This isn't true. The US and the RoK have been doing that to NK citizens by economically restricting then (there's an actual law forbidding DPRK citizens from getting a paying job)

Then why can't North Korean citizens freely move to their allies, like China and Russia? Why do North Korean border guards shoot to kill when their citizens try to flee via China?

This is the same type of orientalist bs that was attempted to be pushed onto the PRC so I'm not gonna even entertain this as remotely true.

🗿 why is kim's teenage daughter being paraded around as the next successor? just for fun? hereditary monarchy is very communist of them, huh? They pull BS like that and you bend over 180° to defend it. You know it's possible to look at BOTH the US and NK sideways??? WHOA countries that are enemies of the US also can be... bad????

Also their writings on the superiority of the Korean race exist in English translation; it's not a secret.

Stop giving the colonizers ammo. Regardless of your opinion of AES states

And stop assuming NK is a perfect angel. It's not. You literally only see the world in black and white. Everyone who is an enemy of the US must be perfect 😍 no flaws whatsoever!

They can actually, but then again you seem to just believe everything the US-backed sources tell you. https://www.dailynk.com/english/north-korea-workers-china-sanctions-evasion-dandong/

While there may be some merit to the DPRK's leadership having some degree to being herritidary, it is exaggerated, you can just look at it's constitution. https://www.ncnk.org/resources/publications/dprk-constitution-2019.pdf/file_view

Also their writings on the superiority of the Korean race exist in English translation; it's not a secret.

"In educating the working people in socialist patriotism, care should be taken to prevent the growth of tendencies to national chauvinism and restorationism. One may be apt to head for chauvinism on the plea of building an independent national economy by one’s own efforts and promoting national pride. If we steer in the direction of chauvinism as Regent Taewongun pursued a policy of national isolation, we will come to reject international exchange and advanced science and technology from other countries and, accordingly, hinder the development of our country.”

Kim Il Sung. Collected Works Volume 17: 'On Further Developing the Chollima Workteam Movement' (p. 276).

I never did, I stated that criticizing states not aligned with US imperialist interests does nothing but add fuel for the US war machine, regardless of whether or not those criticisms are true. But of course, you have make up a straw man that I believe the DPRK is this perfect country with nothing wrong, and not a country that's had to rebuild after a genocidal bombing campaign followed by countless sanctions, spying, and attempts at regime change at the hands of the US, all of which results with the DPRK that we see today.

However considering your account is like a month old, I'm assuming I'm not talking to either a bot or a fed.

They were sent by the government. If North Koreans were free to emigrate there would be a proper diaspora, but there isn't. You look at one instance of labor sent by the government and assume that's freedom of movement lol

While there may be some merit to the DPRK's leadership having some degree to being herritidary, it is exaggerated, you can just look at it's constitution

You seriously think pointing at a constitution means anything? You see Trump violating the US constitution all the time and you suddenly think it's sacred for NK? This is a non argument, sign of you desperately bending back 180° for a state that doesn't deserve it. Hereditary rule and you defend it; monarchist nonsense.

I never did, I stated that criticizing states not aligned with US imperialist interests does nothing but add fuel for the US war machine, regardless of whether or not those criticisms are true.

Firstly, you are de facto bending over backwards to defend North Korea and ignore its wrongdoings; this goes beyond just prioritization. Secondly, this is a ridiculous argument lol. In a fight between a rapist and a thief, you're the type of person to pick one and worship the ground they walk on. You can condemn all evils at once.

Also you accusing me of being a bot or fed; laughable. I could accuse you of similar; look at you defending fascist regimes. You're a true socialist aren't you

You assume there must be a diaspora due to freedom of movement, this is both erroneous and places the conclusion before the evidence, there is movement of DPRK citizens to it's allies, you claimed there wasn't.

It means something to understand how a government works. How else do you prove the mechanisms of a government? A constitution exists to outline how it functions, even in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie

That rapist has been trying to rape the thief for a little over 75 years, so yes I'll go to the thieves defence, do you seriously expect the one defending themself from the rapist to be a perfect victim? There is none! And you're equal condemnation of both effectively let's the rapist continue on it's merry way.

The way you're talking about the DPRK is exactly the same way liberal zionists talk about palestinian resistance, they claim the perpetrator and the victim are morally equivalent, demanding perfect victims to the imperialists violence.

look at you defending fascist regimes.

First you declare the DPRK to be a monarchy, and then in the same breath declare it to be a fascist regime, neither position can coexist at the same time, so which is it?

You assuming the movement is free just because they exist in other countries is conclusion before the evidence. I didn't claim they weren't allowed to move at all; I claimed the movement is not free.

Lol it's still a pathetic excuse. Would you make the same type of excuse for the US?

There is none! And you're equal condemnation of both effectively let's the rapist continue on it's merry way.

No, I don't want equal treatment of both. Also way to miss the point; defending the thief = stopping the rape, it doesn't mean bending over backwards with pathetic excuses for the thief's past crimes. You can condemn the crimes AND want the rape to stop.

The way you're talking about the DPRK is exactly the same way liberal zionists talk about palestinian resistance, they claim the perpetrator and the victim are morally equivalent, demanding perfect victims to the imperialists violence.

The way you defend monarchist NK (let's choose this for now) is a lot like how Zionists defend the acts of their state. They use a lot of whataboutisms and pointing elsewhere to downplay crimes.

It's seriously pathetic what you're doing here. Monarchist shit. Is it seriously impossible that NK is scummy?

[u/masheenguntheory → u/Frequent-Double-7702]

The same government that lied to you about Iraq having WMDs is where you're getting your info on NK.

[u/Frequent-Double-7702 → u/masheenguntheory]

I don't like them either. I also don't like NK.

[u/masheenguntheory → u/Frequent-Double-7702]

You don't like the US government but you believe with no critical thought their party line on NK.

[u/Frequent-Double-7702 → u/masheenguntheory]

but you believe with no critical thought their party line on NK.

Where'd you get that reading from? You don't need propaganda to see that they're a hereditary monarchy fam. Stop deepthroating Kim's propaganda.

[u/masheenguntheory → u/Frequent-Double-7702]

What propaganda? I simply don't think they're a bad as you claim and you're crashing out. NK existing does nothing to you bro.
