Hwang Jang-yop | North Korea’s Philosopher
Since the founding of North Korea, a dictator has loomed over the people exercising strong control. What was the philosophical backing that led to this situation? The answer is the philosopher Hwang Jang-yop. Hwang Jang-yop served as the ideological secretary and ghostwriter during the rule of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. He was a major contributor to the state ideology of Juche but more importantly the Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System. These ten principles help build up a cult of personality around Kim Il Sung and we can see these principles being followed today around Kim Jong Un. Despite his high rank and influence, Hwang would defect to South Korea, condemning the family and people he left behind. He tried to atone for his sins by criticizing the North Korean regime, but didn't live long enough to see any change. #philosophy #history #politics Music by: Hoobeza Instagram: amygdalacomics Donations: https://ko-fi.com/philosophytoons Business Email: [email protected]
