A brief review of "A Marxist Critique of Songun " Do not buy it is rubbish and a rip off
I have now read Mr Jason Unruhes "Critique of Songun " . Firstly ,
195 pages of this 245 page book basically nearly 80 % of the book is
actually copied and pasted from the KASS course on the Songun idea and
Songun politics on the Naenara website. Some may say that this is fair
because Unruhe is actually using genuine DPRK source material unlike
some writers , however it also means that you download free of charge on
the naenara website a large part of the
book without pay #18 for it ! . The actual "critique" of Songun is only
50 pages and consists of garbled and confused ramblings by the author
showing that his understanding and knowledge of the DPRK are limited and
superficial . He claims the DPRK has defined the military as a class ,
this is not true . He is totally unaware of the struggle of the great
leader President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il against warlord
bureaucratism and the purge of the warlord bureaucrat faction in the
army in 1969. Jason also claims that the DPRK is Confucian or influenced
by Confucianism and extols Mao’s struggle against feudal Confucianism but is
totally unaware that President Kim Il Sung repeatedly attacked
Confucianism in his speeches for example at the 5th congress of the Workers Party of Korea. Space does not permit a full and
devastating rubbish which is more or less a rehash of NK News type
slanders and the theories of bourgeois academics but I hope to publish
later this year or early next year my own refutation and a defence of
Songun . Basically do not pay heed to this buffoon and the book is
certainly a rip off !
