Sabotaging an Alternative to the US-Led Global Economic Order
From: Patriots, Traitors and Empires
$2.90
Chapter thirteen, Sabotaging an Alternative to the US-Led Global Economic Order focuses on a north Korean reunification. The DPRK defines itself as “a revolutionary State” originating “in the struggle to achieve the liberation of the homeland.” The state, then, is conceived as developing out of the national revolution for independence. It is guided by Juche (self-reliance and independence in matters of politics, economics, culture, and the military) and Songun (the primacy of self-defence in the allocation of resources). Juche reflects the reality that only Koreans can vouchsafe Korea’s freedom, and Songun a sine qua non in the face of the existential threat North Korea has faced from the United States from the very moment of its birth. The DPRK is the major organized force in pursuit of a mission of Korean independence that is fundamentally at odds with the goals of the United States on the peninsula.
