A news conference on July 27 in front of the U.S. Capitol featured a broad array of activists and organizations: Christine Ahn, Women Cross DMZ; Joy Gebhard, Divided Family Member; Rick Downes, Coalition of Families of Korean & Cold War POW/MIAs; Lt. General (Retired) Daniel P. Leaf, U.S. Air Force; Joyce Ajlouny, American Friends Service Committee; Hana Marie Kim, 30 Under 30 activist and high school student; and Barbara Lee, U.S. Congress member from California.
Following the press event, an emotional Han ceremony at the Foundry United Methodist Church gave the many participants of Korean ancestry an opportunity to express and manage the complex emotions of sorrow, resentment, grief, sadness and hope that afflict many members of families separated during the Korean War and the following seven decades of a divided Korea.
Later, a rally in front of the White House featured Echo Hyunsook Cho, Women Cross DMZ; Medea Benjamin, Code Pink; internet personality Nick Cho, “Your Korean Dad”; and other speakers. It was followed by a spirited mile-long march past the Korean War Veterans Monument to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where an interfaith vigil was held.
Maybe Amerikkkan forces should accept that they lost the Korean War and stop occupying the South.

Korean unification has support in both North and South.
Cap
The U$ should stop occupying and oppressing Korea
No, mate, it’s completely true: Kim Jong‐un is starving millions and millions of innocent people simply because he has nothing better to do with his time. Trust me, all of my entrepreneurial Korean friends can back me up on this.

The South Korean government is a puppet propped up by the U$.

I’m sure the leader that’s so far right his ideology is called “k-trumpism” represents the views of every single Korean. I’m sure the average SK resident supports have poor quality food for poor people, doubled down patriarchy, and reduced wages for workers.
The people of occupied Korea yearn for the 96 hour work week. They actually love it when our stupid fucking troops run over their kids with tanks.
Hell yeah, I too get my information about my country’s rivals from propaganda outlets and seth rogen movies

Dang, you watch CNN and NBC? What a varied media environment.
No you’re not, you love this shit
Would these be the same sources of information that said covid is over, there’s not a recession, Ukraine doesn’t have a nazi problem, Russia is about to lose the war, China is sending balloons to spy on you, and Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?

Explain why the US occupying South Korea is better than reunification under the DPRK.

We’re arguing with him because he’s wrong, and a white supremacist.
Why do you think you know more about how the DPRK should work than they do?

You are not Rudyard Kipling, carrying the white man’s burden to enlighten savages. The colonized people of the world want you to leave them the fuck alone.

Get used to it, as capitalism decays you, a liberal, will be defending more and more racist and fascist policies as the government tries to maintain profit and control.

If you can say it’s true without providing proof, I can say it’s not the same.
They are under siege and constant threat of aggression. The U$ is the aggressor.
Fuck off, cracker

“We should strengthen the people with our revolutionary philosophy, and be respectful of the people who helped us free ourselves from Imperialism” is not the nuclear take you think it is.
Nothing about this is counter to a revolutionary democracy.
Well, you can also try offering research, but good luck convincing one antisocialist to read any of it for more than ten seconds. You’ll have more fun pulling your own teeth.

Wow! There are people who want to make communism more popular? On lemmygrad? I don’t believe you.
Who’s concerting this effort?
This line is one of the most offensive from you bourgeois fuckers. So many of us are struggling workers. Where are these CPC checks? Where are these millions of rubles I’m owed?
Shut the hell up. We’re human beings.
