Agitprop And The Flip Side Of Anger

As North Korea threatens to recommence nuclear activity, we thought this photo essay of their state-sponsored propaganda posters was a valuable window in the country’s (or at least the country’s government’s) psyche. It’s fascinating to see our ideological differences from the other side, inked into lapidary, us-versus-U.S. slogans and stout, self-sufficient patriots.

Photo: The Korean text above translates to a finger-pointing reversal—“The US is truly an Axis of Evil.”
