The U.S. Imperialists Started the Korean War
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Korean War was one of the most abhorrent and savage imperialist wars ever waged -- but the U.S. imperialists used their conniving trickery to blame the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for having invaded their south Korean puppet regime. This plan was premeditated by the imperialists going back since they arbitrarily divided Korea along the 38th parallel after the liberation from Japanese occupation. However, in the south this was a pseudo-liberation, as the Japanese fascists remained in positions of power and their property was protected. Both in their hatred for the DPRK, who had expropriated the Japanese imperialist property as well as that of the lackeys and traitors, and in their need to boost war production to solve their grave economic crisis at home during the late 40s and early 50s, the U.S. imperialists hatched up a sinister plan to invade the north on June 25, 1950. This was carried out in Haeju, Kumchon and Cholwon. Despite the protests of the DPRK Government, the puppets continued one-two kilometres deep -- President Kim Il Sung then issued an urgent call to rout the new fascists and collaborators. The Korean people rose as one around their glorious Fatherland Liberation Army and crushed the "ROK" army, which was far superior militarily but utterly failed in capturing the hearts and minds of the people. In their utter desperation, the U.S. secured "UN" forces behind the back of the USSR to carry out a mass-scale genocide -- bacteriological and chemical weapons, burning people alive with gasoline, suffocating women and children, exterminating entire regions, deploying millions of weapons to destroy every single person possible. These methods, fuelled by ignorant racism and centuries of inculcated mindsets about "civilization" and "inferior races," were more barbarous than those which the Hitlerites used against the Soviet Union. Nonetheless, the U.S. imperialists were forced by the courageous and heroic Korean people to sign an armistice for the first time in their history -- a victory which imbued in the whole world confidence that it was the peoples that decided the outcomes of wars, and not weapons and atrocities, a real humiliation for the imperialists. Today, as U.S. imperialism is still carrying out Korean-War-style proxy wars, it is important to remember this lesson the Koreans taught us.
