For some reason I can't connect to any .kp websites at the moment, but I am wondering where they consider the current frontier in state ideology to be. That is to say, what new ideological work are they concerned with? Not just the preservation of standing ideology among the people, which I understand is a necessity.
I've read some of their publications -- and here I am most thinking of the humorously titled "No One Can Replace Women" (available online at kass.org.kp if I remember right) -- and I can't help but notice reactionary trends. For example, in the aforementioned article, women are given such a status because of their ability to produce and rear children. I'll grant the first part, but the publication says things like, paraphrasing, "a mother must devote the entirety of her existence to raising her child" with no mention of others being involved, even the father. Are we really going to endorse such an isolating family structure? Are we not going to exercise collective life by involving others, even beyond the father, in the task of child-rearing? Can't a mother have other aspirations for her own accomplishments besides reproduction? Or does it believe a mother has no other life for however many years?
This isn't a one-off, I just don't have access to the website to refresh my memory or read more articles.
Edit: the collection of articles might also be on naenara.com.kp, idk
This question in particular I think is very important because of south Korea’s misogynistic views on women
