  • Is there anything an American can (legally) do to support the DPRK?

    What are elections like in the DPRK? What was the last election [DPRK diplomat] participated in?

  • Can he tell us some good drunks to own the libs with? I am not being cute an actually allyop dunk powered by a DPRK diplomat would go hard as hell.

  • I just don't know enough about the dprk to ask a salient question. And all I want to know is how much I can relate to the citizens. There was that, if memory serves (and I don't think it does), Iraqi woman who said famously "you have more in common with an Iraqi citizen than you do with an American billionaire."

    So I'm curious about their entertainment consumption. Do you use the Internet? Do they watch One Piece? Do you have forums where people post memes? Do you play video games? Do you get access to international friends (clearly you do in some capacity to know Mohammed)?

  • Btw everyone here so far had their questions asked ,tomorrow by 11 o’clock in my country ,I should have at least one of these questions answered

    Something to remember is that this person can’t answer some questions due to the nature of the DPRK

  • In the west, television, videogames and social media have been the primary pasttimes that occupy people when not working. Mon-Fri most people come home from work, cook, then engage in one of these for the rest of the evening. What are the pasttimes of people in the DPRK?

  • My question would be is to ask 'If representatives from the international departments of communist parties from around the would wished to reach out and a establish fraternal connection to the international department of our comrades of the Workers Party of Korea, to whom and where should should we work to reach out towards?"

  • Can we have a meat, chicken, and meaty noodles recipe (so three recipes) unique to the DPRK please? I'll take even just one recipe if three is too much trouble!

    EDIT: oooh, and a chicken bun recipe please! If I can only have one recipe please let it be this!

  • Before the pandemic I learnt of some friendly visits of European and North American socialists and communists to the DPRK. Have these types of visits resumed? Are they fruitful for the DPRK and, if so, in what way?

  • What's one of the most popular foods that developed uniquely in the DPRK?

  • What is the honest opinion of the DPRK people (or the present leadership) about Kim Jong-il, especially with regards to his relationship with China?

    Was he justified in his hatred for China, or did he screw up an important relationship?

    • Sorry, second question, regarding Juche ideology: has the view of the Juche ideology that “men shall prevail over nature” been adjusted given that the harsh climate of Northeast Asia requires the DPRK to spend 20% of their GDP annually just on agriculture alone, and had often caused unpredictable outcomes to crop yield, most notably the disastrous weather effects of 1994-1996 and the great famine that ensued?

      What is the DPRK position on climate change? Do they think that the warming climate in the north will be beneficial to them (geopolitically and economically) or will the unpredictable effects of climate change bring further uncertainty to the country?

      • What is the DPRK position on climate change? Do they think that the warming climate in the north will be beneficial to them (geopolitically and economically) or will the unpredictable effects of climate change bring further uncertainty to the country?

        Not a substitute for a direct answer, but while researching various minister positions in the DPRK a while back, I found that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) has done work in the North. An excerpt from them on climate change and Korea:

        The DPR Korea is seriously affected by climate change. During the last 100 years, temperature changes have affected rainfall patterns and brought frequent occurrences of extreme weather including floods and droughts, which in turn impacted on socio-economic development and people’s livelihood.

        The occurrence of frequent natural disasters, mostly caused by erratic and often extreme climatic conditions have significantly contributed to making agricultural production unstable and, hence, to insufficient food supply and national food insecurity in DPR Korea. Natural disasters have the effect of negative impacts twice on food and agricultural sector since these not only damage the crops in the current year but also the infrastructures and material basis for production in the subsequent years. Their impacts last long and, in many cases, extra budgets are needed for rehabilitation.

    • I know the diplomat likes Kim Jong Il and my friend from the DPRK liked them all ,though He does seem like the most controversial person of the three

      Kim Il Sung being the most popular

      Here’s the thing when I asked them on how they view Mao Zedong ,they told me that he had fights with him as well as Khrushchev over de stanlization which Kim Il Sung opposed ,when I told them that people in most of the world view Mao as someone who opposed de stanlization ,this is what they said

      I’ll give you it from the beginning

      “Hello and thank you for your question.

      In the 1950's Mao Zedong and Nikita Khrushchev came to odds with President Kim Il Sung over De-Stalinization. Mao Zedong made veiled threats of ousting President Kim Il Sung over the issue and that soured the DPRK-Chinese relationship.”

      I replied “ That’s what makes me wonder , from what I know the DPRK sees Stalin as a great leader right? ,I might be wrong and that’s how Mao saw it which is why I don’t get what his problem was with the DPRK

      As for Khrushchev ,didn’t he also have problems with the DPRK ?

      So what did the DPRK do when it came to “De-Stalinzation” ,did it refuse de stanlization or did it accept it ??

      That’s my question”

      He replied

      “Yes. That is correct Stalin is seen as a great leader in the DPRK.

      Chinese and Soviet agents together attempted to overthrow President Kim Il Sung over ideological disagreements stemming from the President’s rejection of de-Stalinzation. President Kim Il Sung was opposed to this sudden shift in ideology and did not follow the Soviet line.

      The event is called the Second Arduous March which occurred in 1956 if you wish to learn more about the specifics which occurred.”

      I replied “ What I don’t understand is that in the west and in the world in general ,Mao was seen as someone who rejected de-Stalinization ,so why and what was his disagreement with President Kim Il Sung over ?

      Did Mao at the time accept De Stalinization ?”

      He replied and gave an extremely interesting answer

      “While Mao Zedong and China was opposed to de stalinization they did not want to fully split from the USSR and enter hostile relations. The attempted removal of President Kim Il Sung was an opportunity for Mao Zedong to demonstrate he was not in favor of abandoning relations with the USSR.”

      He continued later “In reference to your previous question the DPRK, being a nation in a constant struggle for survival maintained a straight course in keeping relations with its neighbors, however DPRK policy would react to whichever the USSR or China seemed more likely to fight for Korean independence if necessary.

      However border disputes in the late 60’s deeply soured DPRK-China relations for the coming years.”

      So tbh I don’t wanna hear any more conversations on who was wrong in the sino Soviet split ,if this is true it’s clear it was absolutely the USSR’s and mainly Khrushchev’s fault, the sad thing is Brezhnev did try to fix relations with Mao ,but Mao was of the deep end at that point in his life

      He still hasn’t answered your question btw ,this is just me saying what I have been told from him and my other friend

  • I've just harassed someone to sticky this for you.

    If you can will you put this in c/ama when you do post answers with a link back to the questions thread? We can throw up a site sticky for it.

    1. How many Korean college students study abroad?

    2. What are the top 3 countries Koreans like to travel for vacation?

    1. how do people inside the DPRK regard the recent turmoil in south korea?
    2. how relevant do people inside the DPRK see the conflicts in the middle east, ukraine to their own national security? And do they feel that their affinity with russia/china/iran has increased or decreased in the last 10 years?
    3. In the last trump presidency, there was a meeting which appeared to be PR. How did people inside the DPRK regard the last trump presidency, and how do they feel about the incoming one?
    4. How has the relations of DPRK with Cuba changed since the new south korean embassy?

    • Something interesting they told me is “ Hello comrade.

      I’ll respond to the comment of the DPRK being less devoted than others nation’s.

      The DPRK is honest about that fact that development is less than that of the South or the United States, however, they purposefully hinder the DPRK’s industrial and human development by unjust sanctions.

      In the face of such crimes the Korean people’s will to survive is momentous and telling. Despite the imperialists best efforts the DPRK stands strong.

      Furthermore, the DPRK is honest that investment in the nation has been uneven. That meaning investment from the government has been focused on industrial areas compared to rural areas. However, Respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un pledged to rectify this wrong and put the impetuous behind rural development.

      The DPRK is honest in the fact of the state of its development.”

      During the talk with my friend (not the diplomat) ,he states that he hopes trump would end all the ongoing wars in reference to the war in Gaza and the war in Ukraine and when I asked them ,he told me that he thinks trump will focus on their technology while “we” in reference to me and him can deal with Israel

      Btw this is all still not answered ,I’m telling you what I already know ,there’s still more to learn

      I haven’t asked the question about Cuba but when I mentioned it ,the diplomat told me that the DPRK is proud to stand by Cuba as an ally and my DPRK friend told me it’s his favorite communist country so it doesn’t seem the embassy changed their views that much

      Not to mention they don’t seem to hate South Korea at all tbh ,they know it’s an American occupation but besides that ,they don’t hold much hostility

      Keep in mind ,I will update you tomorrow Inshallah

    1. Do you know much about transgender or LGBT issues?

    2. Are there any transgender or LGBT organizations that we can write to in the DPRK? There are a lot of LGBT communists that would be very excited for this opportunity! (myself and much of hexbear included!)

    3. Will you make an account on Hexbear? :P

    Thanks again for being a globe trotter Mohammed cat-trans

    • On the HexeBear account thing, they told me that they will talk to their superiors to see if they can

      There approach to communication is surprisingly open ,though they did tell me that they prefer spaces that have people that don’t support them because communists already know the truth about the DPRK ,they are not interested in support from people who already support them

      That been said they still said they will tell their superiors at work

      Your welcome friend 😉

      I’ll ask them ,hope they answer by tomorrow

      • This is super cool, I hope it works out!

        inb4 this gets spun in the wider fediverse as an example of hexbear spreading DPRK propaganda

  • Favourite foreign cuisine and least favourite cuisine as a fun/light question

  • If you would like to set up an ask me anything post with yourself as a facilitator or with the diplomat on an account I would be happy to help you.

    What is their favourite local food/dish?

    • Here’s the thing ,the diplomat is only available at a certain time during the day in my country (Palestine) and the end of the day (afternoon) in Korea

      So it’s a bit tricky but they do always answer which is a good thing

      • Posting a questions thread (like this one) then following up with a separate answers thread in c/ama is perfectly adequate for a situation like that.

        If they want to do a live ama that can also be facilitated with a set date/time. We can limit it to a certain amount of time and push it before hand. The benefit of this is it can also be shouted about elsewhere comrades gather which can draw in more participation.

        Also worth mentioning to them that we could go further and do it with someone else too if they're willing. The floor isn't just open to the diplomat I think there's a lot of different amas that people would be quite interested in.

        The questions then answers format in separate threads is probably less daunting and also easier to screen out questions they can't answer (or don't want to) without causing a scene though.

  • I actually have one from a dumbass debate/argument I had in a comment section on TikTok like 2 months ago; Are citizens allowed to choose their job/career and are they forced to work?

    I know this sounds dumb and I think I know the answer but after having probably the dumbest argument ever, I realize it's actually a blind spot for me. Or, if you could just give me some general info on employment in the DPRK, that would be great.

    • I'll ask someone from the USSR to answer your question, I don't think this requires asking a DPRK diplomat. I'll update this when I get an answer.
