    Hasn't the DPRK called for reunification for decades now?

    Wasn't this Kim Il-Sung's original goal in the first place? Hardly really anything new and it just sounds like an impossible pipe dream.

    South Korea needs to take over North Korea, just sayin. However, I don't believe that South Korea has any interest in such an unstable and fucked up region as NK

    Ah yes, South Korea should bomb and slaughter the North. Because they have a casus belli damn it and you can't let that go to waste!

    I wouldn't say the south needs to take over necessarily, but, something needs be done on unification. The DPRK won't last forever as it currently operates, due to trade sanctions and a lack of national output to generate economic growth. It's not a matter of if the North fails, but when. And when it does, there will be a bit of chaos between China, the US, and the South, as they bicker over who takes the land.

    Plus, there's a reason so many North Koreans risk everything to cross the border into China. I've done a little bit of work with Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) which helps North Korea refugees settle in SK and the US. Their stories aren't exactly heartwarming. Electricity outages, lack of free movement, lack of food, lack of general political rights. And of course, if you leave NK and get repatriated by China, your life, and your families, is essentially over.

    So letting NK fail and have SK try and bring them into a unified would do a lot of good. The only other option might be to have China take it, but that seems unfair to the Korean people who has divided for some 60 years.

    It's that kind of talk that makes the DPRK what it is today.

    ...what?

    No, I don't think chatter on Revleft has anything to do with the DPRK.

    Does South Korea even want to unify with North Korea?

    If the two states were to merge then there would not doubt be a mass migration of North Koreans to the urban centers of the South. I don't think the wealthier South Koreans would welcome the poorer North Koreans in their cities or want to use their wealth to help the North. It just seems like the South is keeping unification on the table because it's the status quo and the allies of South Korea want it more.

    I was talking generally. The reason the DPRK is so authoritarian is because they're constantly under attack. The more people talk about it being "taken over" the worse it will become.

    No, the DPRK is so authoritarian because they are run by an insane monarchy.

    North Korea and their apologists really should stop flattering when they talk of being invaded. There are lots of people in the South who do not want to unify with the North because once they do, they have to carry the dead weight of idiotic economic policy for years to come.

    And why do you think that is? They tell their people the world is waiting for a chance to blow them to hell and they're the only thing that stands in their way. The sad fact is they're probably right.

    There is really absolutely no threat of anyone invading or blowing away North Korea. There's probably more of a threat of another al Qaeda attack on the United States (re: very little chance) than the anyone bombing North Korea. No one actually gives a shit about North Korea and their stupid bottle rockets. China is a nice huge wall protecting them. So, no, they wouldn't be right.

    If everyone in NK could just like I dunno, turn their shirts inside out and instantly have the same rights and standard of living as a SK citizen has now, then yeah that probably would be an improvement. But there's no way that would happen. Even ignoring the inevitable armed conflict, the entire region would be primed to become a haven for human and drug trafficking. You know, more so than it already is. Then imagine what foreign capital would do to the land itself, again more so than it already has. It's a nightmarescape that I want to write a book about but hope never becomes a reality.

    Ehh... what? You must be seriously fucked up in the head if you are calling for fascist U.S. puppet regime to take over North Korea.
