It's sad how propagandized Amerikkkans can be. Who taught you to hate strangers as deeply as you do? What has the DPRK done to you?
I hope the resources I have available to share can help you start the process of healing.
Best of luck!
I am a BRAZILIAN socialist, but DPRK is a totalitarian dictatorship that isn't truly socialist and have serius problem with starvation and stuff so they aren't really good at all.
The real socialism is the Democratic Socialism.
Source?
Source?
Democratic Socialism is objectively the moderate wing of fascism
SOURCE?
Democratic socialism is nearer to anarcho communism than those far right wingers.
Also you want me to prove I'm Brazilian!? How am I supposed to do that?
The argument in the source, as I understand it, is that democratic socialism doesn't firmly oppose fascism with force, so tacitly allows it to develop.
Naw, I just thought it was funny to write. You're welcome to ignore that.
You still haven't sourced your claims on the DPRK, though.
The most important claim I think he made was that north koreans are starving.
Why are they wasting so much money on their military if they can't feed their population? Who are they even fighting?
Why does Kim's family still get to live a lavish lifestyle?
All these things make it a shitty place to be, regardless of how it's governed.
Source?
They are still at war. The U$ occupies half the peninsula.
Who says he is?
Are you trying to argue that North Koreans aren't starving?
How does the US occupy half the peninsula?
Do you think the Kim family isn't living a lavish lifestyle?
The U$ military occupies South Korea to block reunification.
I'm not going to prove your arguments for you - that's your job.
Or are your arguments based more on a vague cloud of propaganda than on fact?
All you need to do is source your claims.
Ok. Ignore answering the questions that make you uncomfortable.
We all know you're just biased and desperate for an angle to work. That's why you're afraid to answer my simple questions. You know I'm correct.
Either you're a troll or woefully delusional about the world you live in.
Have a nice day.
You still haven't sourced the claims you've made.
Calling me a troll won't change the fact that you're refusing to support your own arguments.
Why is that?
That's okay, bud. You're afraid to say North Koreans are starving because you know it's true.
You're afraid to say the Kim family is living a lavish lifestyle, lmao.
But you were so quick to say "the US occupies half of the peninsula."
I'm not playing your 'sources' game because all you're going to do is say anything that isn't "The Pyongyang Times" is biased. You're so transparent it's practically tangible.
The more you say, the more rational people have to write you off as biased and incredible.
Sorry bud, take your propaganda elsewhere. It doesn't work on rational thinkers.
you don't seem willing to scrub the western propaganda from your brain, but in case you are arguing in good faith and acutally are open to re-educating yourself:

Ok, sure. "Your sources are better than mine because they support your argument."

The Koreans I know don't want "unification" because North Korea is not a country they recognize as "the same" anymore. Maybe 50 yrs ago but that's over a generation ago.
Also they think NK is a shithole.

NK would be better off if they didn't waste so many resources on their nuclear program and 'important' families.
Blaming sanctions doesn't really make sense when NK clearly isn't trying to solve the problem themselves. They're trying to hold the world hostage.
The nuclear weapons are the only thing stopping the U$ from murdering 20% of their population and razing 80% of their buildings. Again.
The sanctions are meant to torture the civilians. It's siege warfare.

No they aren't. The US isn't invading North Korea because they have no reason to.
It would just be a mindless slaughter with no real gain.
Please read about the Korean War and the US's fascist pursuit against Communist/Socialist countries. The US has specific policies about stamping out Communism, with devastating consequences for those countries.
Please tell me specifically what you think I should know and add sources if you can find them.
Saying "just look it up bro" isn't conducive to discussion and just tells me you're not confident in your argument.
I just watched this documentary by a Korean American where you can find some information about it in the context of Korea. He interviews a South Korean lawyer who specializes in the legal defense on North Koreans, as well as a couple North Korean now living in the south.
You can also watch this video that talks more widely about the red scare and military actions against socialist countries. There are sources in the video description if you are interested.

The U$ still militarily occupies Korea.
That's not guaranteed. The U$ did not win the Korean war.
