Demystifying the DPRK: Part 1- The Myth of No Religious Freedom

The DPRK is hands-down the most mystified socialist state in the world. The government is considered irrational and crazy, Kim Jong Un is called a brutal dictator, and its people are said to be brainwashed and severely oppressed. The purpose of this series, Demystifying the DPRK, is to challenge widespread misconceptions and claims that we hear in the West. In Part one, we are focusing on religion. Most readers have probably heard the common claims: that there is no religious freedom, that owning a Bible is illegal, and that religious people are suppressed and persecuted by the state.  So let's take a closer look and see if we can clear up some of this. The Religious Landscape of the DPRK Before we begin, there is a vital fact we need to bear in mind when discussing this topic.  During the Korean War, US forces dropped 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm on the DPRK¹, killing 20% of the population.² This devastating atrocity left virtually no...

Debunking 3 Common Myths About Communism

There are countless lies about communism and socialist states repeated so often they’re treated as “common sense” by anti-communists. Trying to debunk all of them would be a huge task. But here I’m going to tackle three of the most common claims I keep hearing in conversations about communism.  These claims are: Communism doesn't work and can't provide a good quality of life for people.  The famine of 1932 was a genocide & people who live in socialist states are starving. The Gulag system is comparable to Nazi concentration camps and death camps. I’ll probably go into more detail on some of these myths in separate articles later, but for now, I hope this helps some comrades get to the bottom of some accusations often thrown at us. Myth 1: Communism doesn't work and can't provide a good quality of life for people. We’ve all heard it before: “Communism sounds great on paper, but it doesn’t work.” Unfortunately, the people who say this think they’ve come to that conclu...

The Xinjiang Lie

While this is old news in 2024, the western media is still talking about it and it seems that some people haven't caught up yet. Whenever there is a discussion about China, the US state department crafted narrative on Xinjiang is repeated again and again. So, if you aren't caught up yet, that's okay, let's catch you up.  Any honest look into this situation must begin with a crucial fact. If you look at the Global Terrorism Database , as of 2024, there have been 288 recorded terrorist attacks in China since 1989. When I initially looked into this a few years ago there was around 254 terrorist attacks, with a significant portion of them specifically in Xinjiang. People often understate and overlook how deep these problems ran in the area and how bad it was there for many years due to Islamic extremism. These weren't some minor attacks by irrelevant groups, but mass terror inflicted by multiple groups with various sources of funding and training. (we will get into this...
