Communism In North Korea

mmunism. After North Korea’s invasion of South Korea, it became evident that South Korea’s survival required outside intervention. The United States was to take action alone, but reconsidered due to the high risk of a Soviet and Chinese response and then referred the issue to the United Nations where member nations were asked to provide assistance to South Korea. Therefore, the Korean war was an international war in which the United States used the United Nations to Further its anti-communist policies due to the fact that communism was democracy’s greatest enemy.

The current government that North Korea has in place in its country is a communist state. Communism can be defined as advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. North Korea’s major political party is the Korean Workers’ Party (KWP) and has been governed by the Kim dynasty since 1946. North Korea also has minor parties such as the Chondoist Chongu Party and the Social Democratic Party (Both run by the KWP). All political parties are controlled by the “Supreme Leader” and appoints members to political positions as needed. The people of North Korea refer to whoever is leading the government as “Supreme Leader.” Currently, North Korea’s “Supreme Leader” is Kim Jong Un and he was elected, unopposed, in December 17, 2011. The biggest concern with North Korea’s government is that they do not possess any diplomatic representation in the United States, nor does it posses any diplomatic representation from the United States.

An impoverished country of more than twenty five million people, North Korea, also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) was founded by the revolutionary leader Kim IL Sung after the end of World War II. North Korea began as an independent kingdom for much of its long history. Both North and South Korea were under Japanese control in 1905 until the country was split after the end of World War II. Located in eastern Asia in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, bordering the Korea Bay and the Sea of Japan, North Korea sits in a strategic location bordering China, Russia, and South Korea. North Korea is slightly larger than the state of Virginia, but slightly smaller than the state of Mississippi and is mostly comprised of large mountains and steep hills separated

The country of Korea has been in turmoil for centuries and was founded on its turmoil of being unified and separated. Several objects stand in the way of them being unified once more the DPRK prefers communism while the ROK prefers Democracy both sides want to be united but can’t due to different morals, beliefs, and political views. And the history of Korea hasn’t always been pleasant due to wars and the attempted colonization of Korea by the Japanese.

the Korean War (1950-1953) was a direct outcome of the Cold War; as U.S. forces fought to stem the expansion of communism

Despite these cruelties, there may be a silver lining in the future for these workers. Just a few days ago on May 4th the House of Representatives passed a new bill that will impose new sanctions on North Korea (NY Post). These sanctions are aimed at North Korea’s use of foreign slave labor, at an attempt to limit the regime’s physical cash flow as much as possible, while simultaneously requiring the Trump administration to decide whether or not to label North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism within the next 90 days (NY Post). If so, it will lead to another round of sanctions that may constrict North Korea even further (NY Post). If the regime is unable to reap the rewards of some of the slaves that they own, this may be able to limit

North Korea is a communist country filled with many beliefs and power over their people. The country has been a big talk lately making big news in media. They seem to be the center of attention. What’s behind all the controversy? North Korea is an oppressive regime because human rights aren’t allowed and free speech isn’t given.

North Korea’s regime has a tight grip on its citizens. The surveillance system is oppressive as well an invasion to the citizen’s human rights. But in North Korea the words “human rights” don’t exist, because the regime has such a harsh oppressive grip on them. There’s a stark contrast between the oppressive grip of North Korea and their bordering neighbor of South Korea because of their prison camps that are installed into their society. In comparison, North Korea is becoming eerily similar to the Soviet Union during Stalin’s reign.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, better known as North Korea, is a country in east Asia. North Korea officially describes itself as a socialist state, but it is widely recognized as a dictatorship. Kim ll-sung is the first supreme leader of North Korea, and the grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong Un. Under the regime of the Kims, North Korea isolated itself away from the rest of the world. It is a perfect archetype of a “closed society”. Since the beginning of the rule of the Kims, the condition in North Korea have worsened, where citizens have little to no civil rights.

At the onset of the Cold War, between the United States and the Soviet Union, the people of Korea could not have foreseen the critical role their relatively small nation would play in world affairs over proceeding generations. The separation and subsequent rise of the North Korean state has given rise to, what is widely considered the most oppressive regime in modern history. This regime, unfortunately, has managed to gain control of some of the most destructive weaponry known to humanity. The people of North Korea are captives to the imaginations of its dictatorial leadership and unless the great efforts for reform receive pressure from without or within,

China during Mao’s reign as leader of the Communist party shared many similarities with post WWII North Korea. However, due to major party and geographic differences, China was able to move forward as an international and economic power, while North Korea has stayed relatively the same in international and domestic policy since Kim Il Sung’s reign as dictator. By comparing how both countries started their communist regimes, and the policies that were/are enacted at the height of the party’s power, one can see how two nations can have (both very much and very little in common).

Have you ever wondered if these three sources had any dystopian characteristics in them? The first on that will be talk about is how a figure or concept is worship by the citizens.

North Korea is well known as a totalitarian dictatorship run by Kim Jong Un, son of the late dictator, Kim Jong Il. Over the years, people have grown more aware of the country’s mistreatment of its own people and lack of desire to become a democracy.

North Korea is a communist nation of closed doors and kept secrets. The citizens of that country face daily circumstances that most of us do not encounter during our lifetime. The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, has a family dynasty that has ruled for multiple decades. The North Korean government prefers that their country be referred to as the “Democratic People's Republic of Korea”, but this country is neither democratic nor republic. Most countries shorten the country of Democratic People's Republic of Korea name by simply referring to it as North Korea. This title came from Soviet Union communist influence, during the mid-1900's.

Ideology can be looked at different perspectives of the way people think about it. Some people think that ideology is bad, while some people think it is good. Ideology takes a very harmful way in Christianity; Pope Francis explains to Christians that ideology drives away the church and the people. In his perspective of mind, ideology is a “serious illness.”(Dolan) In some other places such as North Korea, ideology is a “dangerous belief system.” North Koreans Ideology is most commonly referred as “Juche,” this ideology is harmful to people because most people would like to praise people who do good things, but in North Korea people have to pray to a dictator who is capable of killing, torturing, and murdering his own people.
