Anyway the DPRK is evil for locking up capitalist compradors who wanna sell out the country to the highest bidder, right?
A comprador is like a traitor? And North Korea only jails traitors (and usual criminals)? Are people otherwise allowed to criticize the government?
I read about the bombing of North Korea during the Korean war. That’s horrible. 20% of all people died.
Also their decision to make nukes is something I fully support. During the US bombing of Iran I saw people pointing out that this is why my country has nukes. So I understand the logic. But it is a horrible way to think.
DPRK has nukes explicitly to defend itself from invasion, and not as a tool of war like the US, where nukes are their everything-proof shield to bully other nations without fear of reprisal.
A comprador is a saboteur working to overthrow the government on behalf of a hostile foreign government. People who plan out economic or military sabotage, or who work to assassinate important figures. Imagine if Jan 6 had been planned as a coup and everyone there was armed and knew the floor plan of Congress so they could beeline to the VIPs and execute them. The people responsible for planning that would be compradors, as would all the boots on the ground.

Yeah, it’s a term used by leftists mostly to describe betraying your country/people for the sake of foreign imperial interests.
