1955. Juche concept / Juche idea [1] -> every time I find a text that made its way out of North Korea one of my top thoughts is "these need better translators" — I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I just feel like somebody with better knowledge of foreign languages should actually fix up these ontologies and really steelman what they're saying. no reason I can't start doing a bit of it here.
      what will the field code and swatch for Juche-socialism be? I'd assumed it could be coded with ML but now I'm thinking harder about the fact many people don't like it and don't really consider it part of mainstream Marxism-Leninism. I think the crimson swatch is okay due to its dedication to avoiding Deng Xiaoping Thought. so what code? NK? is it appropriate to jokingly turn Kim Il-Sung into an abbreviation? when MZ is a tag it wouldn't really be an insult as much as a relatively normal way to name things. maybe I'll look into how to abbreviate "Juche". Juche means... wow. the meaning is way more complicated than I thought it was. depending on what field a speaker of Korean, Chinese, or Japanese uses it in, it means either The Subject or an overall entity? something like that. and I'm not totally sure that in context it doesn't mean both things, like some kind of weird conceptual pun. this... needs a Term page before I get lost. I'm thinking JC considering it's a word from Chinese that neatly breaks in half.
