If Corbyn is elected, he must ensure that Britain plays an active role in working towards Korean reunification.

On June 8th 2017, the British people will head to the polling booths to vote for the candidate that they believe will best serve the British people. Clearly, the only candidate that will serve the interests of the general populace of the United Kingdom is Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. This should be obvious to anybody with a modicum of intelligence. His policies are the only ones that truly stand for workers' rights, the environment, education, our NHS and for a peaceful foreign policy. If he is not elected, Britain will be headed for a strong and stable route towards the abyss.

This is an open letter from a concerned citizen of the United Kingdom to our Prime-Minister-to-be Jeremy Corbyn. I am asking him to work towards an issue that concerns the advance of socialism and world peace. This issue is the reunification of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (commonly known as North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (commonly known as South Korea).

Recently, the South Korean people overthrew their oppressive and corrupt conservative President Park Geun-hye and elected Moon Jae-in, a candidate who wishes to break away from U.S. influence and establish ties with North Korea, in order to work towards a process of Korean reunification. He has even stated that he would meet up with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un under the right circumstances. This shows one thing - the South Korean people, crushed under the mighty weight of capitalism, are yearning for change.

Before Korea was split into two, it was unified. The People's Republic of Korea was formed under a socialist government after the Korean people had risen up against Japanese imperialism. After the allies won the second world war, they took control of Korea, with the Soviets having hold over the North, and the Americans having hold over the South. Kim Il-sung, the leader of North Korea, continued the socialist policies of the previous Korean government, later breaking away from Soviet influence and forming a self-reliant Korean state (his philosophy of self-reliance would later come to be known as Juche). Whereas, in the South, the American imperialists scrapped the previous socialist policies and implemented their own capitalist system. The Japanese also began to claim influence in the South, the very oppression they had fought against returning. Kim Il-sung sought to liberate the South Korean people in the Korean war, which would later become known as "the Forgotten war". Forgotten because the American imperialists do not want you to know of the horrors they committed such as the deaths of 1.5 million Korean civilians and the burning down of Korean homes and villages in a war started by them in a paranoid frenzy to defeat "the Red menace" of communism.

Now, it seems the final liberation of the South Korean people may soon come.

If Corbyn is elected, he must work for Korean reunification. He must hold meetings with Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un in order to establish a reunified democratic socialist Korean state. This is important for a multitude of reasons: The first is that socialism must advance worldwide so that we can rid our planet of the capitalist parasites, the second is that we must demonstrate that peaceful diplomacy is the right way to heal conflict rather than brutal militarism, the third is that a reunified Korean state would prove an invaluable ally to the United Kingdom. U.S. President Donald Trump is a bastard and if the U.S. and the U.K. continue their so-called "special friendship" any longer, he will go down the same route as another bastard, former-President George W. Bush who plunged the U.K. led by imperialist lackey Tony Blair into the Iraq war, which Corbyn knows was an unjust war fought on fabricated evidence of WMDs to advance imperialism for the bourgeoisie's own ends.

Corbyn must show that he will not keel over to the imperialist bullies who are pushing for a war with the DPRK. He must display a strong and coherent message that will show the capitalist pigs that he is not their puppet like May, Cameron, Blair, Thatcher and so many other British prime ministers. He must work to sever the chains of the world's proletarians. He must fight for real liberty and real democracy, and for world peace. To do that, he must work for Korean reunification.

The North seems to be moderating in its politics, allowing some private industry; unification might be plausible, but it's not clear what the current power structure looks like. It would probably do a lot of good for the stability of the region.

As you say, peaceful diplomacy is the way to go.
It would be interesting to see what would develop as a compromise state. We may see a mix of public and private industry, depending on how strong the communist ideology still is in the North.
