    Absolutely. Nodutdol’s Korea Education Toolkit is comprehensive, and is an excellent way to get a deeper understanding. Nodutdol is an anti-imperialist group of Korean ex-pats that seek reunification, and to do so they seek an end to sanctions on the DPRK and the US Empire off the peninsula.

    One of my personal favorite anti-imperialist podcasts is Blowback. Season 3 goes over the Korean War, but if you love podcasts, I recommend listening from season 1, the Iraq War. Doing so will help give you a comprehensive look into how the US Empire works overseas.

    I also recommend the Prolewiki articles on Korea, the DPRK, and the ROK for a Marxist-Leninist perspective. The article on juche is also quite good, in my opinion. There’s also the article South Korea was Created from Thin Air by US Generals.

    Overall, Nodutdol’s list is more than plenty to get a good idea of why we shouldn’t demonize the DPRK, and should instead push for an end to the US Empire’s aggression towards it. I’ll throw in my intro Marxist-Leninist reading list for good measure. You don’t need to be an ML to oppose imperialism against the DPRK, but it’s still helpful for understanding the DPRK’s position and the stances they take.
