i’m interested in joining them but i’m confused on what activities they engage in if any (for example do they have meetings or something)

    Don’t join them, they’re pretty brainwormed. There’s no ideological line beyond general support and it’s been taken over by fascists in some places including Italy.

    The director of KFA-UK, I’ve come to find, is a patsoc. I then talked to an ex-member (before knowing they were) and they told me KFA-USA has been taken over by magacommunists, and the person in charge in the past was an actual real MAGA lol

    If you want to do something for the DPRK you can do it independently, I think we’ve reached a point where people are actually receptive of hearing about the actual DPRK.

    Fascists like this type of organisations for two reasons; the first big reason is that they co-opt everything they can get into (and you’ll let them in if your only criteria is “do you support the DPRK”), and the second is that some fascists actually like the DPRK because they think it’s an ethnostate.

      I know this is the internet, but I recently had a lib here literally declare that North Korea is a “cartoon villain dictatorship” and refused to listen to any evidence against that, because they deemed me “condescending” when I answered their questions.

      I don’t know if people are ready to accept any realities about the country, they’d rather have an easy target to hate and the US has had 70 years to train people to hate them.

      That explains a lot about Alejandro Cao de Benós.

      I’m pretty sure he says that Korea is the only socialist country 💀

        Holy shit I didn’t put 2 and 2 together that my contact was talking about that Alejandro. They told me that Alejandro is not actually under threat of being deported to the US (but apparently the org or members play on it?) and that he seems to materially benefit from the org, but they weren’t really clear on what that meant.

        He says that China and Vietnam aren’t socialist even though the DPRK government literally considers them as socialist regularly in state media, even if they do have harsh criticisms of their economic model.

      They think it’s an ethnostate

      Reading the DPRK constitution would shatter their dreams immediately. But then again, since when did fascists ever read?
