Communism in Korea

Communism In Korea

The Communist movement in Korea emerged as a political movement in the early 20th century. Although the movement had a minor role in pre-war politics, the division between the communist North Korea and the anti-communist South Korea came to dominate Korean political life in the post-World War II era. North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, continues to be a juche socialist state under the rule of the Workers Party of Korea. In South Korea, communism remains illegal through the National Security Law.
