I fake-interviewed a real North Korea propaganda book. Here’s what it told me.
[Author’s note: Again, this is NOT a real interview, but the answers to my questions are plucked directly from the book and edited only slightly to increase clarity.]

You claim that the Korean War was the result of American imperialist aggression. What happened?
North Korea Propaganda Book
The US imperialists were absorbed in searching for a way to occupy Korea without shedding blood, and intended to seize by any means even part of the Korean peninsula, if not all, and to use it as a springboard for their future continental aggression. From this crafty design of the US ruling circles sprang the plan for the “bloodless occupation” of Korea.
Sean Illing
What was America’s “bloodless occupation” plan?
North Korea Propaganda Book
They considered that in order to occupy one part of Korea without the least bloodshed they should check the communists’ advance into Korea at a definite point and provide guarantee for this by a certain international agreement.
On this calculation, they adopted a criminal plan, that is, to divide Korea into north and south and prevent her people from liberating their country through their own efforts.

What was America’s goal in South Korea?
North Korea Propaganda Book
To check the South Korean people’s struggle to build a new society and to create conditions favorable for the US occupation of South Korea and its establishment of colonial rule.
Sean Illing
Why do you consider America’s occupation of South Korea the “greatest national misfortune” in the history of the Korean Peninsula?
North Korea Propaganda Book
It was the root cause of a calamity of territorial bisection and national division which the Korean people had never experienced during their long history of 5,000 years. It gave rise to a hotbed of a new war in Korea, and the US imperialist policy of turning South Korea into a military base entered the stage of full-scale realization.
