Dear Comrade Leader, Episode 236
Chapter 84. martyr
“… … Therefore, our ideology and struggle goal is to follow the precedent of South Korea by introducing Western-style liberal democracy, overthrowing the tyrannical dictatorship of the Workers’ Party of Korea and further, General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan, and distributing the wealth concentrated on capitalists and donors to the people, thereby distributing the gap between the rich and the poor. It can be summed up as overthrowing the government and ultimately realizing the true meaning of communism to completely liberate the people from the oppression of capital and power. … .”
“Hold on a second, Representative Ri Kyung-soo. Let me ask you something. So what exactly is that tyrannical dictatorship now? I’m sorry, but it didn’t feel right.”
“I thought I would understand this well because the reporter’s comrade is from South Korea, but it’s frustrating.
“I can’t even see it.”
“Huh really… … !!!”
Ri Kyung-soo, a representative of the Korean Socialist Student Federation, lamented with a frustrated expression at the reporter of the Korea Ilbo, who interrupted his speech while listening with a grim expression.
The people of the republic have been structurally brainwashed into this one-man dictatorship by Kim Jeong-hwan from birth, so even so, does that mean that a journalist from South Korea, a free world Korea, cannot face the reality of the republic like this?
Today, under the hot summer sun, I was shouting slogans and waving flags, and while I was sitting on the sidewalk near the protest site, a reporter from the Korea Daily, who looked at him dissatisfiedly, said, ‘I’m not sure I’m going to die in the heat, haven’t I?’ He asked again with a look.
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to ask for a while. North Korea now… … That is why they say that the Kim Jung-hwan regime in this republic is a tyrannical dictatorship, but in our view, there is absolutely no basis for that.”
“… … What?”
“They say it’s a dictatorship, but in reality, they come out here and protest every day and distribute handouts. In fact, in a democratic country, they do everything they do.”
“Hey, all the media are on their side. No, in the first place, they are all state-run media, and they are not just one body.”
“… … Even so, from my point of view as a foreign correspondent, it doesn’t seem like the state-run media is using words that are significantly different from the facts. It is also true that we fought together with yangbans who followed the Juche ideology. It is also true that he suffered a fight while negotiating with the Ministry of Public Security. It’s also true that the Juche ideological circles and the union members had an internal strife and are now punching each other. Isn’t it all lies?”
“They do not report it purely from their point of view, mixing it with editorial and tone, and distorting it for the purpose of indoctrination of the people. After all, that’s the most insidious trick of deception… … .”
“Even in democracies, the pro-government media and newspapers have different tendencies and tones. The same goes for our Korea Daily. In the first place, when I was interviewed with the American media and myself, it was a little too much to see as media control.”
“… … profit… … !!!”
At the reporter’s words, which seemed to be slowly raising the drug, Ri Kyung-soo unwittingly put strength into his fists, but he was unable to object.
Even though the reporter was from South Korea, the general public’s view of the Hakchongryon was not much different from what he said now.
And even after seeing that, the reporter of the Korea Ilbo in question did not stop talking, but started talking even more as if mocking him.
“… … Besides, the people called the Public Security Department aren’t really stopping it, they’re just watching the deputy delegates and the members of the Hakchongryun protesting, and there’s no visible repression or attempts to neutralize them. How the hell am I supposed to see this as a dictatorship?”
“no!! There’s the main system… … No, do you come up with such words even when you see the bastards of the Patriotic Front come out and beat our comrades?”
“Isn’t the public power mobilized? If members of private organizations fight each other by the neck, it cannot be seen as suppression of democratization protests by dictators. It seems to me that the people who are really suffering are the yangbans. Maybe our readers in Korea think so too?”
“So, what do you want to say?”
“I know that we called to inform you about the protests of those people here. From the reporter’s point of view, the angle of the article does not come out, the angle. In fact, not only us, but American reporters and other foreign media over there, right? Reporting on the recent growth of North Korean IT companies or things like this is more likely to get hits than we do in reporting on such things.
“What? like this? who dies? Don’t you shut up this ganna bastard? We are now fighting for our lives! Do you guys know the determination and the desperation?”
Ri Kyung-soo, who finally exploded in anger, jumped up from his seat, sparking sparks from his eyes, and approached the reporter of the Korea Ilbo as if he was going to grab him by the collar right away.
Then the reporter quickly shut his mouth and took a few steps back.
Of course, it was a problem because I didn’t forget to grumble a few words in the midst of it.
“… … Aww!! If you do this wrong, you will hit someone. All of these things, North and South, who don’t study and like to crowd around during protests, are all violent.”
“Aren’t you going to turn off right away before you turn on Jury?”
In the end, the reporter told me to save my life and ran away.
I thought for a moment whether I should follow him and change his habit, but Ri Kyung-soo stopped on the spot, sighing that the ground was gone.
I thought it was useless anyway.
“I mean, it’s not wrong, but… … .”
Like the monologue of Ri Kyung-soo, who muttered bitterly, kicking aside the unresponsive protests that day, and marching to the Hakchon-ryon headquarters, the current struggle of the Hakchon-ryon was sluggish.
To tell the truth, not only the Korea Daily, but also the Hak Chongryon themselves were feeling that at first the British and American media, who were eager to cover them, saying they were ‘trumpets of democratization that took place for the first time in a dictatorship’ were slowly tilting their heads.
The reason was that, as a reporter of the Korea Daily pointed out just before, I couldn’t see the composition, demonstrations, violent suppression, death toll, angry public, and the demands of liberal democracy roaming the streets that are common in other dictatorship countries and protesters demanding democracy.
‘It can’t be like this.’

Now in the 21st century, paper newspapers are no longer the only information delivery medium, and we are in a situation where we have to compete with numerous internet news and blogs.Some radical futurists even predict that the paper newspaper will be completely extinct within 10 years.
Although Western progressive media such as CNN have delivered their news continuously and favorably to overseas countries rather than the Korea Daily, they are also media companies that make a living from readers’ interest and subscription fees.
It is impossible to allocate reporters and space indefinitely to issues that are difficult to provoke public interest. there was.
The former Juche system, the current mobilized government organizations such as the Patriotic Front, often fight with humans, but that doesn’t mean they’re on good terms even with the labor union. I want to be a dictator.
Moreover, due to the changed political landscape in South Korea, the reality was that conservative media outlets such as the Goryeo Ilbo did not even report favorably on the pro-democracy protests against the Kim Jong-hwan regime in North Korea.
And for these reasons, the struggle of the Hakchongryon, which started with great momentum, is slowly dying out in the public’s indifference and ignorance just one year after its inception.
In fact, when Ri Kyung-soo arrived at the office of the Kimdae Student Auditorium, which was being used as the temporary headquarters, the Chongryon executives, including the chairperson, were engrossed in an unanswered discussion as they had been doing every day.
“It can’t be like this! The general public doesn’t care at all… … There must be some special measures… … .”
“No, then, Comrade Ri Kyung-soo is going to go over there and ask him to beat us?”
“… … Isn’t that what it means!”
Ri Kyung-su burst out in anger as if frustrated and rolled his feet.
Once they clap their hands, it makes a sound, and when there is an evil villain, the heroes who fight against it get attention.
However, since there is no visible oppression from the other side, it is like shouting into the air alone.
Ri Kyung-soo was even shocked when he heard a passing hat say these things while fighting with the main system human beings who had been arguing first during a protest a while ago.
-Omani, why do those comrades fight like that every time they open their eyes?
– Shh, don’t look at me. If you don’t study hard now, you will become that kind of person later when you grow up. Got it?
It was only after hearing this that Ri Kyung-soo and the leadership of the Hakchon-ryon realized that the recent terrorism of the people of the Patriotic Front who had been attached to the other side was not aimed at physically disbanding them.
If the party had intended to do so in the first place, it would be much faster and simpler to mobilize only one battalion of the Security Ministry’s mobile riot squad rather than the Patriotic Front.
The real purpose of the party, and General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan, was to instill that same hat in the common people.
To make it look like a dissatisfied person who makes noise all day long, fighting over ideas that neither of them can understand nor sympathize with, from the point of view of the people who just focus on making a living every day.
But if you don’t counterattack, you can’t be disbanded after being beaten unilaterally by an attack from the other side… … .
The adage that the opposite of love is indifference, not hate, has never been more realistic these days.
“If that’s not what you mean, what do you mean? Yegi, the main system of the Patriotic Front has also been attached to the other side, and now it is outnumbered, so if the Ministry of Public Security says that the Rochester Union will only negotiate with traitors under the world, there is nothing to say! First of all, even if it is difficult right now, we need to show the masses and the party that our Hakchongryon is not dead by continuing the demonstrations… … .”
“… … It can’t be done the way it used to be.”
“What if it doesn’t work the way it used to? Comrade Ri Kyung-soo said that he had a secret… … .”
“… … .Someone who dies must come. It’s from our school district.”
“… … .what?”
“That’s how you get attention, whether it’s the masses of the people or the media. Otherwise, our Hakchon-ryon, and furthermore, the liberal democracy of this republic will collapse without budging.”
As soon as Ri Kyung-soo said those words, even the leaders and the chairman who were arguing at the table stopped talking and everyone looked at him.
In fact, the reason he came to this thought was the tactic of arming the dead Kim Il-sung of the Patriotic Front, which coincidentally became an enemy some time ago (though he was definitely not a friend before).
When a person dies, everyone is beautified.
Even Osama bin Laden, who died in Afghanistan right now, was in a position to be treated lightly by the same Muslims and terrorists who attacked civilians while he was alive, but didn’t he become a martyr when the corrupt CCP regime put him to death?
If that is the case, then there is no reason that they cannot use such a fighting method.
If only there were people who would sacrifice their lives for a cause and become a scapegoat.
“… … Comrade Ri Kyung-soo, on a hot day like today, I went out and was engrossed in fighting, so I got hot, huh?”
“Read the history of the struggle for democracy of the South Korean comrades who walked the same path as us. It was only after the governors such as Lee Han-yeol and Park Jong-cheol, who fought in blood, finally collapsed under oppression and died, then the masses of the people rose up. We, too, need a companion who will be a corpse for those who follow.”
“Obviously you are right, but isn’t that what you want to avoid the most over there right now? In the face of even mobilizing public security agents to prevent the death from appearing, what the hell… … .”
“We had to go ahead and argue with the public security agents. If we stay still, we won’t know, if we hit first, they’ll try to arrest and arrest us, even if it’s random. At that time, we must collect evidence of repression and distribute the scene of our being captured in the overseas media. Only then did the spark of this revolution not be extinguished!”
“… … And what if the mice and birds die without knowing it? No, aside from dying, you may be taken to a place like a kyohwaso that the party has remodeled and never come back.
“Of course it is me. I became a torchbearer by taking the lead.”
At Ri Kyung-soo’s calm but determined words, the mouths of everyone sitting at the table were instantly closed.
Dozens of eyes focused on him, but Ri Kyung-soo himself did not waver at all.
From the very beginning, when I first entered the Hakchhongryon, I had no intention of fighting to save my life.
I’ve been thinking about it all the time, but now there’s only one way left.
If you don’t put it into action before it’s too late, you’ll never have a chance.
“I still have a few comrades who think the same as me. All of them are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of democracy and freedom in this country. Just don’t let us die.”
“… … Comrade Kyungsoo Lee. Are you serious?”
“We have all been prepared for a long time to overthrow Kim Jung-hwan’s dictatorship. My life and my body will die, but my descendants will live in a free republic. In the past, I was taught to throw myself as a gun bomb for the leader and the party, but for the sake of future freedom, why can’t I do anything other than a gun bomb?”
Fellow executives still looked at him as if it was hard to believe, but Ri Kyung-soo was determined.
Of course, Ri also had a family and parents, but he believed that his family would understand that living long in a repressed country like now is worse than dying.
Life had long been neglected.
“Don’t forget to have foreign media on standby at the right place at the right time. What is important is the response of the people of the Republic. Only when we all stand up together can we overthrow the dictatorship of Kim Jung-hwan and the Workers’ Party of Korea. A revolution is accompanied by blood.”
“… … You must have done that.”
“And if I don’t come back, think I’m dead. That alone is enough to make headlines and cause public outrage. Even if I die, I will be reborn as a lamp of the democratic revolution and live forever in the memory of the people. That is enough for me.”
In this way, a counterattack against the Workers’ Party of Korea and General Secretary Kim Jeong-hwan was prepared.
And unlike their blades, which have been dulled by division and misunderstanding, this attack, which was united with the determination to die, was sharper than ever and aimed at their common goal, the general secretary.
