Unless that truth is that both North and South Korea are currently being utilized as a buffer state between two imperialist governments......

My family fled the dictatorship in South Korea in the 80's, back when being a member of a student Union was a poor choice for your health. So I'm never going to try and rehab or revise the modern history of South Korea.

That being said, why would anyone ever give uncritical support to a totalitarian dictatorship? Il-sung wasn't chosen by the Korean people, he was a puppet replacement offered by China because Godang sided with the will of the Koreans, and opposed the trusteeship proposed by soviets and America.

That cluster fuck of a family has killed more of my people through both incompetence and malice than both the Chinese and Americans combined. I hate that people are willing to excuse crimes against humanity because the color of a nations flag.
