Ethnic Koreans Tricked into Leaving Japan for North Korea Over 60’s Years Ago Work to Establish Museum
Looking back it is amazing that 93,000 people fell for the “Workers’ Paradise” scam, but it was a very different time back in the 1960’s compared to today:
Eiko Kawasaki stood at the port of Niigata, the place from which she left for North Korea more than 60 years ago, and tossed chrysanthemum flowers into the sea to pray for her peers who could not come back. Then she burst into tears.
As a 17-year-old girl seeking a better life, Kawasaki joined a resettlement program led by North Korea that promised a “Paradise on Earth” — where everything was supposed to be free and those with Korean roots like her could live without facing discrimination.
Kawasaki was among some 93,000 ethnic Korean residents in Japan and their relatives who joined the program only to find the opposite of what was promised. Most were put to brutal manual labor at mines, in forests and on farms and faced discrimination because of Japan’s past colonization of the Korean Peninsula.
One of the rare survivors who made it back to Japan, her birthplace, Kawasaki, now 79, is on a mission to keep alive the tragic stories and memories of the deceived “resettlement” victims.
She aspires to open a museum and revitalize a street in Niigata to commemorate the resettlement program under the auspices of Japanese and Korean friendship groups.

You can read more at the link, but it is likely that most of the 93,000 ethnic Koreans from Japan are dead considering their very low social status in North Korea that would have led them into forced labor and little food.
Anybody who even thinks communism can deliver on a promise that “everything is free” deserves to labor in a calcium mine until they realize the truth… or 20 years… whichever is longer.
It seems the best way to cure communism in misguided youth is to give them communism.
The Robot Revolution is going to change things though. Communism is actually going to work pretty well in the few years between “I can play all day because a robot is continuously maintaining the fusion reactor while another robot farms” and “There might be some rats over there in the bone pile if I can just avoid the sentient extermination droids.”
Tragic; but the reason for so-called “fairy tales” of the Brother Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and others was to teach children not to fall for the “would you like to see my puppy” or “I have candy and ice cream in the back of my van” tricks that commies and other p3dos use to lure the lazy, gullible, and greedy away from their homes.
Don’t fall for the “Gingerbread House” propaganda and you might avoid being “eaten” by the State…
