Sources:

United States:

"5. North Korean Overseas Workers (OP8): Requires countries to expel all North Korean laborers earning income abroad immediately but no later than 24 months later (end of 2019)."

United Nations:

"Strengthens the ban on providing work authorizations for DPRK nationals by requiring Member States to repatriate all DRPK nationals earning income and all DPRK government safety oversight attachés monitoring DPRK workers abroad within their jurisdiction within 24 months from 22 December 2017."

Meanwhile the DPRK has no official restriction on the people's free movement.

Blaming others for one's own actions has got to be one of the greatest propaganda achievements in human history.

In totalitarian United States, their borders are filled with armed guards who will restrain you and question you for days if you try to cross.

clearly unrealistic, Yeonmi Park isn't supposed to tell the truth

It is ironic how the US is causing all the protectionism and sanctions against their Liberal principle of free trade when the US had been criticizing anti-imperialists for the obstruction of free trade. It is as if the Pax Americana advocates were projecting their anti-Liberal actions on people of colors who demand democracy, meritocracy, and rule of law. Is the Western European liberals also the ones who provide the most support for command economy with the Bretton Woods Institutions that became the de facto government on the global economy even when they tried to deny this hypocrisy with their redefinition of Capitalism (government by for-profit firm owner), Socialism (government by working class), and dictatorship of the Proletariat (government by workers in modern American redefinition)?

I read somewhere that the DPRK is sitting on several trillions of dollars worth of raw materials. Allowing the DPRK to trade freely would mean they could move massive amounts of goods, making them a rich country. And then people would see how socialism could benefit a country and revolt lol.

But could the Pax Americana frame success by people of color as a problem that incurs unsustainable huge sacrifices or a problem that increase complecency just like the success by free riding Western European diaspora who lived on the innovation and skilled labor of other people? They did claim that success by Russia, China, Iran, and Iraq will make the people of color into the most evil countries and that the Liberals and Bretton Wood institutions need to establish an international command economy that overrides the authority of the invisible hand of the market to compensate for the laziness of the Liberals.

89% decrease of refined petroleum imports since summer 2017

This is violence. No, not even violence. Premeditated murder for god's sake! This is fucking revolting, I can't even begin to think how to communicate my anger.

I see they ban dprk from getting needed materials to build or move stuff.... That's depressing.

What does this line mean in the link "DPRK government safety oversight attachés"

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I think it's referring to political attaches accompanying people abroad.

[-] SapphicFemme@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Why do they accompany them?

[-] juchenecromancer@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I think the name is pretty self-explanatory, they monitor the working conditions of DPRK guest workers. Pretty nice actually

[-] SapphicFemme@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds nice :)

Your UN source does not work. Mine( http://unscr.com/en/resolutions/doc/2397 ) simply says that the UN is worried about proliferation of nuclear weapons and that that may constitute a destabilising factor

[-] TheGamingLuddite@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Assuming good faith, the liberal notion that the UNSC in this case is acting out of a neutral concern about nuclear weapons is completely contradicted by the reality that similar restrictions aren't placed on Israel.

Israel has an illegal arsenal of nuclear arms and a stated policy of massive retaliation. Its nuclear arms are also in violation of the NPT which is cited in your UN source repeatedly. It is also an American proxy state, established through terrorism and expanded through racial violence and settler colonialism. Its nuclear arsenal exists to safeguard the continued expansion of this racial violence, genocide and apartheid.

The US has historically used intimidation and coercion to manipulate the UNSC against its geopolitical enemies, and this is no exception. The US waged a genocidal war against the DPRK during the 1950s, which is still technically ongoing. The war effort not only involved massive bombings of civilian infrastructure, but also assistance to the RoK government, staffed by myriad Japanese collaborators, in murdering anyone suspected of sympathy with the DPRK.

Pleass ask yourself why the DPRK is subject to a legally binding UNSC resolution, while Israel gets a gentle suggestion from the UNGA to pwetty pwease disarm for the exact same crime, though with drastically different motives.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

If you haven't already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a private Matrix room. See this thread for more information.
