Correction: Iran isn't transphobic, trans surgery is legalized there by a fatwa from Khomeini himself. It is homophobic however.

KCNA also recognized a few days ago that America's military is spread thin, and given that for the first time in decades the DPRK has declared peaceful reunification impossible I think we could see a Korean War 2. Korean War 1, USA had 50% of the world's GDP and nuclear supremacy while the KPA and PVA had WW1 era weapons. Now, DPRK homegrown arms have been proven to wreck American proxies in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and now possibly Ukraine. If there was any time to retake the South it would be now.
Also don't forget the lion of damascus's birthday
The term dronie is gaining traction within left-wing spaces and I love it
A family of nazis/slaveowners is one that deserves to be spied on

Being fluent in French disqualifies you from any possible appreciation of your other skills (this includes Marx, he should've just stuck to writing books in German)
zionism = fascism
There's a lot of people in my community saying that the Hamas attack was a false dlag so Israel can get an excuse to annex Gaza. Apparently Hamas is the only group that participated in Al-Aqsa flood.
Books: A capitalist in North Korea is good one about everyday life in the DPRK, although it mostly covers life during the late Kim Jong-il and early Kim Jong-un period. Felix Abt's support for the DPRK flucuates a lot throughout the book and he makes some false additions based on later research instead of his own experiences (such as mentioning the Songbun myth). Markets in the DPRK were quite prevalent back then due to official government encouragement of markets in the mid 2000s, but he does cover the start of the demarketization process with Kim Jong-un's entry. Today, state markets are able to provide most consumer goods and the "free markets" are most limited to farmers' markets and those too are slowly dying out.
North Korea: Another Country is also a good read. It's overall biased against the DPRK but it has some pretty good points in it.
Documentaries: Boy Boy's The Haircut is probably the best starter documentary to the DPRK and its myths. Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul is also good, as is my Brothers and Sisters in the North. The most comprehensive series is the SAO Documentary series, which I believe has more than 100 hours of lightly edited footage inside the DPRK. It's mostly tourist stuff but they ask a lot of questions to the tour guide about daily life and I found it very useful. The documentaries are in Chinese but there are english subtitles in the video. The translations get worse as the series goes on however and sometimes the translations can give very incorrect information. For example one of the video's subtitles says that rice rations in the DPRK are 2kg a month when in reality it's 2kg a week.

You misspelled "Crakkka"
You underestimate the power of the KPA and Worker-peasant red guards. The DPRK is very different from what it was during the Korean War, where it had a relatively feeble army with WW1-era weaponry and barely any industrial base. The DPRK today is more prepared for war than it was 75 years ago.
