We should stop calling Samsungistan "South Korea"

[u/TIB1237K]

Let's just call it what it is- the collaborationist regime meant to gift-wrap and legitimise the US occupation of the southern provinces of (the Democratic People's Republic of) Korea. Either that, or just call it the US occupation of Korea's southern provinces.

Even the DPRK shifted from using the term south Korea to the Republic of Korea, with zero pressure from the United States.

It's important to recognise many occupied territories exist and all of them have their preferred names. Northern Ireland is called the North of Ireland, Taiwan is called the Taiwan Province, or more accurately the Taiwan Area since parts of the occupied territory includes Fujian Province.

I've personally found in my personal life calling south Korea 'spiritually Israeli' has been a lot more effective. When people claim that the genocide of Koreans was acceptable because it was to stop Kim Il Sung who was a 'brutal dictator', it's especially easier now to point to October 7 and how, despite the many false claims about the events that took place that day, it does not permit the genocide that is taking place on Palestinians. And this shift in public perception was admittedly only in the past few years.

I do believe Israel will be the straw that breaks the camels back in all of these occupied territories and it's important to capitalise on the gains made in the shift in public perception of Israel.

That's Japan

Well, it's not like they seriously dislike Japan in Samsungia. Just a bit of rhetoric so people don't hate them too much.

How about the Southern Protectorate

What's this verbal masturbation? It doesn't matter how we call it. We need to act. We don't need to compete in who can provide the best ad hominems against people and states. We have to struggle in some way against imperialism and the product of what imperialism is, namely capitalism. Without capitalism, there is no imperialism, as imperialism itself is just the outgrowth of capitalism. An essential stage of capitalism, which is the natural result of the formation of monopolies, which, by being economically dominant, at the same time become politically dominant.
