The millions killed directly, as well as the millions that died because of the devastation leaving them no food or homes.

The 25th of June, 1950 was indeed a fateful day for the Korean people, in the north even more than in the south.

They wouldn't have had to deal with this bullshit if the Red Army had seized all of Korea.

Are there any non-biased information sources about NK? They could be racist monsters who kill disabled people, but maybe not. The anti-NK stuff could be western propoganda.

Here is what they claim on thier forum:

The DPRK practically guarantees the people genuine political freedom and rights according to the fundamental requirement of the Juche idea for enhancing man's independence and creativity in every way.
In the DPRK the rights and duties of citizens are based on the collectivist principle, "One for all and all for one." The Socialist Constitution of the DPRK specifies that the state effectively guarantees all the conditions for the democratic rights and liberties as well as the material and cultural well-being of the citizens.
All the citizens who have reached 17 years of age have the right to elect and to be elected, irrespective of sex, race, occupation, length of residence, property status, education, party affiliation, political views and religion. They also have freedom of speech, the press, assembly, demonstration and association, freedom of religious beliefs and they are entitled to submit complaints and petitions.
The workers, peasants and other working people, as masters of power, participate in state administration and freely engage in socio-political activities in political parties and public organizations.
The working people have the right to work and rest, the right to education and free medical care and freedom of scientific, literary and artistic pursuits. Women are accorded equal social status and rights with men. The state affords special privilege to mothers and children. Marriage and the family are protected by the state.
The working people are guaranteed inviolability of the person and the home and privacy of correspondence. The rights and freedom of citizens steadily increase with the consolidation and development of the socialist system.

It's difficult to really know the truth about North Korea. For one thing America is very racist (and even more so in past, obviously). I know in my hometown that a lot of people don't like Asians, and the motivation isn't patriotism. They also have an ego-centric mindset which borderlines on childish. They get mad cause some NK killed thier relative, even though the US killed millions of them (The US lost a very small percentage in comparison).

Anyhow, the US takes no mind to kill 30 percent of NKs population using whatever necessary (without consulting ethics). In the case of Germany, it was done to avenge Nazi attacks. But in the cases of NK and Vietnam, it seemed more like some kind of genocidal experiment.

There is a growing number of intellectuals who are now classifying North Korea as a de facto monarchist dictatorship, hiding behind a mask of communism and I tend to agree. The latest draft of the North Korean Constitution officially rejects communism in favor of Kim il-Sung's Juche ideology. Self reliance, if you'll recall, is a central theme to capitalism (especially in regards to laissez-faire). If anything the ideology is sociopathic. If anyone out there has seen one of those North Korean propaganda cartoons you know racial supremacy is on their minds. Ultimately I think the Korean War was all for the worse. America killed thousands of people and so did Korea and nothing good came out of it.

The massive bombing of the north produced a "Pol Pot effect" by scaring them into becoming really nuts. Note: When Nixon bombed Cambodia it produced so much insanity that groups like the Khemer Rouge rose to stabalize the society by implementing "bizarre communism".

Of course, you won't hear a story like that on Fox. They'll just say the NK is a strange hellhole without any explanation of the Korean War's contribution to the problem.

A good book to read about the history of the DPRK would be "Target North Korea" by Gavan McCormack. By no means is he a DPRK apologist or a socialist, but his insights into the current tension on the peninsula are remarkably well tied to recent history that most mainstream critics tend to overlook.

Fun Fact: More people were killed in the Korean War by US and s Korean atrocities than the whole number of people cited to be killed by the KWP and DPRK government since 1949.

We also have to take into account the fact that the North Korean regime was borne out of resistance to Japanese Imperalism (as also with Mao).
