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?

    Do you think they would be willing to do a revolution if things escalate or are they more hoping for a democratic solution still?

    Also why are they anti communist when that is the best solution to their current problem?

      No way to know. For now, it seems electoralism and strikes are how the Korean working class engages with the chaebol and the state.
