I read on the old site some of the criteria for being accepted as a member. One of them is that "you must respect the leadership of Korea" or something along those lines.
That alone would prevent me from supporting any such organization. There is also alot of denial amongst them as to what is actually occuring in NK.

Denial of what comrade?
I am visiting the DPRK this year, too.

Really? wow! Dont forget to take photo's if possible'
I talked to an Irish member before and he didnt accept many of the common criticisms aimed at the DPRK, such as the oppresive nature of the regime.
He didnt really like me questioning him on such issues.

Whether there are abuses or not isn't really the point, why should we have to respect the leadership of the DPRK anyway? As Marx said we must question everything. I can understand the circumstances under which a deformed workers state like the DPRK can come about, and I would concede that it is largely as a result of US and European imperialism, but that doesn't mean I'm going to endorse it or indeed overlook gross abuses.

True Hessian. I agree. No Government (or one party dictatorship) can ever give you freedom.
