Does anybody know whether there is any kind of resistance against the regime in North Korea at all? Left-wing resistance, right-wing resistance, resistance within the party, underground resistance, cultural resistance, anything...

Dear defenders of the DPRK, please don't start elaborating how North Korea isn't so bad in this thread - this has been discussed in other threads and I'm aware of the arguments.

All I'm interested in here is whether there's any resistance in North Korea. For obvious reasons, it's very hard to get info on that. I couldn't find anything on the web except for a brief, 2 years old article on a small resistance group within the North Korean People's Army. It also said that anti-goverment graffiti and posters frequently appear in the streets. That's already more than I expected - maybe you know more about it than I do?

The only organized force fighting to overthrow the bureaucratized proletarian state and the bureaucracy that rules in the DPRK is U.S. imperialism and it's junior partners (though to a much lesser extent than they are doing in Cuba).

What's needed is socialist revolution in Asia, especially in south Korea... As our Party states "Only the victory of socialist revolutions in other countries can create the openings necessary for the establishment of genuine socialism in the bureaucratized proletarian states (e.g. by revitalizing the working class internationally, reducing the ability of the bureaucracies to prop their rule by pointing to the need to defend the country from the imperialists, etc.)."
