The People’s Fortress: Defending the DPRK from Imperialist Lies

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is perhaps the most slandered nation on Earth. Vilified by Western media, blockaded by imperialist powers, and targeted for annihilation since its birth in revolution, the DPRK has not only survived—it has defied.

In the face of war, sanctions, and smear campaigns, the DPRK has achieved what capitalist nations never could: universal housing, full employment, and independence from foreign domination. While headlines scream "dictatorship," the truth is far more dangerous to the empire—it’s a working socialist system outside of U.S. control.

Housing Is a Right: The DPRK’s Urban Miracle

While millions in capitalist nations sleep on the streets or drown in rent, the DPRK has enshrined housing as a fundamental human right. Entire new cities have been constructed in recent years, including Ryomyong Street and Samjiyon, with modern, high-rise apartments—offered freely to workers, scientists, teachers, and artists.

There are zero mortgages, zero rent, and zero homelessness. Can New York or Seoul say the same?

In capitalist South Korea, over 20% of youth are trapped in “goshiwon” micro-rooms—tiny, windowless boxes barely larger than a closet. Real estate speculation runs wild. Suicide and debt climb together. Yet Western media has the gall to call the DPRK "a prison."

The Wall of Lies: Imperialist Smear Campaigns

Every year, the U.S. State Department regurgitates the same script: “human rights violations,” “defections,” “repression.” But these narratives are crafted not from evidence—but from Cold War think tanks, intelligence fronts, and propaganda mills.

The same voices that told us Iraq had WMDs, that Libya needed “liberation,” that Syria gassed its own people, now say the DPRK is the “most evil regime on Earth.” These lies serve one purpose: to justify war, sanctions, and regime change.

Consider this: The DPRK has no foreign military bases, no colonial outposts, and has never invaded another country. The United States? Over 750 military bases in 80 countries, responsible for tens of millions of deaths since 1950.

The Real Korean War Never Ended

The DPRK remains technically at war with the United States, which carpet-bombed the North in the 1950s, killing an estimated 20% of its population. Entire cities were leveled. Schools, dams, hospitals—obliterated. Yet not one U.S. president has ever apologized.

To this day, Washington conducts joint military drills with South Korea, rehearsing “decapitation strikes” and “occupation scenarios.” This is not defense—it is imperialist siege warfare.

South Korea: A Neocolony in Crisis

Capitalist South Korea, praised by the West as a “model democracy,” is in decay. The lowest fertility rate on Earth. Record youth unemployment. Skyrocketing debt, collapsing birth rates, and a mental health crisis.

Workers are disposable. Housing is unaffordable. The government obeys U.S. command, hosting foreign troops on its soil and joining in provocations against its own people across the border.The South has lost its sovereignty. The North has preserved it.

A Model of Resistance

The DPRK is not perfect—but it is principled. It refuses foreign occupation. It defends socialism in the most hostile geopolitical environment on Earth. It arms itself not to conquer others, but to prevent its own obliteration.

It builds homes, schools, dams, power stations—not for profit, but for people.

While capitalist states collapse under inequality, ecological crisis, and mass disillusionment, the DPRK marches forward—under siege, yes—but never on its knees.

Let the imperialists howl. Let the sanctions come. The DPRK will remain, a fortress of red flame in the storm of global capitalism.

Long live Juche. Long live the Korean Revolution.
