You know that there are death camps in North Korea to this day right? Where as South Korea does not have any death camps.

US went out of its way to stop the spread of the communism and destabilize socialist countries in the 20th century. I think these foreign policy decisions were a mistake. Our focus should be on a country’s political structure and not its economic structure.

Afghanistan HAD democracy under the DRA

One party systems are not democracy. edit: spacing

And Iraq, this MUST be the single democratic war fought by the U.S. right?

This is a straw man. I don’t agree with the war in Iraq. Read my comments if you don’t believe me. Iraq gained democracy which is the only silver lining I can think of but their government has since backslid to the detriment of the Iraqi people. Hopefully they will make a course correction.

Say that bs “oh I guess they weren’t ready for democracy” nonsense again I dare you. You don’t deserve to prance around these topics and “learn” by defending horrific atrocities and seeing what responses you get.

Democracy cannot be forced. If people don’t fight to defend it, it will be taken away. edit: grammar

I’ve spent a lot of time learning about these topics because they interest me. But I’m certainly not an expert.

I’ll get around to the comment you addressed to me but:

Death camps are camps used for killing people, usually in a semi-industrialized fashion. The DPRK has never had these. It has prison labor, but that’s not the same. South Korea also has prison labor.

Edit: Regarding your article, aside from HRW being literally purpose-built for laundering those sorts of stories and the “evidence” being an office in the UN submitting something for discussion, South Korea also has accusations against it of torturing political prisoners.

Still no death camps in “north kora”
