North Korea carries out public executions on river banks and at school grounds and marketplaces for charges such as stealing copper from factory machines, distributing media from South Korea and prostitution, a report issued on Wednesday said.
It’s true that communist spaces could do with having more queer feminist theory under their belts, I won’t deny that. Luckily, there exists communist feminist literature, so encouraging people to read that would do wonders. I try to recommend Caliban and the Witch as much as I can because of how it outlines the effects of early capital accumulation on the bodies of women. I know of Leslie Feiberg as well, though I’ve never read any of their work. There’s plenty out there if we look, and we should definitely look.
In fact, if you think it’s a problem, you should share texts or express your ideas to Lemmy and Lemmygrad. I’m sure people will appreciate it.
Even better, read some non-Western feminist texts and try to apply them to the DPRK in a constructive way. This means that you’ll need to have a better understanding of the DPRK, though. Just like truly understanding queer people’s problems involves stepping outside of the mainstream media’s views on queer people, the same is true for the DPRK. You’ll need to read Juche works, learn its history, read news straight from them, etc., and not be satisfied with what some reactionary news source has to say about them. Don’t toll the line of capital and imperialism, because giving the West more leniency on its attacks against the DPRK won’t do the people living there any good, including women and queer people.
