Workers' Party of Korea set forth 5-Year Plan for Housing Construction
https://youtu.be/S7D4V0fH-QA Housing Construction to Be Conducted Extensively
The Eighth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea set forth the five-year strategy for national economic development between 2021 and 2025.
During the period, housing construction will be conducted extensively to provide the people with a more civilized life.
It is a popular policy of our Party and state to build houses at the state expense.
In the 2010s, a lot of houses were built amid the concern of the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the WPK.
Changjon Street was inaugurated in Juche 101(2012), Unha Scientists Street in Juche 102(2013), Wisong Scientists Residential District in Juche 103(2014), Mirae Scientists Street in Juche 104(2015) and Ryomyong Street in Juche 106(2017). After all, one street was built almost every year.
And new houses were built in different parts of the country including the farm city in the Jangchon area of Pyongyang City, Samjiyon City, a modern mountain city, in Ryanggang Province, the village at the Jungphyong Vegetable Greenhouse Farm in North Hamgyong Province, the rural village in the area of the Yangdok Hot Spring Resort in South Phyongan Province and the Tanphung fishing village on the shore of the East Sea of Korea.
Last year when everything was difficult, all people turned out as one to the struggle for recovery from natural disasters and built new houses for over 20,000 families in different parts of the country.
In the period of the five-year strategy for national economic development between 2021 and 2025, efforts will be concentrated on the construction of 50,000 houses in Pyongyang City, 10,000 houses every year, starting from this year.
In the Komdok area of South Hamgyong Province 25,000 houses will be built during five years. Five years later, the Komdok area will be changed into the world's only mining town and the gorge town unprecedented in history.

>>77 That the USSR occupied Korea is false. When the Red Army arrived, they didn't lay a finger on the people's committees that have organically formed. The People's Republic of Korea was founded:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_Korea It was the US that occupied the southern half, because there were communists in the provisional government. They then appointed Syngman Rhee as the president of "South Korea" which de facto caused the division of Korea. The founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north was a reaction to that. The video makes it look like the 38 parallel fell from the sky, and then baselessly claims that the USSR occupied the North while the Koreans wanted them out. This has no basis in reality and I'm not surprised that Americans seem to learn a propagandistic version of Korea conflict in school.
>North Korea is the country with the worst possible human rights situation in the world It's beyond me how one could claim that when countries like Saudi-Arabia exist where women only recently were allowed to drive or Israel that creates apartheid structures while occupying millions of people and bombing hospitals.

That's all. Then some think tanks cooked this up as some sort of generational punishment systems, but I don't know if the average North Korean even knows the term.

The purging of DPRK platforms off social media is so ridiculous to me. What is the government thinking, that those are seditious works? They don't even promote revolution, they just want to have friendly relations with other countries and show some cultural hot spots on Pyongyang. The fact that you are not even allowed to watch that should be a huge red flag in terms of credibility of what we are being told is the reality in North Korea.

Anyone read Wilfred Burchett's This Monstrous War? Enjoying it so far. Maybe it's just residual brain poison, but the Americans and their Southern puppets seem just cartoonishly inept, evil, and petty, while the Northern and Chinese troops are superheroic to a similar degree. My brain keeps telling me that there must be at least some exaggeration - things like civilians spontaneously switching to handsome white trad outfits the moment the Japanese get owned, maybe.

Let's talk about this document, the supposed proof that the DPRK really is democratic and has fair elections:
https://web.archive.org/web/20131016023953/http://www.asgp.info/Resources/Data/Documents/CJOZSZTEPVVOCWJVUPPZVWPAPUOFGF.pdf A very large portion of this is a North Korean government official giving a speech, followed by a Q&A with him. Did I miss something, or is there really a lack of independent investigation here? That, on top of the fact that the document kind of looks in bad condition, on top of being no longer available and having to be accessed through the Wayback Machine, I think indicates that this isn't that good of evidence to support the claim that DPRK elections are that legit. Are there any other sources that demonstrate that the country is a democracy or is it really not?

North Korea blasts K-pop industry as 'slave-like exploitation' amid crackdown on foreign media https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/asia/north-korea-kpop-criticism-intl-hnk/index.html K-pop is one of South Korea's most popular cultural exports with a growing reach around the world – but it seems that not everyone is fan.
Over the weekend, an article published by a North Korean propaganda website accused K-pop record labels of engaging in "slave-like exploitation" of hugely successful bands like BTS and Blackpink.
The piece on North Korea's Arirang Meari site claimed K-pop artists were "bound to unbelievably unfair contracts from an early age, detained at their training and treated as slaves after being robbed of their body, mind and soul by the heads of vicious and corrupt art-related conglomerates."
After years of poor economic performance, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to be doubling down on central planning as a way to spur growth, which he outlined as his top long-term priority for the regime at an important political meeting earlier this year. Some experts believe the renewed emphasis on government control extends to propaganda efforts and consumption of foreign content.
Though Kim's regime has long cracked down on people watching or reading foreign material, North Korea's rubber-stamp legislature passed a new law in December requiring citizens and organizations to prevent the "spread of the anti-socialist ideology" – in practice, that usually means any content that has not been approved by government censors. Kim in February also suggested that greater controls on societal content could be coming. He called for a more "intensified struggle against the anti-socialist and non-socialist practices than ever before."

Racial Discrimination Acts of the West Should Be Rooted Out http://www.mfa.gov.kp/en/racial-discrimination-acts-of-the-west-should-be-rooted-out/ The privileged class of the West becomes ever more frenzied in spreading white supremacy while asserting that all social instabilities are attributable to other races. This is aimed at easing the wrath of the people caused by daily widening gaps between the rich and the poor and absence of social rights and diverting an arrow of complaints against them.
In the Western society, the imprisonment and unemployment rates of other races are nearly six times and more than two times higher than those of the white respectively and even in school grounds where true morals of the humankind should be taught, more than 90% of the students of other races are subject to all kinds of insult, contempt and physical violence.
What is more serious is the fact that the West is not only shielding but also acquiescing in and manipulating the brutal racism against humanity legally and institutionally, posing itself as the guard of “freedom” under the cloak of “human rights protection”.
A certain country of the West has adopted it as a law to drive out other races from the residential area of the white and enforced its implementation. This clearly proves a revival of the past racial segregation system and a violation of “International Convention on the Suppression and the Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid”.
Now in Western countries, the policemen responsible for ensuring public security, are denounced as criminals notorious for committing racial discrimination acts. This fact itself is an example representative of how rigorously the racism has been institutionalized. It has become a usual practice that other races should put up with serious humiliation of being forced body-check upon arrest and inspection by the police and that many are killed by traffic accidents while running away to escape. Even if a riot police beat a black man to death, he is judged not guilty. This shows that the breeding place of racial discrimination is none other than the West.

Most Extreme Case of Hypocrisy http://www.mfa.gov.kp/en/most-extreme-case-of-turning-black-into-white/ Misanthropy is rife, hatred towards each other is widespread, and the number of homeless beggars has doubled, crowding the streets, while the privileged strata, who live off the blood of the people, and their mouthpiece are making a great publicity about the West, calling it as “paradise of freedom” and “beacon of democracy.”
When we take only a few Western countries for example, nearly 60 percent of working women are subjected to sexual harassment in their workplaces, and a great number of women, girls and female immigrants are victimized by all forms of violence such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation and forced labor.
Not being content with having transformed their own countries into the human rights wilderness, the Western countries are now openly setting up “exhibition halls of human rights violations” in other countries of the world, taking advantage of military aggression and overseas dispatch, all of which are perpetrated under the pretext of “protection of human rights”, “counter-terrorism” etc. Having corralled into such “halls” where misanthropy and chauvinism are rampant, the West is forcing other nations into tremendous disgraces and miseries, to include slaughter of the civilians, torture of the captured, maltreatment and sexual violence.
Also, the Western countries, which stirred up a hornet’s nest in every corner of the world by agitating for “freedom” and “democracy”, are driving the refugees – who are knocking at their doors after having escaped from the turbulences caused by the West – into the immoral and inhumane gate into the forced displacement and detention at the concentration camp.
No matter how a handful of forces view the human rights situation of our country, and no matter what reckless remarks they make, we will build with high pride the socialist paradise where all people live a happy life to be envied by the world.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2015/05/25/north-koreas-real-life-hunger-games-joseph-kim/ >source on the ground Okay:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/17/opinion/weapons-north-korea-hunger.html "As these stories show — and as I have seen during my 16 visits to North Korea in the past decade — hunger remains a way of life there. Forty-one percent of North Koreans, about 10.5 million people, are undernourished, and 28 percent of children under 5 years old have stunted growth. When my 4-year-old daughter visited Pyongyang in 2013, she, all of three feet, towered over children twice her age."
Granted part of this is due to sanctions, it still disproves the point that North Koreans aren't hungry.

Holy fuck I found this interview from Quartz with a literal capitalist who worked in North Korea and he BTFO'd some myths about the country.
https://archive.is/GZtDi I did take exception to him trying to force the concept of advertising into North Korean life but I suppose that's only his class interest speaking.
A few choice quotes:
"“Of course they had to make reports to the authorities and security officials when they got home,” Abt tells me, “but they also showed their photos with friends and family. People communicate a lot; you read all these horrible stories and think the people are all afraid to talk to each other because somebody’s always watching, but I did not have this impression, really. Of course they are cautious, but not overly so.”"
"For this reason, Abt takes exception to reports claiming that the North Korean regime will collapse once information begins “trickling in.”
“If that were true, the system should have collapsed a long time ago,” Abt says. “People know quite well what is going on. From the South Korean soap operas they watch at home to foreign books they read at the university, there is always some information. It’s not a hermetically-sealed country, and it never has been.”"

This shows that computers connected to the internet in North Korea are susceptible to malware and botnet infections, just like in any other country. There are computers in the country that communicate with Command and Control (C&C) servers of actors that most likely operate from overseas. This also means that massive port scans or
hack attempts originating from North Korean IP space could be the work of actors located elsewhere. "

THE GREAT FOUNDER ARCHTYPE As explained by Aristotle in Politics & yet he who first FOUNDED the state was the GREATEST of benefactors! pre-eminent in virtue as to surpass all others, then it is just that they should the royal family and supreme over all, or that this one citizen should be king of the whole nation. For, as I said before, to give them authority is not only agreeable to that ground of right which the FOUNDER of all states… are accustomed to put forward … but accords with the principle already laid down. For surely it would not be right to kill, or ostracize, or exile such a person, or… require that he should take his turn in being governed. The Whole is naturally superior to the part, and he who has this pre-eminence is in the relation of the Whole to a part. But if so, the only alternative is that he should have the supreme power, and that mankind should obey him, not in turn, but always!

Even when you do an image search for "North Korea slum", all the results are from Seoul.
>Most people use contaminated rivers Statistics from WHO and UNICEF show otherwise, and even the fucking CIA admits that the vast majority have access to improved water sources.
>musical performances actually come out of speakers Does this guy understand how microphones work?
>North Koreans are taught stuff like the leaders are able to predict the weather More propaganda about propaganda, like the story about them "believing that Kim invented the hamburger", or "believing that Kim scored a perfect hole in one game of golf on his first try".
This sort of bullshit is why they don't trust most tourists.

China accounts for over 90% of its trade. >Earlier this month, leader Kim Jong Un called on North Koreans to prepare for another "arduous march", referring to the devastating 1990s famine, underlying the severity of the economic crisis. >"Kim's speech … indicates how precarious its economy is now. Coupled with the fact that it needs fertiliser for the spring ploughing, it's no surprise that North Korea would agree to reopen its borders now," said Zhao Tong, a North Korea expert at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center in Beijing. >China's March exports to North Korea rose to a six-month high of $13 million, nearly 400 times combined January-February shipments, according to Chinese data.

The People, the Masters of Chollima >Chollima seems to dynamically soar high into the sky through clouds carrying on its back a male worker with the red letter of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea high in his hand and a female farmer with a sheaf of rice in her hand. They remind us that Kim Il Sung said that this was the era of the people and gave instructions to portray them and clearly show that the builders of this city, the masters of Chollima, were not individual heroes and heroines but the people. >Our people were very good in those days. They lived in half-underground houses and ate boiled corn with soybean paste as a side dish, but dedicated all their energy, wisdom and ardor to the country for the bright future of socialism and communism. They broke the rated capacity of their machines and produced more steel for the country to meet its needs. They made tractors and motortrucks without designs for themselves when the country needed them. >Today, too, the Korean people advance in the spirit of Chollima the way their predecessors did. They perform shining miracles in their work at their factories and cooperative farms in out-of-the-way mountain villages, in the sea and in all other parts of the country overcoming all manner of difficulties. It was nobody but Kim Il Sung who brought them up to be the dependable masters of Chollima with all devotion as always. >Indeed, the people became the new masters of the country and the honorable creators of the times under the care of Kim Il Sung. They will, no doubt, achieve the new victories of the revolution under the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Un who creditably carries forward the cause of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. >Looking up to the statue of Chollima all the people confirm their confidence and determination to live just like their predecessors who trusted and followed Kim Il Sung alone and marched forward toward victory and glory in the era of Chollima and loyally go along the road of the revolution all their lives under the leadership of the C.C., WPK. http://www.rodong.rep.kp/en/index.php?strPageID=SF01_02_01&newsID=2021-04-24-0001 https://archive.fo/TcadW Anonymous 2021-04-26 (Mon) 16:57:06 No. 12739

Is there any coercion in DPRK elections? There are a lot of sources (such as
https://1radio.co.uk/what-its-like-to-vote-in-north-korea/ ) that say voting is just putting a ballot, with one name on it written beforehand, and the result is always unanimous.

>>348 There are 687 "electoral zones", and each one of them elects one single congressperson.
After this first election, all of the elected people are summoned to assembly. They now discuss problems and elect each other to some positions. Some positions are not voted for, but actually selected by the presidium of the Supreme Popular Assembly (president and so on).
According to leninist tradition, elected candidates often don't leave their jobs, as the pay for a full-time politician is not higher than that of a teacher, for example
Kim Jong-Un also has to take part in this process. So when we read 'Kim elected with 100% of votes', it is only in a single electoral zone (far more likely to happen, since he is very popular anyways). Afterwards, he gets selected to be president by the presidium.
Info comes from here:

No one goes around asking if Laos is truly a workers paradise because nobody has been told to have an opinion on it (yet, give it a few years time when everyone suddenly becomes 'Laos Experts' when a crisis happens there like in Venezuela).
Just accept that you do not know anything about the DPRK and that everything you've been told is a lie. If you research the documents from the DPRK, you can make your own conclusions that what they are doing is not any different from what China does and they're only in this position out of force, they're investment laws are literally the same in China yet no one wants to invest in them.

She makes other such lies about the DPRK in exchange for lucrative payments, with the irony being that the ultimate goal of these false stories is the attempted justification of sanctions which will hurt the very people she says need help. There are times when her narratives are exposed, either by referencing the information to the stories of other defectors or to other existing information, to which she will resort to saying that her English isn't very good (which given her demonstrated ability, isn't very believable), or that she has a poor memory. However, the "poor memory" argument also points to her account being unreliable, if it is assumed to be true. On other occasions, Park has claimed that there is only one television channel in North Korea and that she has seen someone get executed for watching a western film, though North Korea is known to broadcast dubbed western films on national TV.

Actually, just googled it, there is some Australian guy:

First one most likely refers only to pre-socialist revolution era. But second?
>The democracy we aspire to is fundamentally different from that of Western capitalist countries, nor is it a slavish copy of that in a socialist country … Ours is a new type of democracy most suited to the reality of Korea. Kim Il Sung: “On Progressive Democracy’
Baik Bong: ‘Kim Il Sung: Biography’
But back to that "union with capitalist thing". I am misunderstanding article 37 of their 1992 constitution or something?
>The State shall encourage institutions, enterprises and organisations in our country to joint ventures and cooperation of enterprise with foreign corporations and individuals Did they change that?
Also, I've been reading more on juche idea, why according to Kim Jong Il the man is above biology
>Unlike biological beings, man is the master and transformer of, master of the world. He shapes his destiny on his own by transforming the objective world to meet his needs Kim Jong Il: ‘Socialism is a Science’
>Unlike all other living matter, which is subordinate to the objective world, man dominates and transforms the world in accordance with his will and desire Kim Jong Il: ‘On Some Questions in Understanding the Juche Philosophy'
Isnt it like hard turn into idealism, even Engels said that idealists believe that spirit of a man us superior (and is able to shape) nature in his work about Feurerbach. Not to mention they reject class based outlook after socialist revolution. (Something MLMs notoriously criticise ZSRR for)
>The basic criterion for deciding whether one is a member of the masses of the people or not is not one’s social and class origin, but one’s ideas. Anyone who loves the country, the people and the nation is qualified to be a member of the masses of the people Kim Jong Il: ‘Socialism is a Science'

Also could someone care to elaborate what Kim Jong Un was reffering to when citing a mistake in the running of the state recently, since it apparently is neither food nor covid related?

>>12877 The economic system and the new agricultural reforms are starting to look more like Tito's Yugoslavia. And the standard of life in general just remind me of Yugoslavia during the 80s. The economy is structured like the Yugoslav ones - with large soviet-style Zavodi, middle tier or less important director managed SOE's, and some limited private enterprise, especially in agriculture as I said. The impact of Yugoslavia on economic thought in the socialist world is sadly often underestimated.

>article 37 of 1992 constitution That is referring to limited cooperation and joint ventures with foreign capitalists (also involving a few limited SEZs) which is a concession they made for survival after the fall of the Eastern bloc.
But yes, a turn toward idealism is one of the main criticisms of Juche from other strands of ML and they do officially consider the class struggle within the territory they control to have ended ever since the 1972 constitution.
