	Brezjnev and the National Democratic Revolution
		In avoiding the problem of the real character of a revolutionary party, the CPSU defines the revolutionary party as a party in which there is a "faction of workers and peasants" cooperating with factions of the bourgeoisy, all working peacefully together towards their respective goals.
		It is impossible to judge a party without a study of the social changes within the compradore bourgeoisy and the bureaucratic class and in the ranks of the national bourgeoisy and the small bourgeoisy.
		The Meison party, which wanted to use the Derg to become the leading marxist-leninist party in the country, was obliterated during the second half of 1977 by the men of Menghistu.

	Asia Society: Publications - Korea's 16th National Assembly Elections

		In the event that no significant party in the legislative race is led by a politician from the voter’s region, the voter may still engage in regional voting, by not supporting the candidate whose party is headed by a politician from a rival region.

	Korean War Educator: Korea Today - the Real Picture of Human Rights
		The North Korean penal code is also designed to solidify the father-to-son hereditary dictatorship because it stipulates, "this code is designed to safeguard the Leader and his revolutionary line, thus to dye the whole society only with Juche Ideology" (Article 4).
		North Korean school education concentrates on implanting in the minds of the students the belief that they must not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.
		Instead, it urges the people to abide by the principles of collectivism and the North Korean form of socialism which are designed to prolong the existing dictatorship descending from father Kim to son Kim.

	Korean as standart language
		Korean system of the “levels of speech”, albeit closely paralleled by the Japanese system of honorific expressions, is perhaps unique in that it utilizes both grammatical markers of several kinds (case markers, honorific suffixes, special verbal particles) and special words and expressions.
		Thus, “Korean language globalisation” cited by Korean governmental institutions as the main reason for lavishly subsidising foreign (first and foremost, American) Korean-teaching institutions, in reality is often limited to the preservation of Korean Diaspora’s ethnic legacy against the assimilation trends, and does not influence non-Korean local society too strong.
		From the social and political viewpoint, giving any official status to the language, which is not generally spoken at all by a large and culturally homogenous group of populace, the Northerners, is hardly feasible.

	Korean Social Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Korean Social Democratic Party was formed on November 3, 1945 by medium and small entrepreneurs, merchants, handicraftsmen, petty bourgeoisie, some peasants, and Christians, supposedly out of the masses’ purported anti-imperialist, anti-feudal aspirations and demands to eliminate the aftermath of Japanese imperialist military rule and build a (purportedly) new democratic society.
		Before 1980s, the party was called Democratic Party of Korea.
		Its nominal guiding idea is national social democracy befitting Korea’s historical conditions and national characteristics and its supposed basic political motto is "independence, sovereignty, democracy, peace and the defence of human rights" while North Korea is in fact a communist single-party dictatorship, in which the Social Democratic Party has no real influence.

	STATISTICS OF NORTH KOREAN GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER
		As North Korean troops advanced into South Korea during the Korean War and were followed by communist officials, they systematically massacred former South Korean government officials, anti-communists, and others deemed hostile to the communists; and such killing was intensified as North Koreans retreated from the South.
		From this it seems that North Koreans killed from 5,000 to 12,000 ROK POWs (line 121), which is consistent with their murder of 5,000 to 6,000 American POWs (line 141).
