Kim Jong Il, the second-generation North Korean dictator who defied global condemnation to build nuclear weapons while his people starved, has died, Yonhap News reported.

He is believed to have been 70 years old, although North Korean official records said he was 69 years old.

The news came in a radio broadcast at noon local time, Yonhap reported, citing North Korea's official media.

I can't wait until a bunch of people whose total sum knowledge of north korea comes from cnn and wikipedia start speculating about how the country is going to dissolve or a mindless zombie brainwashed oriental horde will wash over the true beacon of liberty South Korea all while salivating at the prospect of thousands of deaths

reminder that the DPRK legislative body has one of the highest incumbent replacement rates of any democracy in the world and that false flag terrorist operations have been conducted against the DPRK since the very moment that popular communist revolution swept the peninsula.

RIP to the last person who had the guts to completely stand up to USAian-Zionist-Japanese imperialist pressure. RIP to the dream, the capitalists have won.

what im wonderin about is the comparisons and contrasts to be drawn from the official state grieving currently going on in NoKo and western corporate media grieving Reagan back in 04, and how both processes achieve the same political ends through quite different cultural expressions. im sure the ancient romans did this too

but im at work, also im stupid, so i cant elaborate much on it beyond this. food 4 thought imo

there was a video game released in the past couple years that featured north koreans as the enemy, i have no doubt this informed many opinions about the dprk.
