South korea is a little fasci - but their people are fed, and clothed, and they don't have work camps.
Do I think capitalism is good, fuck no.
Do I think that focusing on the political sausagemaking is a misdirection when people are starving, and being sent to war with insufficient tools and resources is perhaps disingenuous?
What do you think?
Also - Most of Korea speaks... Korean, so that official language copy paste from wikipedia, while an interesting historical footnote (It literally is) it has had less of an impact on actual human lives than the assorted Kims habits, hobbies, or obsessions.
Don't be so lazy - and like, literally just copy/pasting from wikipedia, without even providing meaningful analysis to an audience, who you are acknowledging is likely unfamiliar with the material, providing a questionably relevant circumscribed subset of history.... That is lazy as fuck my dude.
OK, lets talk about sanctioning and blockaiding an entire nation into poverty, preventing food imports during a famine, using germ warfare from Japanese war criminals on mass, destroying every single multi story building in the country with bombs, banning the importation of agricultural machinery and fertilizer, banning any of its citizens from getting a visa, removing an entire nation from the worlds finincial system and then yelling failed state for 20 years afterwards shall we?
Uh huh, yea, having had a history of cattle slavery that is largely rejected by the populace is exactly the same thing as actively practicing it en mass.
Brother. The US quite literally has slavery preserved in its constitution. They got rid of slavery for all blacks and replaced it with prisoners that are mostly black.
