In a personal communication, A. Shaw clarified some points not included in this post. He drew parallels between the alleged purges in North Korea and the actions of Gorbachev leading up to the dissolution of the USSR. He also said that Kim Jong-un was educated in a prestigious bourgeois university in Switzerland. Finally, he pointed out that Dennis Rodman, pal of Kim’s, is a Republican. He speculated that the leader of the DPRK has been flipped by the influence of bourgeois elements. It is interesting that the CIA funded a movie, The Interview, which dramatized the assassination of Kim by two notorious U.S. clowns recently. If Shaw is correct about Kim, it may be that the DPRK is about to go down the same path that the USSR travelled under Gorbachev, i.e. dissolution. That would mean a new puppet for the U.S. in Asia.

If the purges did not happen, the DPRK should forthwith present evidence to prove this, i.e. show the world that the people alleged by the bourgeois media to have been assassinated are still alive. If the purges did occur, the DPRK should forthwith explain why they took such action. Silence and nepotism do not foster trust and are antithetical to Marxism-Leninism and socialism.
