Well, it's a start.

More action needs to be taken against the radical right wing regime that controls NK.

That "right wing" is what the left wing becomes when it gets absolute power over the people, the nation and its resources.

If you go far enough right you meet the left. If you go far enough left you meet the right.

what you just said lacks any meaning. The left is averse to hierarchy, so of course it will only be the right that will hold power over the people. When the left is strong, it is the people with the power.

The second part of your statement is just an absurdity that really doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Unfortunately a lot of people repeat that kind of nonsense because it sounds clever and it lets you speak as if you're above it all.

That's actually the essential characteristic that defines the left/right. It is a matter of support for our opposition top hierarchies.

Ignoring the idiocy of declaring North Korea far right wing and washing your hands of the evil they have committed.

I'm always skeptical of "anonymous", I know what it is but anybody can use the moniker anonymous and anyone with a Guy Fawkes mask can recruit an army of useful idiots to do their bidding. "Protecting world peace" is a long way from raiding Habbo Hotel with racist figurines. So who is really behind these attacks?

North Korea is a communist country. It is left wing and nationalist, like the Soviet Union or Mao's China.

You seem to be confusing authoritarianism with capitalism.

Of you think that the North Korean government is left wing, I'm not sure what to tell you. The term left wrong came out of the French Revolution, and implies an opposition to the ruling class. An authoritarian regime is antithetical to leftist ideology.

North Korea's problem isn't the left right paradigm. North Korea's problem is authoritarianism.

I'm not sure if its left or right wing. Yes it is strongly nationalist but then so was the Soviet Union and so is Cuba. For one thing, it doesn't carry the racist baggage of Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy or Franco's Spain.

Nationalism and racism are not essential aspects of right wing regimes. They are tools of the ruling class, and do often appear. But alone they are just noise.

Such violent imagery isn't confined to posters. Even North Korean math textbooks draw on the vocabulary of military might: "Three People's Army soldiers rubbed out thirty American bastards. What was the ratio of the soldiers who fought?" Dictionaries and schoolbooks encourage North Korean citizens to speak of foreigners as beasts with "muzzles," "snouts," and "paws," who "croak" instead of dying. In a chilling illustration from a recent North Korean art magazine, a child with a toy machine gun stands before a battered snowman; the caption reads, "The American bastard I killed."


Quote:
North Korea's race-centric ideology was inspired by that of the fascist Japanese who ruled the peninsula from 1910 until the end of World War II. Having been taught by their colonizers to regard themselves as part of a superior Yamato race, the North Koreans in 1945 simply carried on the same mythmaking in a Koreanized form. This can be summarized in a single sentence: The Korean people are too pure-blooded, and so too virtuous, to survive in this evil world without a great parental leader.

Hacked for a reason, right? :idea:
Probably a "small" attack from the US, who knows? Hey, I know that Anonymous is a worldwide organization but this is possible.
