It's honestly very cool to see this sort of post on such a big subreddit (LSC), whatever issues that sub has.
Breaking down anti-DPRK propaganda is such an interesting issue for moving people left. Nearly everyone (even many self-described leftists) in the imperial core believes the "Hermit Kingdom" mythos, but the history of the Korean War is simultaneously accessible, a real "history buff" topic, and serves as a whirlwind tour of every horrible action the U.S. took in the Cold War (especially starting it in the first place). South Korea has a similarly damning history that can be read from non-leftist sources.
Even more simply, the stories that circulate about the DPRK are so fantastical you can sometimes get people to think with just a "you really believe that?"
