Has anyone read The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters by B.R. Myers? I thought it was a brilliant look into the North Korean regime, and how it fundamentally differs from Marxism and Confucianism.

It's how we call the current period, when several middle school edgy kids are free from school during summer vacations, and as a consequence you have absolutely braindead posts circulating in NSG

Not that all school kids flood us with stupid comments just a general tendency that we've noticed.

You absolutely should. It's a bit kooky at times (understandable, given the whole "written in fascist jail" thing), but definitely worth it. It's a good basis if you're interested in cultural studies from a Marxist perspective.
