Australian leftists set to support DPRK

trotskyistplatf

In Western countries, the capitalist-owned media are bombarding the people with a propaganda camapaign against North Korea (DPRK). The intensity of the lies being spead about the DPRK rivals the Western capitalist media's slander against the socialistic PRC in the lead up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

However not everyone in the West accepts the media's slanders. Here for example is an advertisement for a rally in Australia to oppose imperialist threats against the DPRK: http://web.aanet.com.au/tplatform/DPRK_rally.pdf

Do you hate capitalism? Well if you truly do then you

must take a stand with the socialistic Democratic Peoples

Republic of Korea (DPRK) against the intense threats

it is facing from capitalist states. Rally to demand:

U.S. Military Get out of the Korean

Peninsula and the Yellow Sea!

Stop the Capitalists’

Socialistic North Korea!

The governments of the U.S.A, Japan, South Korea and Australia have launched a

volley of threats against North Korea. It is only support for the DPRK from the Peoples

Republic of China that has thus far prevented an all out U.S.-led invasion of North Korea.

So why are they targeting North Korea? They invaded Iraq to gain greater control over

the world’s oil supplies. Yet North Korea is not oil-rich. The reason that they are targeting

the DPRK is because it remains a socialistic state.

In such a situation anyone sympathetic to socialism must side with the DPRK regardless

of whatever deformities the workers state there may have. The issue here is a class

conflict between the socialistic DPRK and capitalist forces. The exact manner in which

any battle arises is not of decisive importance just like it does not matter to socialists

how a struggle between a capitalist boss and a trade union fighting for workers rights

comes about.

Nevertheless, it is clear that it is the capitalist side that is provoking the conflict. Tens of

thousands of U.S. troops remain stationed in South Korea. North Koreans remember the

horrific crimes of the U.S., Britain and Australia during the 1950-53 Korean War, crimes

which exceeded even their hideous atrocities later in Vietnam. On several occasions

they exterminated the civilian population of North Korea’s capital Pyongyang by simply

burning the entire city to the ground with napalm. Now, over the last few years, the U.S.

and South Korea have been holding ever more threatening military exercises against

North Korea. In these exercises they have taken to firing live ammunition over disputed

waters.

The imperialists aim to either provoke a war or to bleed North Korea dry. Until the DPRK’s

Soviet ally collapsed leaving the DPRK extremely vulnerable, North Korea’s socialised

economy had enabled a universally well-fed population with one of the world’s highest

literacy levels, free medical care, housing for all and advances in women’s equality. Since

the Soviet Union’s destruction the capitalist noose around the DPRK has tightened. It

has been hurt by sanctions and the provocative acts of the U.S. military forces in the

Korean Peninsula have forced North Korea to spend valuable resources on building

up its military defence. Still, contrary to the hysterical Western media propaganda, the

North Korean masses manage to get by and continue to hold steadfast against all the

threats. They can be compared to workers on a long strike against a powerful boss –

their struggle brings many hardships but they stand firm in the hope of a brighter future.

Their courageous struggle to maintain socialistic rule must meet with solidarity from

opponents of capitalism here. The conflict between the U.S-led capitalist states and

the DPRK is a frontline in the conflict between socialism and capitalism, between the

working class and the capitalist exploiters. Anyone here who cannot rise to the defence

of the socialistic conquests in the DPRK – however warped they are from incessant

capitalist pressure – is incapable of winning new conquests against capitalism
