    I guess Japan and Korea must be communists then with their extensive and reliable train networks.

        Ahhh yes, recognising the state that doesn’t shoot ‘defectors’ and run concentration camps is better is ‘coloniser morality’.

        Also how exactly was South Korea colonised? Other than by Imperial Japan of course.

        A democratically elected government was assisted in repelling invasion from an authoritarian regime.

        Sounds familiar to some current events really.

          South Korea is an American vassal state. South Korea’s military is fully under the control of the US military. I know of no other purportedly sovereign country with such a setup.

            South Korea is a democracy and North Korea is an authoritarian dictatorship.

            You’re tankie scum if you think the North is better.

          They were bombed to shit by the US whose military is still occupying them to this day…

          of course the state that did that and wants to maintain any veneer of democracy would twist itself in knots to convince you that it was the right thing to do.

            The North is an authoritarian dictatorship that sends defectors families to labor camps.

            If you think that’s better than the South then you have problems.
