What I don't understand is the "and humanize the people of the DPRK." line. Who is dehumanizing North Koreans, exactly? This is about their government. Regardless of how the government achieves this, be it coercion or brainwashing, you can still see them as people, ya'kno?

can a government simply organize that level of popular participation without the actual support of the people?

Umm, yes?

all it requires is some good old fashioned US bombers to tip things in the “peoples” favor? For a liberal this makes perfect sense.

No, it doesn't lol Liberalism isn't synonymous with 'Murica. I know, huge shocker.

That's some grade-A tankie shitposting, though. 👏
