Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?
South Korea voting in favor of the resolution is surprising. They are team America and they were enslaved, but are not included in the resolution because they were not shipped to the Americas. Seeing one’s own enslavement as not as grave as the African one is a statement.
The ROK has a more complicated geopolitical position. They are actively colonized by the US Empire, and have a government that carried over many of the former colonial elements under Japan. They voted the same way the DPRK did.
For what it’s worth, the current ROK president is the equivalent of a socdem who seems to be trying to improve relations with China and the DPRK
Yep, though contradictions in the ROK are extremely sharp. The oil crisis is only going to make them sharper. I see a lot of revolutionary potential in the ROK, but they do have extensive fascist elements as well.
“Actively colonized”, “US Empire”, boy you use a lot of propaganda-charged phrases.
What do you mean by “propaganda-charged?” We all speak in manners that conform to our present views. The USFK occupies the ROK and meddles in their internal and external affairs in a manner that supercedes domestic law and rights, and the US Empire is actively terrorizing the world and plundering the global south of the value created by them.
