american propaganda truly is a beast of a machine when you can somehow convince a group of people in a country to enthrone the instigators of the Korean war (ie. by dividing up the peninsula and installing a dictator to operate massacres to its citizens in the name of "anti communism") as saviours.

Even worse is those people were all Japanese collaborators during WWII. Kim Il-sung wanted them tried for war crimes. The US swooped in and gave them protection, which is fitting because they proved to be reliable snitches/kapos.

i mean the guys in office in quisling korea are the colonized bourgeoisie, they do benefit from this relations. The us provides "security" (aka secures the position of power of this colonized bourgeoisie), the quislings provide strategic resources (in this case manpower, electronics and a forward base).
