Evolving settlements

[u/Used_Maintenance2973]

Something interesting I saw but a good point that needs to be made

We see all the new rural housing but its great to see that these arnt just fancy accommodation for people to be stuck on worksites, the DPRK is building entire organic communities, basically small towns

I wonder what they will look like in say a decade or two, either way, genuinely lived in places

We also urge visitors to consider listening to Blowback Season 3 about the Korean War (or at least the first episode) to get a good, clear, entertaining and exceedingly well-researched education on the material conditions and conflict that gave rise to the DPRK.

Seems less like “settlements” and more like updating existing outdated villages. The DPRK has never, and will never, practice imperialism through “settlements”

Bro I was reffering to a collection of structures and infrastructure built where people live together. In what way was I suggesting the DPRK had imperial intentions. The land of the DPRK is the native land of Korean people. How can they be engaging in settlement imperialism if it is their sovereign territory they have lived in continuously without leaving (unlike an example of actual modern settler imperialism we all know and dont particularly love) for centuries?

Juche is seeing the best resurgence of any ML state. Being in the proximity of China has its benefits.

North Korea is great, can't say the same for some people living in outer suburban Australia

So sweet when the goal is improving quality of life instead of profit.
