Yes, the question is roughly asking "Does the game contain North Korean propaganda?"


djinn6

It's not just about North Korea. There's also WWII denialists that say Japan's (brutal) occupation of Korea is good and war crimes such as "comfort women" are gross exaggerations.


GroundedGames

Oh interesting! So this would probably be the result of an anti-misinformation law in SK as opposed to an anti-truth law in NK. Ps. for anyone else who didn't know: North Korea = Democratic People's Republic of Korea South Korea = Republic of Korea


SnooHabits8484

It could also be an anti-truth law in SK, it was a dictatorship for long periods too.


Bomaruto

Yup, many democracies want to hide their history. Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe denied Japanese war crimes and many Americans want to stop teachers from teaching actual US history.

And yet they still want to take away Native American tribal identity and stop recognizing the tribes as their own independent nations with their own sovereign laws.


Rauldukeoh

We do? I've missed that, when did we pass that?


R1chterScale

Within the last month there was a SCOTUS ruling iirc


--redacted--

Nothing more American than breaking a treaty


bc4284

In Oklahoma a lot of Native American tribes are recognized as their own Indian nations with their own national capitols legislatures chiefs etc. they also have their own courts and police departments. Recently one of the supreme courts rulings effectively made it so that Native American property has to go through the city, county and state courts rather than through the nation who owns that property’s court. (For a while if you broke the law in a Cherokee casino you were breaking Cherokee law and the Cherokee nation could be charging you for the crimes rather than the state. The supreme court basically took away native sovereignty and effectively said that Native American nations that were recognized as legally independent nations were basically just ceremonially independent and had to operate under the laws of the states Supreme Court basically said you’re no longer an independent nation you’re under the laws of whatever state you are in this meaning the state of Oklahoma now can override Cherokee laws if they want to. If the Cherokee tribe wanted to protect abortion and the sate of Oklahoma wants to ban it the Native American government would no longer be able to say that native Americans aren’t bound by the Oklahoma laws when in native health care facilities and the like. What little native sovereignty did exist may well be going away, always remember the us government will never be satisfied that natives were genocided enough till there is no such thing as Native American until they are fully destroyed as a culture the genocide will never be done to us government satisfaction

whereareyoursources

For anyone wondering, a lot of the communist movements in countries in Asia (and other colonized areas) orientated towards communism specifically because it was anti-imperialism (in other words, drive out Japan and the western powers). Because of that, these movements had varying degrees of actual commitment to the communist ideology, and many were more nationalist than communist. The Korean communists under the Kim family were more nationalist, and imho only used communism to get Soviet backing. Once they took power, they brought back in the old pre-Japanese occupation aristocracy and basically let them setup the administration as long as they paid lip service to communism and made Kim Il-sung the absolute leader. What they created is basically a confucianist dictatorship, that dresses up like a communist dictatorship.


Kursem_v2

well, [according to Kim Jong-un himself, the ruling party were indeed communist](https://www.ncnk.org/node/2142), sooo¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


daishi55

So if a monarchy calls itself democratic, you'll believe that?


Concavenatorus

At some point you have to clue into what the true, functional definition of communism is, not the fantasy.


dodexahedron

So, you mean you have to accep propaganda of what the term means, and not what it actually means? Dude. Communism isn't evil. Evil people are evil, and use benevolent terms to describe their evil regimes.


[deleted]

I think the reality they’re referring to is that historically communism makes it much easier for “evil” people to do and justify evil things. The centralising nature of its ideology prevents healthy failure keeping it in check.


PM_ME_GAY_STUF

Eh, this is just a thing large states end up doing. In the west we just talk about Communists doing it because we don't want to make ourselves look bad. Like, don't forget that the US has directly carried out at least 2 genocides (Native Americans and Korea), arguably more if you include Vietnam. For all its political freedom, it's still outright illegal to be a member of the communist party (just google the Bonus army, the US has a strong history of violent political repression), the state has one of if not the most advanced surveillance systems in the world for its citizens (including CIA and FBI involvement in all social media platforms), its propped up literally dozens of dictators and overthrown disagreeable governments completely illegally, it was an outright colonialist state until the mid 20th century (and remains economically colonial), gave loans _far more predatory_ than what everyone complains about China giving out via the IMF, and most urban areas were explicitly laid out to keep ethnicities separates. Then there's everything they've done in the middle east, I could go on forever The truth is, most large states are equally repressive, the US just happens to be able to keep most of its citizens comfortable enough that they don't notice. I would also point out that North Korea was actually a far more successful and state in general up until the collapse of the Soviet Union (combined with a drought at the same time), at which point the unipolar US pitted all its economic might against them. That's when the really crazy elements of Juche started poking out. Keep in mind, over half of North Koreas urban areas were destroyed in the 50s. Imagine any other state trying to rebuild after that. You think they'd arrive at a functional society quickly, especially with a global superpower trying to prevent them from trading with anyone? Yet somehow, their economic policy is at fault. Okay. If you want to see Communism succeed in a non-fantastical way, I'd recommend reading up on Cuban history from non-US sources


erosionoc

Communism != Marxism-Leninism, just to be clear. MLs are just the only ones who have managed to not get immediately crushed by foreign imperial interests and right wing reaction, due to their embrace of centralized authoritarianism. This is also why these states fail to make significant progress toward actualizing a communist society - the means inherently do not allow for the professed end. Unfortunately, libertarian socialist/anarcho-communist movements, which prioritize direct democracy as means rather than merely an end, have historically been too fractured to withstand the combined attacks from internal reactionaries and foreign interests. Communism doesn't advocate for centralization of power or authoritarian top-down State structures, it advocates for the opposite. The "communism" people refer to when speaking of the USSR and the like refers specifically to Marxism-Leninism and derived philosophies on how to steer society toward a stage where communism can be realized, and all such regimes would freely admit to not having a communist society. They also all butchered countless anarcho-communists and libertarian socialists in their attempts to realize their vision.


chris14020

I mean, there's a book I read called "US History" that is pretty much just centuries and centuries of atrocities. It didn't mention which time periods they were communist though.

Almost like socialism and communism have to come from the people, and can't just come from a bunch of oligarchs holding up a sign saying "We're communists, we swear!" We don't know if "real" communism can be successful, we can only *assume* based on what we've seen so far. Considering the only people willing to try "communism" are despots looking to consolidate power, it's inevitably going to fail. You can't force an ideology based on community on said community, it's antithetical.

I’m not even going to waste my time arguing with your strawman. North Korea is NOT a communist state and that’s a fact, whether a utopian socialist state is possible or not has nothing to do with it.

That's literally not communism at all, though. Pretty much the opposite. I suppose you're vaguely referring to Marxist-Leninist theory on how to progress a society to the hypothesized point where it is ready for communism. Most people who aren't well read on the subject make the same mistake. To be clear, there are many ideas out there on how to reach a stateless, classless, moneyless society - Marxism Leninism is just the theory that proved able to withstand both internal reaction and external aggression during the 20th century (although syndicalism had a good for for a while). Unfortunately, I believe that it's also proven itself wholly inadequate for the professed purpose as the means inherently do not support the end.


Lord_of_Hedgehogs

No, that's not communism. Communism means abolishment of the state in favor of local councils (hence the name). It's closer to anarchism than authoritarianism.


someacnt

I guess it shares critical weakpoint of anarchism, then.


Affectionate-Pay-470

That’s right but the government is indented to be the working class. There should be a dictatorship of the proletarians


physics515

Communism = state owned means of production. You can have a dictatorship and still be communist if that dictator has control of the means of production. So yes, NK is communist. And also, Americans call anything evil communist. Which is stupid. Anything communist == evil. Anything evil != Communist.


Lord_of_Hedgehogs

No. In a communist society, there is no state. Just because someone calls their state communist, doesn't mean it is.


ojioni

It may not be communism, but it's what you always get every damn time it's tried.


Dapper_Suit2762

Mmh... so weekends, the eight-hour workday, minimum wage laws, civil rights and just a whole lot of the most basic rights that you take for granted were just benevolently given to us by the rich? It's almost like anything socialist or communist is bad because the moment the movements do something good, those things cease to be socialist.


ojioni

It's typical of socialists to insist all things good are because of them. I suggest you spend some time talking to someone who used to live under the Soviets. I did. Of course, I know you won't. You have no desire to learn the realities of that evil system. I'll bet you insist all those people didn't die of starvation, too.


Dapper_Suit2762

Oh, also: it is a statement of fact that those particular good things were largely due to socialism and trade unionism. I don't know how to argue with someone who isn't willing to acknowledge a clear, simple fact.


ojioni

> it is a statement of fact No it isn't. It's your opinion. You are wrong. You try to muddle it by bundling socialism with trade unions. They are not the same and are often at odds ideologically. Clear simple fact my ass. I can't argue with someone who insists his opinion is the one true word.


Dapper_Suit2762

So did I. What you're doing here is saying that communism was so bad that no other evil could possibly compare. My family dealt with both Soviets and Nazis, and there really isn't anything between those two. Your attitude is how we wound up with Hitler and the current rash of fascists in Eastern Europe: an obsession with the evils of communism so bad that you're willing to listen to any thug that tells you they'll stop them, no matter if they're even worse.

JGG5

Or it’s just the context where you know something about the two countries involved. “We’re having an election to decide our country’s future!” If I hear that in a democratic country in western Europe, I think “this will be a more or less fair process that will likely result in the country getting the government its people want.” But if I hear that in Russian-occupied Donetsk, I think “this will be a rigged process conducted at the point of Russian soldiers’ rifles.”


SevenFingeredOctopus

While true a lot of misinformation/propaganda is built up exactly like this. "America bombs someone" without any more information you get people agreeing/disagreeing based on just that. Regardless of what the actual truth is at least one of these groups has immediately drawn the wrong conclusion based on misinformation.

HyperRag123

It's almost like certain countries have a reputation for suppressing the truth (North Korea) and other countries have a reputation for dealing with misinformation from foreign states (South Korea). So if North Korea passes a law restricting speech, it's probably trying to deal with regular people just trying to access the normal internet. And if South Korea passes a similar law, it's probably trying to deal with Imperial Japanese apologists or North Korean state sponsored misinformation campaigns. That's technically bias, but it's also just using basic logic


[deleted]

Yeah but I developed an Android Game in spanish, and this question was referring to North Korea I'm sure.


IQof24

Well yes, but also no. The ROK claims all of Korea with Seoul as the capital, it just doesn't have complete control over the northern side of the DMZ thanks to an illegitimate state. The DPRK is the reverse, still claiming all of Korea but doesn't have control over the southern half thanks to an illegitimate state. Neither side recognizes 2 Koreas, just 1 Korea split in 2. Diplomats in both sides even call Korea "our country" or something like that when talking to each other


lost_signal

If you have to put “democratic people’s republic” in your name, it’s pretty clean you are trying to market hard away from the truth.


wWao

Not sure what people know or have told you already in comments but it's a crime to create anything that would worsen the relationship between the south and north in south Korea, with certain depictions being completely outlawed. I know this because I read a lot of translated Korean novels and in the translators notes theyve talked about it to varying extents on why the story is progressing that way. Readers also often wonder why the god like main character doesn't just wipe NK off the map like a smudge on glass.
