WTF is it with Progressives?
With all the anti-American rewriting of history in our own public schools and universities, we can hardly point fingers.
Moon belongs to the Juche cult developed by Kim Il-sung. in other words, Moon would have no problem (once unification is complete) relinquishing his position to Kim Jong-un. This recasting of Korean history is just the beginning of the implementation of the Juche philosophy in South Korea.
It’s certainly a better option than liberals constantly wanting to bring up the past in order to keep reminding whites what terrible human beings they are.
In the Bible, we are told not to judge a subsequent generation for the sins of a previous generation. No matter what terrible acts somebody has done, their children should not be held responsible for those terrible acts.
If true, that’s a big mistake.
Well, they do the same here. Socialism is cool and doesn’t kill folks. Ask any college student.
“Not only will the new books omit that the Republic of Korea (i.e., South Korea) is the unilateral government of the Korean Peninsula, as recognized by the United Nations, but it will also include no mention of North Korea’s invasion of South Korea during the Korean War.”
While this application of the “Sunshine Policy” is as flawed and bogus as the rest of it, the two part statment above is also flawed. South Korea is NOT “recognized by the United Nations” as the “UNILATERAL” government of “the Korean Peninsula”.
There are three member states of the U.N. that do not recognize the government of North Korea as a U.N. member. And one member state that does not recognize South Korea as a U.N. member (North Korea) that stems from the history of both sides declaring themself to be the only legitimate government of all of the Korean Penninsula. Which I think South Korea no longer does, but North Korea may still. In spite of all that, in 1991, the Security Council and the general assembly voted on (and passed) U.N. recognition of both governments. That recognition applies to U.N. and its bodies, but does not apply to U.N. members that still are withholding such recognition themselves.
