Best Criticism of DPRK

Quote:

Juche was influenced by the Sino-Soviet split, yes. My point was that the Marxist theorist who founded it, Hwang Jang Yop, defected to the Republic of Korea because Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il *failed* to implement true "self-reliance", or any version of socialism for that matter. Because North Korea is no longer "marxist" at all, its Fascist.

The office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has officially acknowledged North Korea’s “continued violation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of women" which in particular refers to ethnically motivated forced abortions, as well as to infanticide of children of repatriated mothers.The intent to destroy racially mixed babies on ethnic grounds is therefore clear and incontestable."

"People with dwarfism not only have difficulties getting married, but when they get married, they are forced to become sterile. Kim Il Sung commanded, “Dwarfs must not spread their genes so put them together in one place." Kang Chang Suh, The Daily NK, 21 April 2005

"Ri Kwang-chol, a physician who fled to South Korea last year, told rights activists that the practice of killing newborns was widespread. "There are no people with physical defects in North Korea," Ri said." Reuters, March 22, 2006

"North Korea's ideology is a race-based worldview utterly at odds with the teachings of Marx and Lenin.North Korea's race-centric ideology was inspired by that of the fascist Japanese who ruled the peninsula from 1910 until the end of World War II. Having been taught by their colonizers to regard themselves as part of a superior Yamato race, the North Koreans in 1945 simply carried on the same mythmaking." B.R. Myers The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans see themselves and why it matters.
