Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Do you have any suggestion for sources (books, website etc.) about DPKR? I would love to learn more about their political organisation and about social and everyday life.

Edit: thank you everyone for the suggestions!

According to Hakim, Patriots, Traitors, and Empires is about all you need, at least for a start.

That's mostly about recent history of korea (since japanese occupation, up to now), still a great book.

Isn’t that what OP is asking for? They didn’t say Korean history in general, just the DPRK.

OP asked for everyday life in DPRK and their politics, which are not really covered in Gowans book.

I just wanted to clarify that it is an explicitly history book, i still encourage everyone to read it.

Fair, it probably wouldn’t cover daily life, but nonetheless gotta read it.
