been known to report many falsehoods about Korea already. (You may still link to them if they write something interesting / worth reading, just be careful.)

But the fact that nobody can predict the outcome of the next election though means in my books that it's pretty close to a free election.

We can and do predict with 100% accuracy that one of two candidates will win the US election. Both of those candidates represent essentially the same tiny minority of ultrawealthy donor-class elite. The fact that anyone falls for this obvious hoodwinking and thinks they have a "choice" or any say in who rules over them in the US still astounds me. Even when I was a lib I knew US elections were nothing more than a good-cop/bad-cop routine. Nah, we know exactly who will "win" the "free" election in the US every single time with zero deviation: the bourgeoisie.

The reason for this is that the dems can't drift leftward lest they lose to the republicans, who are backed by the wealthy. Seems like an unfortunate scenario unrelated to the actual electoral process, caused by capitalism and the interference of money in the election. It'd be great if we could prevent money from interfering in the election.

No, more like the dems are also backed by the wealthy and they are both perfect little tools for the capitalist ruling class of the United States whom is also the global hegemon of the world who enacts crimes, interventions and even funds/arms genocide. Biden did that, by the way! Because he was completely lying out of his fucking ass about asking for a cease-fire!

Don't worry though, they're both making money off dead kids. We possibly can't go left-wards though!
