A false and misleading comparison

                                                      


Events around the coronation of the new head of state of the UK have been used to slander and demonise the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK ) or to use the short-hand form People's Korea.

Some liberals, anarchists and people calling themselves leftists or socialists have been blaring that  "Its like North Korea " when referring to the arrests of anti-monarchy protesters. Our response to this is firstly, it is insulting to refer to the DPRK as 'north Korea ' rather than its proper title. Secondly, such statements are based on a number of false comparisons and show a lack of understanding. Thirdly, they are a slander on People's Korea trying to make out that the DPRK is a terrible place.

The DPRK is not a monarchy. Marshal KIM JONG UN is the elected head of state and was elected as general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea. In 2010 comrade KIM JONG UN was elected by the 3rd conference of the Workers Party of Korea (which represented millions of Party members and their families ) as vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers Party of Korea (WPK) and as a member of the Central Committee of the WPK. Later in April 2012 Marshal KIM JONG UN was elected to the top posts of the Party and state, by the Conference of the Workers Party of Korea  and by the Supreme People's Assembly . Under a monarchy, the head of state is not elected.

  There was no Coronation in the DPRK, no golden coaches, and no anointing with magic oils , instead ordinary working people voted for a new leader through the Party and representative organs such as the Supreme People's Assembly.

President KIM IL SUNG, the founder of People’s Korea and eternal leader of the country, came from a most humble background, he was the son of a poor peasant. He fought a 15-year-long armed struggle often sleeping in forests. As the leader of the DPRK had led a modest life , often dressed in the same clothes as workers and farmers and visited ordinary work units and villages many times .

  Chairman KIM JONG IL actually worked on construction sites in Pyongyang and at Lathe No 26 in the Pyongyang Textile Machine Factory . He wore the same parka for many years.  Rain, snow or sunshine , leader KIM JONG IL gave on the spot guidance. In the period of the "Arduous March" and "forced march" which lasted from September 1994 to December 1999 comrade KIM JONG IL gave on-the-spot guidance 247 times covering a distance of 129,000 km.

Marshal KIM JONG UN is a true people’s leader who also visits ordinary people and was first on the scene when parts of the country flooded.

The DPRK is a socialist country, it is based on the social and collective ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange. The people are the masters of everything. Marshal KIM JONG UN does not own any property or have any personal wealth . His residence etc is the property of the state.

There is no 'crushing of dissent ' in the DPRK. In fact people in the DPRK are able to discuss the planning of the economy at their workplaces and also run their own localities through the people's neighbourhood unit .

 In so-called  'democratic countries ' of the West , Real decisions are not made by elected bodies but actually by the big corporations the banks , the landowners and the upper echelons of the civil service , none of which are elected by the whole people . When did you ever vote for the boss of Amazon or Tesco? When Lloyds Bank took over TSB bank , did you vote for it , were you consulted ?. The simple answer is no!

 In People’s Korea, citizens have free housing, virtually free food , free health care ,free education and there is no taxation , therefore there is nothing for people to protest about .In People's Korea there is the single-hearted unity of the leader ,Party and masses which does not exist anywhere else in the world .

Lets Defend People's Korea with No Ifs or Buts and defend it against all enemies !
