Answers from the Pyongyang Mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea about the new puppet regime in south Korea

Answers from the Pyongyang Mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea about the new puppet regime in south Korea

Firstly, I'd like to give you an opinion of my own about future policy of president-elect Yun Seok-yol in south Korea.

As soon as Yun won the presidency, he rang up the US President and the Japanese prime minister to flatter the US and Japan.

In reference to this, the south Korean mass media and broad strata of the people express their concerns that owing to Yun's submissive policy toward outside forces, south Korea will be faced with a serious diplomatic and security dilemma, and the socio-economic crisis.

It is obvious that they have been engaged in pro-US and Japan sycophancy whoever comes into office in south Korea. It is our unchangeable stand that Yun is destined to follow his predecessors.

Secondly, it is the issue on a large scale of military exercise to be conducted in the future in south Korea.

The south Korean military declares openly that it will resume the joint military game against north Korea with the US, and the US made clear its stance after Yun won the presidency.

We are sure that the US-south Korea joint military drill will be without doubt conducted in spite of strong opposition of public opinion at home and abroad.

Under the "Iron heel"- Letter from the Ukraine

Under the "Iron heel"

Ukraine, 2022. Thirty years since independence. Nothing has been left

over the years. No joy, no happiness, only hope that it does not get

worse. However, on New Year's Eve 2022, there was not even that feeling.

Only a dreary feeling of impending disaster.

I did not believe in bad things. It seemed like I was just tired. Corona

virus ,covid-19. Father's illness. Endless hospitals. Doctors, nurses,

nannies. Medical masks in the bag, in the glove compartment and in both

pockets. The zones are yellow, green, orange and red. Vaccinations,

first, second and talk about the third.

Two years of COVID pressure. Restrictions replaced by bans. You can't

walk around without a mask. You can't go outside. You can't walk in the

park. Not allowed in the car without a mask. Do not gather more than two

and do not come closer than one and a half meters. Then came the

vaccinations. And again you “re not allowed to”. It is impossible to

teach, to give medical treatment and generally to work to without

vaccination. You can’t shop without vaccination, can’t use transport,

cant’t go to the hospital, basically, just can’t live at all, too.

Public places were full of posters, announcements and warnings.

Television news informed, convinced and simply frightened.

And if in March 2020 covid-19 scared us, then after many have been ill,

the fear was over. We are accustomed to adapt, adapting to reality,

thinking only about one thing, when it's all going to be over.

Therefore, many did not believe the news announcements about the

imminent attack of Russia.

First time the impending attack was reported on the news in December. On

the announced date, the attack did not take place because "Russia got

scared." However, the topic of Russia's attack on Ukraine did not leave

the TV screens. Maps, plans and videos of the movement of Russian troops

were shown. The next date for the attack was 16 February. Days passed in

anticipation. Until President Zelensky delivered a speech declaring

February 16 as Unity Day, which was a festive one. Many were surprised,

some openly laughed.

However, on the morning of February 24, phone calls came and the word

“war” broke into our homes. I couldn't believe that Russia attacked

Ukraine. IT JUST COULD NOT BE. Just a few days ago, I calmed down my

aunt, who called me from Kyiv in hysterics after yet another news

release. I explained, reassured and encouraged. And it turned out that

all my explanations, all my faith that Russia would never attack

Ukraine, were shattered.

The first days passed in a state of prostration. What was going on

around seemed

something unreal. Martial law. General mobilization. Bombings of

Chernigov, Kharkov, Kyiv, Irpen. Curfew. Armed patrols on the streets of

the city. Air raid sirens. My aunt called from Kyiv,  she is day and

night in the basement. After two nights in a bomb shelter, for which an

underground parking was adapted, my sister spent the night in the

corridor on the floor.

On the fourth day I tried to watch the news, trying to understand what

was going on. Ukrainian and Russian news turned out to be diametrically

opposed. Public opinion was also polarized. Nationalist-minded citizens

sent curses and obscenities towards Russia and the Russians. The

pro-Russian citizens of Ukraine are divided. Part believed in

Russia-enemy, part - in Russia-liberator. I did not see myself with

either the first or the second group.

In an attempt to figure it out, I watched a video from the East of the

country, listened to interviews of experts and political scientists and

tried to understand what was happening and what to expect next. Military

operation for denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine. War of

Russia against Ukraine. Russia's war with the united West. Hypotheses

were explained, supported, predicted. I try to analyse each of the

hypotheses.

War of Russia against Ukraine. First of all, why? Why is Russia at war

with Ukraine? To seize the territory of Ukraine? But Russia is so big.

Why does it need the territory of Ukraine? After all, having taken over

Ukraine, you will have to take care of the population and  to assume

obligations for its external debt. For Russia, this is a large amount,

not to say unbearable. Again, having seized Ukraine by military means,

it means setting the civilian population against itself, and the

nationalist-minded part of it doubly so. Not to mention the global

community.

Military operation for denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine.

In 2014, I wanted to write that nationalists came to power. And then I

thought, why in 2014? Weren't Kravchuk, Kuchma, Yushchenko also

nationalists? They were. Was it not under Viktor Yanukovych that a

nationalist policy was carried out, did not anti-Russian propaganda pour

from TV screens and the media? It did. But even if we assume that it was

in 2014 that ardent nationalists came to power, then why did they decide

to carry out the denazification operation only 8 years later?! Why by

military means? Wasn't it more logical to prevent nationalists from

coming to power in 2014? After all, then there was every reason to

oppose this through the world community. The overthrow of Yanukovych (

who was the legitimate president) was illegal. The actions of the

protesters on the Maidan were violent. At the same time, the slogans

came which were nationalistic and called for reprisals against Russians,

Jews and communists. This was followed by reprisals against veterans,

communists and other thinkers. People were beaten, imprisoned, killed.

The editor of the newspaper Raboche-Krestyanskaya Pravda Anatoly

Mayevsky and journalist Ruslan Kotsaba were imprisoned. Sergey Dolgov,

editor of the newspaper “I want to go to the USSR”, from Mariupol, was

arrested and went missing. Massacre in Odessa, when people were burned

in the House of Trade Unions. Reprisals against people in the

“Anti-terrorist operation” zone in Donbass. These were events for which

it was possible and even necessary to hold them accountable with the

help of international legal organizations. At that time, it was possible

and necessary to initiate such action. And Russia should have done it.

It should have done it, but did not take any action on denazification

and demilitarization.

The war between Russia and the united West on the territory of Ukraine?

The version of Russia's war with the united West does not hold water at

all. To fight with the West and yet, to supply it with gas, oil, metals,

etc.? To fight with the West, and yet, to buy from it components for

their aircraft and military equipment? To fight with the West and yet,

to buy real estate there? To fight with the West and yet, to open a

business there? To fight with the West, and yet, to open accounts in its

banks? To fight with the West and yet, to place there 300 billion

dollars (almost half of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves)? To

fight with the West and yet, to send your children to study in the West?

To fight with the West, and  yet, to relax, travel and live there? Is it

really possible to fight with the West this way?

There is only one conclusion to be drawn from all this. All these years,

power in Ukraine and Russia has been subordinated to the Western

masters. It was they who really oversaw the policy pursued in our

countries. It was they who led to the collapse of our industry and

agriculture. It was they who put us on foreign loans and currency

dependence. It was they who financed the nationalist and fascist

organizations. It was they who were waiting for a generation that was

ready to kill, to grow up.

A fratricidal war is going on in Ukraine. The war to which Ukraine and

Russia have been led all these thirty years. It was conducted prudently,

methodically, and most importantly,  intentionally. They carried out

nationalist politics and propaganda. In Russia – the anti-Ukrainian one,

in Ukraine – the anti-Russian one, and most importantly, the anti-Soviet

one. And the main goal of this war is the destruction of our peoples by

our own hands.

And we, ordinary people, people of different ethnic group, are blind and

deaf. We hear and see nothing behind national flags, traditional

clothes, slogans and songs. Military spending is increased not only by

the EU countries, but also by the United States. Fifteen countries

supply weapons to Ukraine. And sixteen thousand foreign volunteers are

ready to fight in the conflict zone from both sides. The military forces

of different countries are being pulled up to the borders of the EU

countries, freezing in anticipation.

And we naively hope for peace talks, not realizing that Das Kapital does

not need peace. We do not see how the fire of the World War flares up,

into which the West, without hiding, generously throws its grenade

launchers, grenades, anti-tank and small arms, and most importantly,

money. France allocates 1.2 billion euros to Ukraine, the United States

- 13.6 billion dollars. But we do not see and do not understand that we

are under the Iron Heel of the World capital and we are fighting for its

money and for its interests. Blinded, we rush into war ourselves and

push our children into it. So, in order to see this clearly, will we

really have to wash ourselves with blood again ?!

From the statement of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Belarus on January 27, 2015:

 The Central Committee of the AUCPB declares:

1. We condemn the crimes of the Ukrainian army and right-wing volunteer military formations, which, like their spiritual predecessors, the Nazi fighters, unleashed an aggressive war in the Donbass. As a result of this civil fratricidal war, peaceful innocent people are dying, cities and villages are being destroyed, factories and factories are falling into disrepair, fields are being overgrown, and the infrastructure of the region, which is already living in a humanitarian catastrophe, is being destroyed.

2. We demand to stop the aggression against the working Donbass - once the pride of the Ukrainian industry in the Soviet era and stop the genocide of the people of Novorossia. It is necessary to give the population of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics an opportunity to build their future in accordance with the results of the most democratic procedure - the referendum held on May 11, 2014. As you know, in the referendum, 89.07% of the residents of the Donetsk People's Republic and 90.53% of the Lugansk People's Republic who came to the polls voted for state sovereignty, i.e. independence from the Ukrainian state.

3. We support the intention of the armed forces of Novorossiya (DNR and LNR), in fulfillment of the will of the people expressed in the referendum, to liberate their territory from the occupation by the Kiev punishers up to the administrative borders of the former Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

4. We believe that the Minsk agreements, as the previous months have shown, do not lead to a resolution of the conflict situation in Donbass. The beginning of the January offensive of the armed forces of Ukraine means the failure of the “Minsk process”. Citizens of the DPR and LPR have learned from their bitter experience that the Kyiv regime, led from Washington, without receiving a rebuff, is becoming more and more impudent. Moreover, we are confident that as long as a neo-Bandera fascist government is in power in Kyiv, there will be no peace in Ukraine. Thus, in order to achieve sustainable peace on Ukrainian soil, it is necessary to overthrow the fascist regime, because. The Nazis never gave up power voluntarily.

5. We note that the definition of fascism as a synonym for Nazism, which has recently been interpreted by the bourgeois media (in particular, Russian), is incomplete and simplified. The All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), long before the start of the Great Patriotic War, defined Nazism in Hitler's Germany as one of the manifestations of fascism, and the true essence of fascism is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary groups of capital. By the way, both are present in the political system of modern Ukraine, so the Kyiv regime clearly falls under the definition of “fascist”.

Hence the conclusion: the leaders of Western countries supported the fascist coup in Ukraine and are currently supporting the fascist Kyiv regime. However, we must not forget the lessons of history:  having generated fascism in Ukraine for the war against Russia, its creators will eventually receive it in Europe , and then the fate of the current European “democrats” will be unenviable.

6. We appeal to the leadership of the Russian Federation: it is necessary to openly acknowledge, finally, the results of the referendums in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and, as a result, officially recognize their state independence. This will increase the degree of confidence of their population in Russia and give them confidence in the fight against the Kiev punishers, as well as change the entire political situation in the region in favor of the anti-fascist forces friendly to Russia.

7. We appeal to the working people of Ukraine: despite the incredibly difficult conditions of political terror, it is necessary to work to unite ALL anti-fascist forces in the Anti-fascist Front of Ukraine. Only in the struggle can one achieve victory over the brown plague that has currently struck Ukraine, and open the way to PEACE, FREEDOM, as well as to the restoration of friendly relations with the peoples of the former Soviet republics, which will allow us to abandon the bondage into which the Ukrainian people are being drawn by "well-wishers" from the US and the European Union."

Required addition.

The Donetsk and Luhansk republics arose precisely as people's republics - in the speeches of the masses against the Ukrainian authorities. The local militia was led by the leaders of the people. The nationalization of industry was the main economic slogan of the uprising in the Donbass.

From the very beginning of the events, the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (VKPB) called and demanded from the authorities of the Russian Federation the legal recognition of the LPR and DPR.

In the years since 2014, the situation has changed. Under the direct influence of capitalist Russia, the bourgeoisie gained a foothold in power in the DNR and LNR. Instead of people's leaders, people like D. Pushilin, a former figure in the financial "pyramid" of MMM, were put at the helm of control.

From the "people's" in the DPR and LPR, only the name remained. Therefore, the recognition of the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from the “Republic of Ukraine” in 2022 is no longer the same as the recognition of their independence by the Russian Federation in 2014-2016. (Alas, that's why it happened now...)

And yet, the separation of the DPR and LPR from the “republic of Ukraine”, where a neo-fascist regime reigns, is certainly a positive development.

The withdrawal of Lugansk and Donetsk from the influence of neo-fascist Kyiv is the right step. But this is only a step in the anti-fascist liberation struggle.

Only the re-establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will bring true peace and freedom to the peoples of Ukraine, Donbass and Russia.

Proletarians of all countries, unite!

Text of Letter to the Morning Star about revisionist CPB statement on the Ukraine

Dear comrades ,

I read the statement "Stop the war - start the peace" ( Morning Star  25th February ) with a great deal of interest . Whilst the statement correctly points out that the Russian Federation is not a socialist country  , one part of the statement is truly horrendous and at best shows an extreme level of naivety , if not actual tacit support for US imperialism  I refer to the following "Where necessary and by agreement, UN peacekeeping forces should be stationed in Ukraine to protect communities from further attack. Western governments in the OSCE should reverse their withdrawal of observers from the country'. A UN peacekeeping force would simply be imperialist intervention under the cover of the UN flag . Everyone knows that the UN is controlled by the US .  In the past the US imperialists  waged a barbaric war against the Korean people  under the flag of the UN and in the early 1960s the US and other imperialist powers intervened in the newly independent state of Congo . UN involvement in the Ukraine would only serve US interests and would be a disaster .

   The statement also mentions the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe(OSCE )  , another imperialist sponsored entity which played a very negative role to say the least in Yugoslavia . OSCE came from the Helsinki Accords of the 1970s . Signing the Helsinki Accords was one of the former USSR's biggest mistakes ( there are many others ) . An OSCE presence in the Ukraine would only legitimise imperialist interference .

   At the end of the day the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine should be settled without any outside interference . What we should be saying is ; US  , NATO , EU and imperialism , out of the Ukraine ! Yes the Ukraine needs independence , it needs independence from the US , from NATO ,   from the IMF , World Bank and WTO !

 Yours fraternally

Dermot Hudson

Women's day in sorrow

Women's day in sorrow   March 8 is an international holiday for all women in the world. This should be the happiest day when women enjoy their rights to the full. However, south Korean women spend this day in sad tears. The percentage of employment of women is lowered year after year. Nevertheless, women suffer under the burden of toil in poor working conditions, are still threatened of wage discrimination, and liable to be sacked for marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and so forth. Moreover, crime against women including sexual assault and date violence is becoming an extremely serious social problem. Countless women commit suicide, depressed by sexism, which is rampant in this society. Women are ignored in political circles. and their political views are treated with silent contempt, there are many unbearable discrimination and aversion including a differential wage rate system, sexual abuse and sexual objectification to be endured and fought against in woman's life, an activist for the protection of women's rights censured. They cannot but lament over their misfortune of womanhood in this unequal society. However, the DPRK women enjoy the same rights in all realms of political, economic and cultural life as men.   They are also provided with special favors as a woman. They give birth to their children without the least inconvenience and are given treatment gratis. Moreover, the triplets and their parents are provided with doctor in charge as well as dwelling house and necessities of life by the state. Thanks to the law and policy guaranteeing women's rights and respecting their individualities, all the women in the DPRK lead worthwhile and happy lives. When shall women in this land live decent lives enjoying women's rights and displaying their dignities? This is a unanimous desire of the south Korean women greeting the women's day.

 

Information from the AINDF about south Korea participating in War Exercises

According to information from the Pyongyang Mission of the AINDF , the south Korea authorities have persisted with aggressive and hostile actions against the DPRK which are  detailed below ;

"-The south Korean military wages one independent exercise after another since the beginning of this year.

It did independently conducted the military games including a large scale of artillery fire exercise, various kinds of maneuvers of air force and naval force, cold-endurance field training and mountain combined exercise of the army, navy and air forces, and special operation training in January.

It mobilized huge armed forces to stage the cold-endurance training, various kinds of military equipment control games, tactical drill and artillery fire exercise throughout south Korea.

-The south Korean military conducts all sorts of joint exercises in close cooperation with the US.

It was involved in "Sea Dragon", an antisubmarine rehearsal of multinational coalition conducted under the leadership of the US in the vicinity of Guam in January and "Cope North", a joint air combat drill conducted by the US, Japan, Australia and so forth over it in February.

Moreover, it took part in "Cobra Gold", a naval exercise of multinational coalition conducted under the baton of the US around Thailand waters and "MILAN-2022" led by the India.

It is going to stage a joint military game with the US.

-Japan, too, frequently conducts every kind of joint military exercise aimed at the north.

It did "Keen Edge-2022", a joint commanding exercise with the US, "Noble Fusion", a joint marine corps training with the US Marine Corps and "Resilient Shield", a computer-based simulation drill for defending against ballistic missile attack this year.

Frenzied military game conducted by south Korea, the US and Japan against the DPRK is a concentrated expression of hostile policy toward the north and a dangerous provocation act escalating military tension of the Korean peninsula.

It proves "peace" touted by them to be totally false."
