[Marxism] What do Koreans think

[Nestor Gorojovsky]

A most insightful suggestion.

A couple of ideas to add.

a) Bombed out to ashes of ashes, the Northern tier of the Korean 
territory, which had been the industrial core of the Japanese-occupied 
bloc in North Eastern Asia together with parts of Manchuria (the Manchu 
Kuo), saw itself suddenly transformed into a desperately hungry peasant 
country, deprived of the up to then usual inflow of foodstuff from the 
South. Perhaps this gives a social base to such religious transformation.

b) As a rule of thumb, I find it useful, when thinking of this kind of 
processes in semicolonial countries, to take into consideration events 
that took place in Western Europe between the 16th and 17th Century. 
Starting with the German upheavals, throught the Dutch revolution (the 
Flanders war was the Viet Nam of  Hapbsburg Spain), peaking in the 
English Revolution.

Too busy today. Sorry to leave this at this point.
