@just-juche-things
in the communed. straight up "seizin it". and by "it", haha, well let's justr say. My means of production
Keep calling MLs and other authoritarian "communists" tankies/red fascists. It riles them up, meaning these terms for them are working. Under no circumstances do I condone authority and oppression at the hands of a state, which includes socialist states that are somehow supposed to "wither away" into communism, as many Marxists would suggest.
Hah I actually self-identify as a tankie because it’s funny. Just like I self identify as a fag because I’m gay :) It’s sad to me that you can’t even imagine a better world than we have now- just because there have been oppressive states in the past, why CAN’T we have one that’s not? Red fascist is just inaccurate though. I rank it 4/10, gotta love the punchiness combined with the self-obsessed disingenuousness and bad faith, but I can’t give you any more points than that for plain old misinformation. If you don’t even know what a fascist is you have no business being on the left get off of tumblr and read theory sweetie 😘
WHY AM I SEEING SO MUCH ISLAMAPHOBIC SHIT ON MY FYP? GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME.
This is a chollima. Have you heard of it? The chollima is a Korean mythical horse (if you don't feel like you get it, it's like a unicorn. But way cooler and better than a unicorn tho). It has wings and can fly great distances at lightning speed. To be specific, 400km in a single night! The chollima is a symbol of inspiration for the people of the DPRK (I'm not sure if it's also popular in South Korea currently but it does predate the separation), reminding them to work with steadfast efficiency, speed, and determination to achieve their goals and dreams as a nation.
It is also said that because of the speed of the chollima, it's not possible for any mortal to ride it. So people who are particularly passionate and hard-working, meeting and exceeding targets, so much so that it seems almost god-like? They're known as chollima riders.
The movement which turned the chollima into a national symbol encouraging the citizenship to meet the nation's economic goals began in the 1950's. But the new youth of the DPRK needed something to inspire them too. That's why...
Move over chollima, there's a new magic horse in town! (jk we still love u xoxo) It's known as the mallima, and it's just like the chollima but TEN TIMES faster.
Today, the chollima and it's twin sister the mallima inspire the people worldwide to work hard and efficiently to achieve their goals.
Are you a chollima rider?

Listen Liberals
Listen, I am fine with pissing off some Liberals. I am a Political Agitator. Some people get pissed off when you agitate them.
Free your mind listen to Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble
Red flags when someone is talking about the DPRK from least worse to most.
1: "north korea"
2: "totalitarian/authoritarian dictatorship"
3: "kim family"
4: "hermit kingdom"
5: racist depictions of Kim Jong Un or DPRK citizens
anyway here's loyal citizens again:
love this list. Would just like to say to my loyal lovely readers here on Just Juche Things that while the proper term is the DPRK i have said “North Korea” in the past because i post about it a lot obviously and it sounds redundant and uggo to use the same word too many times, so North Korea adds some variety. Anyone who knows another synonym i can use for the DPRK that is better than North Korea please lmk!!
Follow-Up to my Previous Post
Sleep Token is NOT Juche. In case you were wondering. Which you shouldn't be.
What is my issue with Sleep Token?
I just hate autotune, sister. Also u know the whole "singing in cursive" thing all the pop girlies have been doing the past few years? Sleep Token is like if a man co-opted singing in cursive and if a goddess can't pull it off a guy shouldn't even try. He sounds like he's singing with a garden hose shoved down his throat. Plus how old are they? Like, 30? And yet they still write like teenagers. A damn shame. My boy Kimmie wouldn't do me like that-- whether Kitsuragi OR Jong-Un!
Ranking North Korean Political Parties
Those of you that aren’t woke to the glory and splendor of true democracy might not be aware, but North Korea has more than one party. Today I will rank them from greatest to least greatest.
#1: Worker’s Party of Korea
leader: Kim Jong Un ❤️ 💞 💋
ideology: Juche!!! 😊
Obvs this HAS to be my number one pick because the WPK is number one in the North Korean parliament— and for good reason. Serving the people since 1945 baby!! And you know how much I love to serve ✨ 💅
#2: The Chondoist Chongu Party
leader: Ri Myong Chol
ideology: chondoism
Hot take, I know, but I prefer the Chondoist Chongu party over the Korean Social Democratic Party even though the latter has more seats in parliament because, like, girl, come on now. Social Democracy? Doesn’t go far enough. Would you rather have Bernie Sanders running your country or a bunch of bad-ass working-class MYSTICS? Yeah, I thought so. Spoiler Alert: high-key controversial but the KSDP is going near the end JUST because I think they’re boring as shit sorry not sorry
#3: Korean Children’s Union (part of DFRF for explanation see #4)
leader: i think they have a bunch of like local ones
ideology: Communism/socialism/juche
literally the Young Pioneers of the DPRK!! Super cute super important and I’m in love with their little red ascots. The aesthetic is impeccable. Very glamorous, very non-sleep token-coded (I hate them), very mindful, very demure
#4: Socialist Women’s Union of Korea
before i get people in my notes saying “they’re not a party they’re part of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland” I know but also like they’re still like their own thing and have influence in parliament so. Back off
leader: Jang Chun Sil
ideology: Socialism/Feminism
i love women ❤️ 👩 😎
#5 Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League
also part of the DFRF, idgaf
leader: Pak Chol Min
ideology: Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism
They just got that rizz
#6: General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea (DFRF)
leader: Pak In Chol
ideology: communist/socialist/unionist
has good vibes
#7: Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea (DFRF)
leader: Han Jong Hyok
ideology: Farming?
kind of boring but agriculture is important ig
#8: Chongryon
i know they’re also not like a party per se but they still have five seats in parliament so
leader: Pak Ku Ho
ideology: juche
look chongryon is chill and all but i have to be so fr rn. bestie is a lil unhinged. lil crazy. lil wackadoodle. i can respect having that passion, that drive, that fire, that 10,000 horsepower type energy, but there’s a line between being an ideal candidate for Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen and just being plain old mentally ill, and it’s pretty damn thin, if there’s even enough distinction to say it exists.
I’m not knocking affinity organizations like koreans in Japan do deserve rights and things. it’s just. Kidnapping people isn’t cool bro. And before haters come at me in the comments KIM JONG IL HIMSELF acknowledged and apologized for the abductions. I can accept that they’ve had a change of heart but even though i ❤️ doolally nutsos, better than regular people actually, they’re not *quite* ideal for positions in government. And that’s the tea ☕️
#9: The Korean Social Democratic Party
leader: Han Chang Min
ideology: social democracy
Plain jane basic bitches
~illegal parties~ (note: not in parliament)
#10: Free Joseon
leader: Adrian Hong Chang
ideology: overthrowing the DPRK
i can respect the hustle
#11: North Korean People’s Liberation Front
leader: Choi Jung Hoon
ideology: reunification under the SK govt.
doesn’t really do much
#12: and last and definitely least, North Korean Freedom Coalition
leader: probably the CIA
ideology: stuff and things
i hate the CIA, almost as much as sleep token
Now this is what I mean when I say glamorous
say what you want about Kim Yo-Jong but you can’t deny the girl’s got STYLE. This kind of quiet confidence… one can only dream!
My fave kpop song
I mean I think New Jeans is cool too but this just has *aura*. Let's show the entire world the spirit of chollima
