Socialist Party USA Official Statement on North Korea:
The threat of war is looming larger than ever before since the Armistice of 1953 between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the United Nations. This current state of affairs is largely due to the careless saber rattling of both the US and North Korean governments. The Socialist Party USA remains unequivocally opposed to the use of military action to resolve the present crisis and we condemn any embargo that may affect the health and lives of the civilian population in North Korea.
We voice solidarity with the North Korean people and demand that the United Nations, United States and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea stop placing the lives of people in danger and begin proposing responsible and peaceful solutions to the crisis. In no way should this statement be construed as support for the DPRK regime, its actions, or its policies.
True, but they should be aware that when a Socialist Party says they stand with the people of ________ it will be subject to misinterpretation no matter what else they say.
The SPUSA members are not North Korean apologists, not at all.
N-yet again.
Which you can read as either “nyet” or “not yet” depending on what kind of mood you are in.
maybe yer right…just a pipe dream
Do ya think Libertarians might could someday live as one?
N-yet.
Do ya think someday pinkos n randroids can live in peace?
Yes, except for that one line which can cause people to misinterpret it as Dennis did.
sounds the same as a libertarian stance on the conflict
It’s a bit ambiguous. They say ” careless saber rattling of both the US and North Korean governments. ”
“We voice solidarity with the North Korean people” is rhetoric that may typically be used by parties that support that country’s regime, but…
“we condemn any embargo that may affect the health and lives of the civilian population in North Korea” and “demand that the United Nations, United States and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea stop placing the lives of people in danger” and “In no way should this statement be construed as support for the DPRK regime, its actions, or its policies.” …
…all indicates in this case they really do mean the people, not the regime.
Wait…the socialist party is siding with North Korea instead of just opposin war regardless?
