Socialist Art: "Woman Builder" by Kim Guang Chol.
This painting by North Korean artist Kim Guang Chol shows the prominent role women play in throughout DPRK society, who alongside w/ the men are building a Socialist economy in accord w/ the collective principles of Juche.
2/Just as American women played important roles during World War II (👇), North Korean women play equally vital roles in North Korea TODAY in every aspect of DPRK society, reflecting the preeminence in Socialism of the "dictatorship of the proletariat".
3/The proletariat are "working people". In the DPRK there are 3 main "classes" of people: Workers (hammer), farmers (sickle) & intellectual class (calligraphy brush). There is solidarity among the 3 classes & the WPK works for the welfare of everyone: "One for all & all for one."
4/Capitalism & Socialism, very different, yet we - people - live by both paradigms. It's time to start building bridges b/t the two to make the world a better place, instead of propping up walls which only divide. ☮️

John Lee purports that "South Korean pop music & television dramas" "terrify the North Korean regime [more than] American military might or South Korean spies". Yet in the "war of ideas" DPRK follows Socialism wherein the proletariat trumps the bourgeoise.

2/He says: “The people were isolated from foreign information and ideas and the elites got to stay in power.”

Wangjaesan Dance Troupe dancing to Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock is proof positive that DPRK studies & assimilates foreign high culture
3/from within its borders

The DPRK in reality isn't a hermit kingdom but a socialist nation following Kim Jong-il's maxim to "plant feet in our land, and lift eyes to see the world."

A lesson on causality: By maintaining the line "that we cannot accept a nuclear North Korea":
1) You are twice the idiot for thinking/believing NK will capitulate to CVID
2) Close the door to DPRK negotiating a Maximum limit to # of nukes & ICBMs
3) Leave to door open to NK
2/NK pushing for Maximum nuclear deterrence. SLBM will certainly follow. Why? B/c NK "sleeps better at night" knowing it has a nuclear deterrent that'll keep US from attacking. This translated into SECOND STRIKE CAPABILITY.
4/Are the world's biggest hypocrite. Does Washington
3/suffer from psychogenic amnesia forgetting John Bolton has advocated US doing a preemptive nuclear first strike on NK? You don't counter that w/ CVID but by developing 2nd-strike capability.

I have read the tea leaves & conclude: US-NK relations will remain stagnant to 2024.✌️
