The '''Korean War''', also known as the '''Fatherland Liberation War''' in DPRK, was a severely devastating armed conflict which broke out between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea. Although an armistice ceased armed conflict, the war is not officially over to the present day. The former was supported by her sister socialist nations, the USSR and the People's Republic of China. The latter was led by the United Nations, which was then controlled and manipulated by the United States since the USSR was absent boycotting the United Nations due to the non-admission of PRC.

== Events ==

=== Background ===
The Soviets had agreed to an impromptu proposal from the American side that Korea should be divided along the 38th parallel for the purpose of acceptation of military surrender. The persistence of this divide in the Korean peninsula had been the result of a class conflict which broke out following the departure of the occupying Japanese colonial forces and differing occupation regimes. A revolutionary tide was sweeping the peninsula with People's Committees being formed and a united Korean People's Republic had been formed, constituting a heavy socialist presence much to the anguish of the then-temporary American Occupation forces.
The Syngman Rhee regime was marked by mass repressions against the revolutionary movements and political activity generally - all political parties denounced the 1948 elections as. There was a lot of migration between the two occupation zones : political refugees went to the north, the dispossessed classes of landlords and merchants who supported the Japanese occupation fled to the south.

=== Entry of People's China ===

== International involvement/reactions ==

=== United Nations ===
At the time the Soviet Union was boycotting the Security Council due to the dispute over the Chinese seat in the UN going to the representatives of the Kuomintang regime in Taiwan, effectively disenfranchising the Chinese. While American influence already dominated the UN vis-a-vis the Marshall Plan ,taking advantage of Soviet absence the US hijacked the United Nations Security Council for its own designs upon Korea

The delegates of India and Egypt both initially voted in favour of the UN resolution declaring DPRK aggressor. Though the Egyptian delegate, Mahmoud Fawzi Bey, reverted to abstention. However, the Indian delegation went on to endorse even the second resolution which sanctioned the use of armed force against the DPRK, under American pressure.

== Events ==

=== Prelude ===
Although the beginning of the Korean war is said to have been started by a supposedly surprise invasion of 50k North Korean soldiers on the 26th of June 1950 according to popular bourgeois propaganda, a definitive beginning of the war is much more contentious. The divide in the Korean peninsula had been the result of a class conflict which broke out following the departure of the occupying Japanese colonial forces . A revolutionary tide was sweeping the peninsula with People's Committees being formed and a united Korean People's Republic had been formed, constituting a heavy socialist presence much to the anguish of the then-temporary American Occupation forces.

Marxism–Leninism

2021-03-16T22:53:41Z

RandomUser34:

[[File:Marxism-leninism symbol.png|thumb]]
'''Marxism-Leninism''' is a [[Communism|communist]] ideology and was main communist movement throughout the 20th century. Marxism–Leninism was the formal name of the official state ideology adopted by the [[Soviet Union]], the [[Eastern Bloc]] and various self-declared ''[[Scientific socialism|scientific socialist]]'' governments in the [[Non-Aligned Movement]] and [[Third World]] during the [[Cold War]] as well as the [[Communist International]] after [[Bolshevisation]].

Today, Marxism–Leninism is the ideology of several [[communist parties]] and remains the official ideology of the ruling parties of [[Communist Party of China|China]], [[Communist Party of Cuba|Cuba]], [[Lao People's Revolutionary Party|Laos]] and [[Communist Party of Vietnam|Vietnam]] as unitary [[one-party]] [[Socialist republic|socialist republics]] and of [[Nepal Communist Party|Nepal]] in a [[People's Multiparty Democracy|people's multiparty democracy]].

The ideology was formally synthesized by [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]], derived from theory and practice developed mainly by [[Marx]], [[Engels]] and [[Lenin]]. Based on the [[Marxism|Marxist]] [[Historical materialism|conception of history]] and critique of political economy, Marxism-Leninism made significant contributions to the critique of the [[Imperialism|imperialist]] development of capitalism and developed its own theoretical categories related to the revolutionary praxis and political party organization, such as ''[[vanguard party]]'' and ''[[democratic centralism]].''

After the success of the [[Russian revolution]] in 1917 and the establishment of the [[Soviet Union]], many communist parties around the world adopted Marxism-Leninism as their political line, and was the guiding theoretical framework behind the [[Korean revolution|Korean]], [[Vietnamese revolution|Vietnamese]], and the [[Chinese revolution|Chinese]] revolutions.

== Origin of the term ==
Lenin never used the term "Leninism", nor did he include his ideas in the term "Marxism-Leninism". However, his ideas developed out of classical marxist thought, which was seen by the Bolsheviks as Lenin's advancement of Marxism, and by others as the opposite. After Lenin's death in 1924, his ideas and contributions to Marxism were codified as "Marxism-Leninism" by [[Stalin]] and the term soon became the name given to this theoretical framework by communist parties around the world.
