Reading the history of the Korean war is a gutwrenching experience . The sheer scale of violence subjected to those people is hard to comprehend by people like me. From a point onwards you just look at the numbers and descriptions and all that register is a deep deep sadness and anger . Just the bombing campaign numbers are mind boggling
It was flowering and budding Communist movement with optimism which then had their country cut in half by the imperialist bastards and 20 percent of the population killed in the North. For example read Anna Louise Strongs report from DPRK in 1949 on how optimistic the Koreans were , how all the landlords and reactionaries fled south to find haven under Sygman Rhees (a Korean-American flown in to run the puppet) dictatorship and how they had to suppress Communism in the South through mass executions but still had no legitimacy and were ready to crumble like paper without US assistance
Can you personally imagine a life where 1 in 5 people you know is murdered by imperialists and the effects this would have on your society. Where you begin to decolonize, liberate and unite your people into building a free and communist future ( a movement that would have easily succeeded without foreign imperalist invasion ) but in the span of a couple of years end up looking around and seeing literal hell on earth. Seeing not a single building standing. And seeing the monsters that did it occupying the other half of your country and people ?
I'm pretty sure this is the book being quoted here by our comrade, for anybody interested.
