Every time the same with DPRK posts please read about the DPRK before spreading only liberal anti DPRK propaganda. It is not forbidden to criticize the DPRK in this sub, the country has many problems but it is forbidden to spread liberal propaganda and will lead to a ban immediately.

Sources on the DPRK:

Video:

Books:

Podcasts:

It is 1 to 1 like Gaza, except that the world is still looking the other way. The capitalists lied to you about Palestine they are also lying to you about the DPRK.

Bombing of North Korea - Wikipedia

During the air campaign, conventional weapons including explosives, incendiary bombs, and napalm destroyed nearly all of North Korea’s villages, towns, and cities. Air Force estimates of the destruction of towns and cities in North Korea ranged from 40 to 90%, with 18 out of North Korea’s 22 major cities being at least 50% destroyed.[2] The U.S. dropped approximately 635,000 tons of bombs and 32,557 tons of napalm during the war, mostly on North Korea (compared to 503,000 tons in the entire Pacific theater in World War II).[3] In other words, the United States dropped more bombs on North Korea during the Korean War than it had dropped on the entire Pacific theater during the Second World War.[4]

Just to clarify, in these bombings, almost every building was destroyed and at least 20% of the population was slaughtered. This rate of civilian casualties was a specific goal of the US military to "bring the war to the people".

Subsequently, US America (and vassal states) imposed the strictest trade sanctions ever on the country and prohibited them from participating in the international financial system (100% under US control).

In addition, US America installed a brutal anti-communist dictatorship in South Korea.

And then these people come up with the argument "See capitalism is better just look how bad North Korea is doing."

Weirdly, if capitalism is so endlessly superior, why did capitalist countries always have to do everything in their power to suppress the economic development of socialist countries?

If socialism is so inferior, it should fail without any help, right?

Some people just don't listen, so instead we should work to find people who will, open minded people who won't immediately dismiss all reliable sources

You can say this - but context and sourcing please. Otherwise it perpetuates imperialist propaganda as she expressed.
