North Korea: your views

[Loki]

Which side do you support? Let us know why.

Poll coming.

[ButlerKing]

South Korea

[Scholarios]

Early Goryeo Dynasty

-but of course South Korea is the only state that anyone in their right mind would want to live in. Japanese Chosen Colony was not as bad as Koreans make it out, but still far from paradise.

[Virtuous]

N.Korea will do everything to keep their ideology alive, against the interest of the people.
Merica', I have an endless list of what's bad with Merica'.

[alfieb]

I don't care about North Korea one way or the other. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if Japan took the shit back, either.

[ButlerKing]

South Korea is better than North Korea in everything except for military power.

Between North Korea and America I will support North Korea.

[Pallantides]

Loki you should had a North Korean flag to the country selection:)

[Methmatician]

Don't like South Korea and I hate North Korea.

[Fortis in Arduis]

The DPRK is best Korea because is has the most potential. It could pursue nationalist economic policies and supercede the Republic of Korea.

The DPRK used to be in better shape than the RoK. They cannot shut out the world, and they need to get their thinking caps on, and become a property-owing nationalist republic.

[Jackson]

Just watched that Panorama program on North Korea, and I've seen some other videos before.

The place is a real mess. The fact is they are probably only going to get closer to war, as they seem to be intending to provoke America, and the reality is that they are very weak. They couldn't last in a protracted defense of their country, they barely have any electrical power and most of the population don't have enough food.

To me the place basically looks like a stationary war party with it's thralls keeping the war party afloat.

I'd vote for South Korea any day, it's a thousand times better.

I say if they take it too far America will have to respond with force, because now things have been set in motion it's got to end somehow. The truth is you couldn't really frighten North Korea into submission, they are willing to go further than America would which puts America at a disadvantage.

Has to be played very carefully, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it escalated, and there is really only one result for North Korea in that case, which is absolute destruction, unfortunately for (most) of it's people.

[Burkean]

South Korea, of course.

[PeasantAndWorker]

I totally stand with the DPRK and fully support respected leader Kim Jong-un who is advancing socialism in the same manner as great leader Kim Jong-il and great leader Kim Il-sung.

The DPRK is an illustrious nation that avoided the revisionism and capitalist reform of Khrushchev, Gorbachev, and Deng. The DPRK is resolutely committed to building socialism under the banner of Marxism-Leninism. The DPRK has achieved many great accomplishments all the while being totally strangled by humiliating UN sanctions and being the target of aggressive imperialism. The fact that living standards were better in the DPRK than south Korea up to 1986 proves that unhindered by imperialism, the achievements of the DPRK and Juche socialism would be monumental.

There are so many falsehoods propagated by the anti-DPRK media. Even many on the left have betrayed the DPRK.

[Pontios]

I rather be under a horrible supreme leader who leads my nation, and does things for the best of my nation, rather than be a puppet of another country.

[Vasconcelos]

lol

[Dombra]

North Korea is like a neighour with a shotgun living an old shackle. He may be completely crazy and stays in his house but one day he will start shooting

Do you really believe all this rubbish ?

[Kemalisté]

I have a sympathy toward the DPRK. I don't agree with the monarchical order in the administration though.

[Vasconcelos]

:picard2:


If you like it so much, move into NK as ask for citizenship. After a few years come back and tell us how the experience was....oh wait, you wouldn't come back. Oh bollocks.

Ah, yes, because if we like a country we have to go live there. I'm planning to visit the DPRK someday anyway.

[baraSYR]

North Korea is dictatorship.

Why on Earth would anyone with a bit of sanity like a "country" that treats it's people like fucking animals? Enjoy having a bath of propaganda and being shown "model" (lol) stuff by government officials who keep track of your actions.

[Smaland]

North Korea is a Stalinist state. That's all I need to know.

[Xenomorph]

If Ted Bundy was the dictator of a country, that country would look just like North Korea.

[PeasantAndWorker]

North Korea is dictatorship.

Yes, a dictatorship of the proletariat, whereby the state is no longer a tool of oppression and the Korean people are for the first time empowered and in control of their own history.

the Korean people have no real say in the issue... as they had no real say in the division of their peninsula. that's not to say that the original korean workers party had no support of the north korean people, but they basically screwed their mandate when they refused general elections in 49.
