Activists demand Biden and Congress end war on Korea
Washington, D.C. A National Mobilization to End the Korean War drew hundreds of people to several events here on July 27 and 28. July 27 was the 70th anniversary of the 1953 armistice that ended combat in the Korean War. That agreement — among the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) i
A news conference on July 27 in front of the U.S. Capitol featured a broad array of activists and organizations: Christine Ahn, Women Cross DMZ; Joy Gebhard, Divided Family Member; Rick Downes, Coalition of Families of Korean & Cold War POW/MIAs; Lt. General (Retired) Daniel P. Leaf, U.S. Air Force; Joyce Ajlouny, American Friends Service Committee; Hana Marie Kim, 30 Under 30 activist and high school student; and Barbara Lee, U.S. Congress member from California.
Following the press event, an emotional Han ceremony at the Foundry United Methodist Church gave the many participants of Korean ancestry an opportunity to express and manage the complex emotions of sorrow, resentment, grief, sadness and hope that afflict many members of families separated during the Korean War and the following seven decades of a divided Korea.
Later, a rally in front of the White House featured Echo Hyunsook Cho, Women Cross DMZ; Medea Benjamin, Code Pink; internet personality Nick Cho, “Your Korean Dad”; and other speakers. It was followed by a spirited mile-long march past the Korean War Veterans Monument to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where an interfaith vigil was held.

You are not Rudyard Kipling, carrying the white man's burden to enlighten savages. The colonized people of the world want you to leave them the fuck alone.
Ok.
Get used to it, as capitalism decays you, a liberal, will be defending more and more racist and fascist policies as the government tries to maintain profit and control.

Are these not the ten principles upon which the nation and its one party operate?
- We must give our all in the struggle to unify the entire society with Kimilsungism and Kimjongilism.
- We must honor the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il as the eternal leaders of our Party and the people and as the Sun of Juche.
- We must make absolute and desperately defend the authority of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the authority of the Party.
- We must be thoroughly armed with the revolutionary ideas of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the Party's lines and policies that are the realization of these ideas.
- We must adhere strictly to the principle of unconditional obedience in accomplishing the instructions passed on by the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and in the Party's lines and policies.
- We must strengthen by all possible means the entire Party's ideology, willpower, and revolutionary unity, centering on the Leader.
- We must learn from the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and adopt the noble mental and moral presence, revolutionary work methods, and people-oriented work style.
- We must value the political life we were given by the Party and the Leader and loyally repay the Party's trust and thoughtfulness with heightened political awareness and work performance.
- We must establish strong organizational regulations so that the entire Party, nation, and military move as one under the one and only leadership of the Party.
- We must pass down the great achievement of the Juche revolution and the Songun revolution, pioneered by the great Comrade Kim Il Sung and led by Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, from generation to generation, inheriting and completing it to the end.
Doesn't sound like a democracy to me.
"We should strengthen the people with our revolutionary philosophy, and be respectful of the people who helped us free ourselves from Imperialism" is not the nuclear take you think it is.
Nothing about this is counter to a revolutionary democracy.
Well, you can also try offering research, but good luck convincing one antisocialist to read any of it for more than ten seconds. You’ll have more fun pulling your own teeth.
Lol ok. I thought you were serious.
The tactic of "everyone who disagrees with me does not really hold these beliefs, but must actually be joking/a bot/paid" is quite useful for maintaining a warped image of the world in your head
Right, but you're not arguing beliefs, you're claiming a circle is a square. It's more than just disagreement, it's dishonesty and it means discussing anything with you is a waste of time.
You are doing it again. You claim that i'm not honest, to decieve your brain into denying my existence.
And you're lying again. I didn't say you don't exist. I said you're a liar, in case that wasn't clear before.
fuck you idiot shill for the fascists harder lmfao you're arguing with yourself because everyone else knows this situation
i literally know people who escaped that awful country, do you?
fuck you idiot shill for the fascists harder lmfao you're arguing with yourself because everyone else knows this situation
The DPRK is not fascist.
I literally know people who escaped that awful country, do you?
No you do not
lolok
Big internet, lotta people, many viewpoints. I don't mind an honest discussion of opposing ideologies. But I don't think that's what's happening here. I suspect there's a concerted effort to make certain ideologies seem more popular than they actually are.
Who's concerting this effort?
This line is one of the most offensive from you bourgeois fuckers. So many of us are struggling workers. Where are these CPC checks? Where are these millions of rubles I'm owed?
Shut the hell up. We're human beings.
nah fuck your conspiracy mind. the dprk is shit and kim is a trash leader who needs to be ousted before progress can happen
