Thoughts and Reflections about the demonization of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea .

As Dr Dermot Hudson wrote in his book ‘ In Defence of the Juche Korea ‘  'The intensity of this campaign of vilification [of the DPRK] is something quite abnormal.' . This is indeed true .

  The propaganda against the DPRK is day in day ,day out , sometimes on an hourly basis .

  The demonisation of  People’s Korea is irrational , obsessive and maniacal . It even extends to friends and supporters of the DPRK particularly the Korean Friendship Association who regularly face being cancelled , having their rights denied or simply not listened to or ostracised .

 Much of the rancour against People’s Korea by ruling elites in the West and their hirelings in the mainstream media and cosy academia  is due the simple fact that the DPRK is a socialist country and opposes imperialism . The DPRK is seen as the last bastion of socialism by the ruling elite .

  However hostility and prejudice against People’s Korea actually goes far beyond the hostility towards the old  USSR . After all in some films such as the ‘Billion Dollar Brain ‘ or ‘Letter to Brezhnev ‘ , the Soviets were the good guys or at least given the benefit of the doubt ( it can be argued that the USSR under Khruschov and later under Gorbachov was  to some extent de facto allies of the West ) .However there are no films produced by Western countries that put the DPRK in a good light . The demonisation is 100 percent and without compromise .

  Similarly the demonisation of the DPRK goes beyond that of Islam  by the West . 

There is a hidden reason , a buried reason for the hostility towards that DPRK , it is racism . Being anti -DPRK is the acceptable form of racism for the modern liberal . By demonising the DPRK on a regular basis liberals can find an outlet for racism which otherwise they dare not express openly .

Underneath  stuff about ‘personality cults ‘ ‘ human rights ‘ and ‘nuclear weapons ‘ there is racism , irrationality , insecurity , superstition ,plain ignorance and bigotry .

We in KFA will continue to unmask and expose the real reasons behind the demonisation of People’s Korea.
