[@slidetek]

Public education at work once again. Do some independent research. How great can an economy be when it depends on being propped up by 2 other countries simply to push communist values? China has stopped simply because it's no longer politically expedient, and they've now manipulated their own economy to a point of economic collapse. Try reading some, like the people that fled NK in the 60's and 70's. Non-stop human rights violations.

They don't literally think he's a god. They think he's an inspiration for their ideology, which, considering he was the revolutionary leader of their country for decades, literally wrote the book on the Juche idea, and helped defeat two different imperialist powers against terrible odds. That's what I have heard from every interview with North Koreans I have seen. And you know, maybe there's something to that.

[@daeseongkim93]

Some flaws I want to point out, because there's somewhat of an impartial slant to any videos about North Korea and the Korean War. Kim would need to get approval from BOTH Mao and Stalin, Mao was equally important to the whole Korean War. Soviets lended monetary aid and some Air Force units, but Mao lended everything else plus a large standing Volunteer Army that changed the course of the war. The US played a major role in antagonizing Kim Il-Sung and turning the Korean peninsula into an ideological battleground. South Korea had even before the war broke out had made military forays and raids against the North which helped influence Kim's decision to invade the South. The South was under an even worse dictator than Kim Il Sung, his name was Syngman Rhee and he persecuted anyone even vaguely liberal as communist. He worked in installing Japanese collaborators during the Second World War in seats of power - in the judicial and legislative roles. He also worked with US occupation forces by making women serve in brothels and gave special privileges to these American soldiers. The Korean peninsula as a whole would have went the way of Vietnam as many saw Rhee as a puppet leader, Kim actually fought the Japanese as a renown guerrilla leader for the Korean independence movement (known as "The Tiger" of Manchuria). Rhee was in exile, safely relaxing in paradise, in Hawaii and making inroads with FDR's government and the OSS (pre-cursor to the CIA). Rhee was far more radical, even though he was appointed to numerous seats in the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, China. Even the more intellectual resistance leaders did not like him all too much because his personality was wildly extreme and not at all moderate like Kim Goo (his future VP). He eliminated the opposition including Kim Goo when he took power and Rhee is still seen as a controversial figure even today here in South Korea. I'm not at all venerating Kim Il-Sung, but the war would never have occurred and reunification would have happened. The North would have been the industrial heartland and the South its agricultural core, together it would have been a greater power than most of its neighbors.

[@PeteyLeeTV]

Neat video but you left out some important details. The reason why Kim Il-Sung wanted to unify Korea is because after World War 2, America appointed Japanese collaborators to top leadership positions in the South. Basically, we gave Korea back to their enemy who had previously oppressed them. Kim Il-Sung was far from perfect but he fought for an independent Korea.

[@dragonstormx]

And yet the Japanese collaborators did a much better job running their country than he and his successors did.

[@themightyranger6321]

@@dragonstormx the south koreans lived like venezuelans during that time, how is that a good job?

[@dragonstormx]

They actually made it so their country could sustain itself, Kim Il-Sung, for all his talk about self reliance, was dependent on food imports from the USSR because he was more interested into building up his military than his infrastructure. Look at where that has gotten now. South Korea is actually a thriving economy where the North is an absolute hell hole, worse than the South ever was. I have heard about a man from the NK army who deserted and ran across the border, he was invested with worms. I saw an interview with a person who escaped the country, he said that a bottle of bear was a luxury item and was amazed at the sight of reusable plastic bottles. NK's regime, the dynasty Kim-Il Sung started, is despite all of that more interested in holding to its power than anything else, while also making threats to the United States to make it look like it it's actually doing something. Also Kim Jung Un is a piece of shit. That guy would rather gorge himself on cheese than act like a responsible leader and I hope he dies of cancer.

[@themightyranger6321]

@@dragonstormx kim jong un is actually doing more than what kim jong il did in his entire life, he has ended haevy tensions with the usa and he has talked with the president of south korea (he is also the first north korean leader that has gone into south korea) he also has destroyed the thugs that controlled the goverment, overall i consider the country is improving with him

I thought the Korean War was started without Stalin's approval. Also, this loser did a great job on his "self reliance" policy. He mostly focused on building up his military for a war with the south while relying entirely on allies for food and sustenance. Once they were gone he country went to hell. I have seen an interview with somebody who got out of North Korea. He said that he saw a two year old die from lack of food, and that when his family went to China he felt it was the greatest place in the world. Granted his country is so poor that a bottle of bear costs enough money for five meals and a plastic bottle is a luxury item.

[@denniseggert211]

Many things indicate that Stalin wasn´t aware what Kim Sung ill was going up for and forced Mao to take care of the Situation afterwards because he didn´t wanted to risk a war with the USA in Europe because of Korea.

[@daeseongkim93]

It needed both Stalin and Mao's approval, Kim would have very well wanted to do it without Stalin's approval. but Kim knew he needed a security guarantee - Soviet money, arms, and air force with Chinese army and navy made formidable guarantees for a country that otherwise only had an equal population with the South, some guerrillas from the war against the might of the United States backing a paltry Southern force mostly of former Japanese Imperial Army units. The famine interviews of defectors came about after Kim Il-Sung's reign as that was later and from the terrible times under Kim Jong-Il. As for the self-reliance mantra, its actually genius if you think about Kim like Ho Chi Minh played both the Soviets and the Chinese who afer the Korean War had the Sino-Soviet Split, or more similarly Nasser of Egypt who played on the US-Soviet rivalry to gain from both sides. He used his charm offensive to help bolster his own regime by making suckers of the two. That's as self-reliant as it gets, cant trust both, so try to pocket off both. He still had enough backup surplus that if both or one drops assistance there was still a thriving market to support the people. It was he didn't realize both would drop assistance, paired with a famine, and mainly the misappropriation of surplus by his corrupt military generals and the ineffective rule of his son that destroyed the North completely. Aquariums of Pyongyang and Kim Jong Il's chef wrote good accounts of Kim Jong-Il's backwardsness to his father's rule.
