Re: [Marxism] The DPRK (north Korea) ends truce with ROK (south) over souther...

Do you really think that there is anything progressive about North Korea.
Would world imperialism be really that much more secure and stable if the
country was reunified under capitalist rule?

Look at Seoul and look at Pyongyang both economically, socially and
politically and tell me that state capitalism, or whatever the hell North
Korea was, did a better job of building productive forces than a
state-regulated bourgeois accumulation.

It's a terrible, terrible state with an incoherent ideology, Juche behind
it.  It gives Stalinism a bad name, let's not even call it that.
