Has NK forbade literature from leaving the country, or is this an issue in the US/Western countries?

The issue the author ran into isnt that NK doesnt allow lit/art to leave the country; in fact they really want that to happen! Art is one of North Korea's biggest exports, they are the biggest supplier of statues in the world and have some stunning works on display in Africa.

Its that everytime a collector like this tries to showcase work, make profit off of reselling NK artists art and such, it gets censored or closed down by western govermnets due to 'human rights concerns'

That's really interesting. I know next to nothing about the DPRK, much less their art/literature/thought/etc.

Thanks for the insight, now I have a new rabbit hole to go down.

An example of what they export.

Holy shit. That's fucking impressive

Thanks for sharing. Today has been a bit eye opening for me. I've read a lot of theory, and am an anarcho-syndicalist, but I know next to nothing about the Korean Revolution. I have a lot of reading to do.

Thanks, comrade.
