Something something… free markets… capitalism–no! Not like that!
ROK had three main advantages that allowed it to be more prosperous than DPRK:
- It wasn’t mostly destroyed by the US during the war.
- It has plenty of plains suitable for farming while DPRK has steep mountainous terrain.
- It wasn’t sanctioned or embargoed.
Other events like the fall of the USSR and a major flood have also set DPRK back.
It will be interesting to watch if DPRK becomes the more prosperous nation long-term due to socialism simply being a better economic system and what this will mean for future reunification. But I am getting ahead of myself.

Its been interesting to see the recent economic successes of the DPRK and to watch how even the capitalist media in the US is starting to concede to it. Now, whether that means that the US is going to try to get them to “open up” like China did is anyone’s guess.
My prediction is that social collapse in the south will eventually lead to reunification.
Didn’t unoccupied Korea say they were no longer interested in reunification? Why would they want to rehabilitate that cess pool?
Yeah, the new policy is they’re not going to seek reunification, but I think that mostly implies that they see no reason to take over the south by force. If there was a collapse in the south, integrating it would mean removing US presence from their border. And that would be very valuable.

WOW! Plethora!
It means a lot

Let’s fucking goooooo
South “Korea”*
What does this mean?
more like us military base at the south of korea amirite
South “Korea” is about as real as Taiwan. They exist only to serve as Vassal states for the US.
This reeks of authoritarian dipshittery, but I’ll still ask about your reunification plans
i think that’s up to koreans to decide, not the west in any of its forms!
“This sounds like Stupid Bad Guy talk”
Damn dude wicked insight, you don’t sound 12 at all.
-Fails to “gotcha”
-Doesn’t engage in reunification discussion
-Accuses someone else of being 12
I guess I can’t expect much from a River Rock.
authoritarian
what a thought terminating cliché
Imagine wanting to be told what to do lmao.
Imagine being a grown ass adult and basing your politics around childish contrarianism
That seems to be the MO of you and this thread.
E.g -“Korea”- and the disregard of South Korean self-determination
I don’t care about downvotes and I understand where you’re coming from…
But I need you to understand you sound fucking nuts.
I mean, it was a couple of Americans that decided where the North/South Korean border would be. South Korea basically is a vassal state.
I mean I don’t disagree with the sentiment here but I’m more referring to the wall-eyed declaration people feel the need to make in every vaguely related thread.
This is all you guys have at the end of the day, just desperately declaring dissenters insane like a bunch of Victorians when it’s always been you living in an insane, fabricated reality, and I know this because I used to be you.
I imagine you are experiencing something you think is freedom when you barely have a sense of where any of this ‘non-fabricated’ reality actually sits in the scheme of things. Get help before you turn yourself inside out trying to out-reality yourself.
Some of us are having hard times as dissenter’s for being non-white folk or just simply having different views than the Democrats or Republicans. I welcome the discussions about this lol
Can you elaborate on this? I genuinely only wanted to address how arbitrary it seemed to be that someone would go out of their way to just start declaring whole countries as invalid because of American interventionism, which, granted, is not good, to put it super lightly. But I want to know where the need to just inject it wherever comes from.
I’m 100% just having internet arguments here but I don’t think I cast the first stone here. The top comment was tailor made for people to engage with. Personally I’m stressed and when I’m stressed I go do shit like this.
Holy hells, I love it when the libs cloak their condescending attitude and western brainworms in a holier than thou sense of trying to help or something. Why don’t you go offer your “help” to someone who asks for it, or are that kinda person who doesn’t care for consent?
You’re right, that is kind of condescending. I actually hate it when people use the get help line but, no, I don’t really care here. It rattled you enough to comment on it for someone else so where’s the consent now? You like imposing your own sense of superiority in place of someone else? Mad no one directed their energies at you so you step in where they could have easily responded themselves? Holier than thou indeed.
It’s become cliche to point out projection but holy shit
I want to know what you think you mean by this.
It likely means they don’t want to legitimize the state formed so that US and its puppet dictator could go on to on to level every “North” Korean city, killing 15% of the population because gobunism bad
… What does this mean?
Is this comment about Yoon Suk Yeol?
15? 25, lol.
Material reality starting to catch up to the idealistic capitalist periphery
