Can someone tell me why I was told by an r/ultraleft member that Marxist Literature is banned in Dprk?
Well, the “why” is only known to that r/ultraleft user. Unless that user could share evidence of a policy detailing the ban, Marxist Literature is not banned in the DPRK as far as I know. Marxist literature is referenced in plenty of popular books of Kim Jong Il:
Maybe, the user is misinformed or misinterpreting the fact that the Juche idea(born from the teachings of Marxism-Leninism) is taught over other Marxist literature(twisted this information to reach the conclusion that it was “banned”). The answer that clears this confusion is simple and it is referenced in Prolewiki:
This is exactly what I told him that Juche is born out of Marxism-Leninism and is still relevant.
If literature is written in a asiatic language it loses its class chatecter or something.
Most ultroids are about as chauvinistic as that kind of claim so i wouldn’t be surprised if I saw one say it.
