    This clown was about to spark WWIII by doing a false flag operation and blame it on the DPRK. The DPRK is a national security issue for China, similar to how Ukraine is for Russia. China can’t afford the DPRK to fall and turned into another US puppet in that region. China will most likely intervene if the DPRK is attacked. DPRK also has a defence pact with Russia. Death penalty for Yoon is the right punishment.

    How many former presidents have the ROK executed / jailed? Can’t remember the latest count since they always seem to be running it up.

          As far as I know, they arrested a lot of businesspeople and politicians without destroying companies or laying off workers, something that did not happen in Latin America during the 2010s, when the United States and the CIA tried to destroy all state-owned companies in Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. I think that only happened because the United States is interested in maintaining South Korean companies, unlike in Latin America, where they want us to be just a big farm and a mining site to be exploited by the United States and Europe.

        Very nice! Can we also see the DPRK’s track record? Let me guess, zero? And libs have guts to call it a totalitarian authoritarian dictatorship.

        It’s like someone said a few months ago, we should slow up on calling them “bad Korea” and offer a bit of credit where it’s due.

          I think the fact that the system produces presidents who are consistently so bad that (almost?) every single one has left in disgrace is probably a bigger negative trait than the fact that they bother taking action against a good number of them.

            Just saying to slow up a bit, we don’t have to stop completely. Its certianly something compared to the free and legal corruption you see in the US and other liberal governments.

                Right, sorry I didn’t explain that well. I just don’t see what the governments of occupied territories can really do. Ex: It seems like South Korea and Japan wants to do right by their population, but what we saw with the sudden change in Japan’s government last year was way more drastic than I think a lot of Comrades were paying attention to. Japan went from protesting Israel and making Israeli tourists sign non-involvement in wartime clauses. To just suddenly completely changing their non-aggression stance to suddenly send a shit ton of money to UKRAINE and say they’ll get militarily envolved with China, their greatest economic ally, while their elderly population is in dire need. Like Japan and South Korea were getting better. Then their occupiers say no.

                Like no fuck that. Down with the governments of Japan and SK. Okinawa, as well as every province within Japan and Korea desperately need self-governance. That’s what we, as communists, should be working towards. East-Asia proletariat revolution against the western occupation at it’s most instable time. Do it, guys. Let’s fucking go.

                  Well, the governments (as instruments of class oppression) are most proximately the problem and I think talking about what they “can” do kind of lends itself to weird question begging since the governments are willful collaborators. I’m not particularly trying to blame the proletariat of these countries though, because there’s a lot of criticism you can make but ultimately things like SK presidents resigning in disgrace and Japan’s anti-zionist measures you list are surely mostly products of popular pushback rather than, for example, the national bourgeoisie of Japan deciding that they suddenly don’t like ethnostates (see Japan’s freedom of association laws) and colonialism (Hokkaido; Ryukyu) now.

                  Anyway, we agree on the substance of the issue that these governments need to be overthrown and for America and the west no long hold special authority over them.

    He was briefly released in March after a court cancelled his detention, but was re-arrested in July and has been held since.

    Seems reasonable, if you live in a country that already has the death penalty. The attempted coup president is not where I would start drawing the line and making a moral stance anyway
