If a successful communist revolution happened in South Korea it would severely weaken us geopolitical influence in that area. It is also less locked down there as the entirety of the United States military is not there and it would take time for the US to be able to interfere. A revolution would have to be fast though to be successful. Do you think it is possible to use the Internet to radicalize people in South Korea or would someone have to take a risk and physically go there. The birth rate in South Korea is the lowest in the world. Most people are unhappy there so we could theoretically give them an answer to their problems. There would probably be a better chance at succeeding than in the United States right now because south Korea is practically end stage capitalism with the top 30 companies owning 76.9% of gdp. Isn’t this the perfect stage for a revolution according to Marx?

    You don’t exactly fill up a monopoly meter and get a revolution in the imperial core countries. The crises of capitalism are exported to the periphery until it is no longer physically possible (environmental devastation, political opposition) or there is a logistical/financial breakdown. I’ll try to come back to this later since it deserves to be broken down.
