[NEWS] South Korea offers peace treaty to North Korea

[Juncoph]

why do these crazy hyper regimes always happen in asia, anyway? first taiping, then imperial japan, then north korea

it's like mixing western ideology and asian culture has a 10% chance of brutal side effects every time you do it

edit: and before anyone mentions them- national socialist germany cannot hold a candle to imperial japan on a fanatical basis

national socialist germany was murderous, but the germans (excluding the SS brass) weren't suicidal. meanwhile, the allies expected up to 10 million japanese losses in operation downfall (aka the invasion plan that was scrapped when the nukes convinced hirohito)

i think its just that asian civilizations have always been pretty brutally violent in history. the mongols are a good example

[Drydess]

then after that communism forgeted over the entire region
along with that though the terrain isn't really built for big elaborate empires

what a loving waste of time

Keep in mind that South Korea is a pretty bad place, too. They aren't a dictatorship anymore, but the people get worked to death like they are. North Korea shouldn't be a Stalinist dictatorship anymore, but living conditions will not improve if they take after South Korean familial-heirarchial capitalism.

Granted, nothing will repair NK's reputation either way.

A dictatorship transitioning to cruel authoritarian capitalism certainly will not be the change these people need. They're already "communist," mught as well fix what's already in place.

Is it hard to believe there are multiple communists here? Leisuresuit is here as well.

[Nonnel]

maybe the change they need is a non-authoritarian government??

Non-authoritarian socialism exists.

yes. you "joined" the forums just a few days ago and almost immediately started posting political stuff. you've racked up 3 pages worth of posts so far and almost all of them are about your communist views. it's very obvious that you're an alt of kimon. give up the act already.
