This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I read DPRK news daily, I know how to access it. I'm just asking about NK News's motives. Also, I'm pretty sure uriminzokkiri got taken down after Kim Jong-Un abandoned the unification policy.
I haven't read NK News in a few years, but my sense is it's a western-funded outlet. Basically aligned with US government interests, but tries to be more "academic" and less sensational than, say, Yeonmi Park on any given day. They ran an article once about how some of the more egregious errors in western reporting on the DPRK stem from gross mistranslations of Korean. That should tell you the stance they take: "north Korea is bad, but we need to be professional and avoid needless fearmongering, otherwise people might stop taking American policy re. the Korean peninsula seriously."
Thanks for the insight.
