Philippines: Women & Girls Remember Crimes of Japanese Fascism! (16.8.2025)

The greater percentage of this crime occurred within China – but involved many other ethnic groups as victims – including the Filipinos. Although a statue was raised in Manilla in 2017 to record their suffering – just four-months later – the Japanese government succeeded in cajoling the Philippines Authorities in removing it! Whether Trump ordered this first time around is open to speculation. For Socialists, WWII was a People’s War against the common enemy of fascism. WWII was not the usual bourgeois excess of one competing nationality against another – although for many – this is exactly how it is remembered. Indeed, many of the victorious nations have taken on a vitriolic attitude of blatant nationalism when it comes to remembering WWII – a nationalism that steers very near to the wind of fascism that was purportedly defeated. A People’s War led to a People’s Victory and not one nationalist group over another. The US and its lackeys often sully the remembrance of this war. It was a victory of the International Working Class over the forces of reaction – against capitalism in decline!

Long Live the USSR!

DPRK: Comrade Kim Jong Un Pays Congratulatory Visit to Russian Embassy in Pyongyang and Makes Speech! (14.5.2025)

As for the hostile forces’ adventurous military moves of blatantly violating the sovereignty and security of Russia, our fraternal country, I promptly shared with Comrade President Putin my view of this as something tantamount to an invasion of our own state and my decision to discharge our treaty obligations with sincerity. Then I ordered the combat sub-units of our Republic’s armed forces to join in the Russian armed forces’ action to wipe out the neo-Nazi occupiers from Ukraine and liberate the Kursk area.

The most excellent sons of the Korean people, in answering the call of their homeland, fought shoulder to shoulder with the Russian soldiers in the same trenches, shedding blood amid the flames of battles against the common enemy, as they regarded the territory of our ally as that of their own country.

All these proud sons of our Korean people, who were involved in the Kursk operations, are heroes and supreme representatives of honour of this country, I think.

They proved the durability of the DPRK-Russia alliance at the cost of their blood, demonstrating the highest strategic level of the strong militant friendship, alliance and fraternal relations between the peoples of the two countries.

Tens of Thousands of Koreans Forced to Work in Japan!

DPRK: Press Statement – Association of Korean Victims of WWII Forcible Drafting and Bereaved Families! (14.3.2025)

Hundreds of B-29 large bombers of the U.S. forces flew into the sky over Tokyo and Osaka of Japan on March 10 and 13, 1945, the end of the Pacific War ignited by the Japanese imperialists, made massive air raids while dropping incendiaries and other bombs at random.

At that time the Japanese imperialists kept Koreans in custody in groups, claiming that Koreans who had been subjected to subhuman maltreatment and humiliation, dangerous and toilsome labour could escape in the confusion of air raids. As a result, many Koreans died an accidental death.

According to “Study of War Responsibilities” No.53, the organ of the Japanese Data Center for War Responsibilities, on the damage of Korean people in the large-scale air raids on Tokyo, the war victims are 41 300 and the death toll will far exceed 10 000.

DPRK Building Happiness!

Opposing US Racism – Supporting the DPRK! (13.2.2025)

North Korea belongs to the Koreans living there – and not those whose people routinely deploy falsehoods and racism towards every North Korean man, woman, and child. This is important as I live near New Malden in the UK – where thousands of South Koreans live. Their children go to school with my children – and I have known many over the years. One thing I learned is that South Korea is a brutal US colony riddled with poverty, rape, and prostitution, etc. Many South Korean children born in the UK possess British Citizenship, and they opt to stay when the business contracts of their parents expire (usually in the car industry) – and they have to leave the country. South Korea is a failed State, and its only hope is the spread of Socialism from the North – following the complete withdrawal of the US military.
