The gang's all here! On the first classic Proles episode in a while, the crew reads through texts written by Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. We unpack what makes Juche and the DPRK unique inheritors of the tradition of Marxism-Leninism as well as dialectical and historical materialism. Jeremy covers the Juche Idea, Tony talks governance and reuinification, and Rae gives us a look at Korean theater, music, and art. We've started including a short preview of our bonus episodes at the end of the main feed, so stay around for those!
