          It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Korean unification is a long term goal of both countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_reunification

          I'm a communist, you're not if you think NK is some model we should follow. In fact, no Western leftist actually takes NK as a model, their "support" is purely based on aesthetics and completely misguided geopolitics. NK is already a capitalist country, joining SK doesnt require removing their sovereignity, at least they would drop their mismanaged command economy and enjoy some economic development.

            So wait, they have a command economy but are also a capitalist country? And where are their capitalists? 🤣

              The state performs the role of the capitalist for the large firms. They also have SEZs with foreign investment, they have a huge black market, and they also have many self-employed people. Quite a few of their businesses are state-run in writing but actually ran as private businesses. They also suffer from massive corruption all around.

              Capitalism is not just markets and private ownership, the fundamental element in capitalism is commodity production. This is one of the key findings of Marx. It is a Stalinist revisionism that you can have "socialist commodity production".
