Useful Idiot: Jang Shi-ki, – Kim Il Sung, African Hero?

According to Dongguk University professor Jang Shi-ki, African countries remember North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung as a great leader and example for Africa:

“Ranked among the likes of India’s Gandhi, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Mao Zedong of China, Kim Il-sung stands out as a great leader, revered by the people of the Third World,” Jang writes. “Therefore, the people of Africa feel more affinity with North Korea than with South Korea.”

Dongguk University says Prof. Jang has been on sabbatical since last July and is in South Africa. From there, he writes, “Most of the fighting against dictatorships in Africa was actually directed against the outside power of the U.S., so for them Kim Il-sung, the leader of a Far Eastern country who was brave enough to stand up to the U.S. even before they did, makes him as worthy of honor as their own leaders. Whenever I am given preferential treatment just because I come from the same country as Kim Il-sung, I feel a little embarrassed.”

How Gandhi gets ranked with Mao, Nasser, and Castro shows what an idiot this Professor Jang is. The only people in Africa that think that Kim Il Sung is a great hero are the Robert Mugabe types.

Remember this useful idiot comes from the same university that gave us another useful idiot Kang Jeong-koo who the conservatives have suddenly given martyr status to by investigating him for breaking the National Security Law. They should have just let Kang stagnate in his own irrelevance instead of giving him a greater platform for his views by investigating him.

Is Dongguk University the Berkley of Korea or is it representative of all universities in Korea? They definitely got some kooks hanging out in this school probably getting payed real well to teach young Koreans their love for Kim Il Sung.
