Are you capable of engaging with TB's points instead of falling back into insults to save face?

ive done this song and dance before. there's nothing to engage. they've already edited their comment multiple times to say almost entirely different things. calling that party a "significant minority" is insane lie. if i linked literally anything from anywhere you'd just call it western propaganda. im not putting the effort in for you morons.

you're literally claiming that north. korea. has a functioning democracy. get a grip.

Okay, well, if you feel like reading a book sometime, I highly recommend Patriots, Traitors, and Empires: The story of Korea's Struggle for Freedom, by political analyst Stephen Gowans (he's not a commie, no reason to be scared)(edit: he's a marxist), it goes into the history of the Korean peninsula, starting from the Japanese colonization in the early 1900s, through WW2, the division of the country into North/South, the Korean war, through to present day, answering why North Korea (DPRK) is where it's at today.

Here's an article that goes over the basics of it all, if you're not up for reading the whole book (but it's a very good book)
