North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for rewriting the North’s constitution to eliminate the idea of shared statehood between the war-divided countries.
I read a long time ago that German reunification was possible because the division was 2 generations long. They hypothesized that when you get to 3+ generations long it would be extremely difficult, which is where Korea is.
Yeah people only saw the treats West germany had but not the shameless exploitation needed to acquire them. They didn’t know what actual life under capitalism was like. After reunification the mass layoffs and wholesale of entire industries came as a big shock, some people genuinely thought the state could just provide them with a different job if the capitalists fired them. A lot of women were shocked to find out how much gender equality was lagging behind what they previously had had.
