Support NeoGAF

You could see this one coming.

North Korea’s state news agency weighed in on the Occupy Wall Street protests Thursday, highlighting the “stern judgment” of “millions of people” against a capitalist system that “brings exploitation, oppression, unemployment and poverty to the popular masses.”

The Korean Central News Agency’s daily dispatches usually contain a few accounts of the woes of the rest of the world, so KCNA’s editors were probably rubbing their hands with glee at the chance to play up the Occupy movement, which the report says is “sweeping across the capitalist world.”

With no apparent sense of irony, KCNA says that in capitalist society “1% of privileged class is granted all preferential treatment while 99% of working masses are forced into poverty and death.”

Predictably, the report focuses on the woes of the U.S. in particular, reeling off a list of stats about declining incomes, increasing homelessness and unemployment.

“Low-income earners’ pent-up wrath against avaricious big banks and companies that caused economic inequality finally gave its vent,” the report says.

In the final few paragraphs, the report appears to start channeling Karl Marx in predicting the decline and ultimate fall of the “exploiting class” under the weight of “the socio-class contradiction of capitalism.”

“The end of capitalism is one of inevitabilities of history,” it signs off.

It remains to be seen if the backing of Pyongyang will give the Occupy Wall Street movement fresh momentum.

Best Korea!

 

[Esch]

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Let's not forget the extensive backing of Iran! I've read that Press TV has had a hard on for reporting everything and anything from it and giving encouragement of revolution and other assorted silliness.

That said Best Korea always takes the cake!

The protesters should rejoice. They actually got a government to notice them.

No matter how many times I see I just laugh for a few mins.

 

[demon]

What the fuck? Now that's some trolling.

 

[AiTM]

North Korea has heard the loud cry of the bongo drum.

 

[rdrr gnr]

The banks paid NK to say this about OWS so people would stop taking them so seriously.

 

[winjet81]

The KCNA and the Onion must have the same writers/editors.

Nobody took them seriously in the first place. All it took was one video of the tie dyes and hair braids screaming bloody murder for this to happen.

Yes they did, I recall they offered or top figures suggested the Iranian embassy open up it's doors to protect "political refugees."

Many a laughs were had indeed.

You kind of wonder when the inevitable March of History and extinguishing of the capitalist order is going to really reach climax... I mean, c'mon Karl, it's been years. We're getting close to 'Jewish Messiah' Status here.
