It’s true that the student activists(운동권) were deeply involved in the struggle for bourgeois democracy of 80s, but they never became the majority in my opinion. I view the '87 system(the 6th republic) as a half victory, since Koreans succeeded in protecting the democratic system from the fascist regime, but they didn’t manage to go further ahead of it. Still, leftist discourses from 운동권(such as NLPDR, National Liberation-People’s Democracy Revolution) is influencing the current leftist/communist movements.

It’s a classical tactic of the bourgeoisie in my opinion… The comprador, the monopoly capital, and the mass media provokes the misogyny, racism, and violence against the left as always, not letting them find out who the real enemy is.

I am sorry for your friend… 😅 Never have considered the beauty standard so seriously, but true, it is too harsh… Maybe that’s why plastic surgery is so prevailing among the early 20s. People don’t take plastic surgery as a social norm, but it’s true that more than a few of South Koreans experience plastic surgery in their lives.

Always has been, comrade…

almost every works of comrade Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il is available online in English as I see, probably somewhere like marxists.org… For me, comrade Kim Il sung is a solid 10. I’d give him a 100 if I can(not that I follow his thought or anything… I love my government and capitalism I am a sound and patriotic citizen of the Republic of Korea just like you my fellow agents 😁)

Of course, all chaebol groups are the ones to struggle against and overthrow.

Samsung. It grew up to be a chaebol, merely because of the support from fascist dictators(박정희, 전두환). It still is deeply connected financially and politically with the conservative politics(박근혜, 윤석열. You can see Samsung was the one loyal patron of Park Geun-hye regime). With the wealth from the dictators and from corruption, it is still exploiting the workers. As I remember, workers’ union(삼성노조) was allowed by the company only one or two years ago.

Hi, good to see you comrade. Most South Koreans, especially the gen Z, aren’t so favorable to China because of a strong sense that South Korea belongs to the ‘team U.S.A.’ I think of it as the effect of inveterate anti-communist education, propaganda, etc. Almost like brainwashing.

I don’t really like Buldak noodles… They’re too spicy for me… I prefer ones less spicy such as 신라면 or 육개장사발면.

I just tried wiggling my ears after reading your comment… I guess I can’t 😅

Thanks! I hope I can bring back ‘Labour Party of South Korea(남조선로동당)’ to life once again.

True, sadly… There are plenty of socialist-communist organisations though. I am a member of one of those.

Only a tip of the iceberg. Some teachers would teach the war crimes committed by US imperialists, but not the majority. Being critical isn’t against the law, but it’s almost like a taboo.
