[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]So left-wing they stand on the right
Published: 28 May. 2003, 22:42
I read with amusement the description of Hanchongryun as a “progressive,” left-wing organization.
In what way are they progressive? By inciting fans to attack Americans if Korea were to lose a soccer game?
Left wing? What social policy is on their agenda?
The so called “left wing” tag only comes from their ignorant, “admire from a distance” support of North Korea and the extreme nationalistic, anti-American stance of that gangster country.
No, these so called “leftist progressives” seem to have much more in common with extreme, far-right groups in the United States and Europe that espouse racism, hatred and intolerance.
Let’s start calling a spade a spade and start calling these jokers what they really are.
