Babe wake up a new litmus tests for leftists might pop up soon
I know most western "leftists" would unfortunately eat up the state department line on this like it was candy. NK might as well be Mars to the average person here.
Not quite; westerners believe photographs of mars are real.
Support for NK was always very meager, even worse than Russia. So expect a lot of both sideism.
I would be surprised if we even get that tbh. A lot of western "leftists" would probably say that any action is justified to destroy the evil Kim regime.
Surely, supporting the free democratic South against the evil fascist imperialist North is the true leftist position. Yes, the south is capitalist and capitalism bad but the north is capitalister because Kim owns everything. Yes, the south is supported by the US and America bad but this time America will be different I'm sure.
Also, being invaded by the South will lead to epic mild social democracy in the north! They'll be just like Sweden, the pinnacle of leftism!
