North Korea

isnt it funny how every single book that comes out of eastern europe/east asia into the west is all about
>muh evil communists?

it's almost like government agencies and special interest groups selectively choose what to translate.

From my understanding the U.S. State Department was pretty open about sponsoring the publishing house that printed the original Korean version.

wtf is an antifashionista

>>9364253
they're open in that they dont straight up deny it/hide it, but it's certainly not something that's advertised or even publicized

I think they quoted a State Department official in the second article I read about the book. I don't think you can get much more open unless you want paid advertising.

It's almost like communism actually is evil and killed millions of people.

>not liking communism makes you /pol/

Now I've heard it all. Fuck off you utter moron.

>>9364338
No, not knowing how to define words makes you /pol/. Go back there

>>9364338
>you're a moron!

hah, got'em.

go back to /pol/

>>9364343

Go back to leftypol or reddit you wispy bearded little imbecile.

>>9364353
I've never been to either of those places.

Calling people names doesn't change the fact that you don't understand the concept of words having a concrete definition. You seem much better suited to first order political discussion. I'm telling you this for your benefit.

>>9364353
Garbling shite makes you look like a little bitch. Try better next time pls.

I don't care about your special snowflake definition of communism. It's all the same.

One day you're going to grow out of your edgy leftist phase and you're going to look back on those years with embarrassment. I'm telling you this for your benefit.

>>9364372
I'm not a leftist.
>I don't care about your special snowflake definition of communism. It's all the same.
Ah, so you're an idiot. That explains things.

>>9364372
how's freshman year of college going for you buddy?

Has anyone actually read the book?

>>9364435
i torrented it from tpb, and i found it kind of ordinary, to be honest. yeah, they live in a full-on communist state, and, yeah, they have to worship Lil' Kim like a god, and, of course, everyone's spying on everyone else and everyone above the level of peasant is an asshole. i expected that, but there wasn't anything new in these revelations.

Guys, is this bait? I've been on this site for a while and I still can't tell. Having lived for the first nine years of my life in a communist shithole and the rest in the same shithole, now turned pseudo-democratic, or rather kleptocratic, it is an exercise in the absurd to see young people this deluded. Is this typical for left-leaning westerners, I wonder? I'm looking at this person arguing about how light is actually dark and dark light and he (she? they?) is so convinced, he knows his stuff, he has seen the truth...it's surreal. In a bad way. Still, what else is there to do but laugh bitterly at the pompous, steady march of human folly? If I could turn back in time for a day, to 1987 say; if I could take this anon with me to this time when he hadn't probably been born yet; if I could have him switch places with me for that one day. I'm asking for far too many miracles.
