Mulonda “Maven” Rashidi, the new leader of the Peace & Justice Party’s youth wing, considers North Korea to be one of the world’s freest and most democratic countries.

Rashidi has shared political videos on TikTok. He expands on his views on North Korea to Klassekampen:

—“My personal support for North Korea is a matter of anti-imperialism. Korea was divided by the USA,” Rashidi says.

The Peace & Justice Party’s youth wing is called Young Anti-Imperialism.

When confronted with claims of North Korea being an oppressive dictatorship without any democracy or freedom of expression, Mulonda Rashidi replies,

—“What you’re talking about, I think, is the liberal values that the USA is trying to push onto other countries. North Korea has different values. It is out of touch with reality to say that they are not democratic. North Korea’s constitution is very democratic. Everyone has the right to work, healthcare, and education.”

Rashidi understands that his views are provocative for many people in Norway.

—“Westerners do not want to call North Korea a democracy, but you have to understand it as a country with a completely different history and culture than the West,” he says.
