    They do the same thing with the DPRK. The page is just called North Korea and the article begins with,

    North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is ...

    It really is just completely unexplained and overtly racist nonsense that liberals have no excuse for. They don't even think about it. They just know that they :us-foreign-policy: don't have the right to name their own countries, and our names for them are Correct and Freedom™.

        I thought it was to make it look like CCCP, which would still be an extremely lib reason.

        cause I do basically the same thing in reverse by saying “the DPRK” and “South Korea”

        See, you're actually not doing it in reverse though, because you're not racist. Wikipedia, a racist website written by racists, does not do this based on ideology. As far as Wikipedia editors are concerned, all Koreans equally lack the right to name their countries. Behold

        I do basically the same thing in reverse by saying “the DPRK” and “South Korea” to cheekily deny the south the legitimacy of a real name

        Every time a lib at work mentions an invention of 'Korea's' I ask North or South cause I know they hate the DPRK.
