북한의 ‘반역자’ 만들기

Abstract

The System of North Korea was created in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period of forming the system, the revolutionary change called socialist reform was overwhelming, but there were counter-revolutionary actions as well. This action was defined as counter-revolution and treason. The specific details are as follows. First, North Korea's traitor was created in the 1950s, the formative period of the North Korean system. During this period, a revolutionary change called socialist reform was being promoted in North Korea. Those who opposed this revolutionary change became traitors. Second, North Korea's traitors were created in the process of expanding and intensifying the political conflict that occurred at the center of power. The socialist reform contributed to the expansion and escalation of the power conflict into a treasonable incident at the entire social level. Third, in the process of creating North Korean traitors, friction arose between the Korean Workers' Party and judicial institutions. This friction started from the issue of the independence of the judiciary, that is, how to establish the relationship between the party and judicial institutions, and continued to the debate about how to apply the law to people and actions opposing the revolution, and the nature of the North Korean regime. Finally, the creating traitors in North Korea, which began with the August Plenum Incident; went beyond human purges. It resulted in forming concept about treason in North Korean society. The law and history section was mobilized to form the concept and worked poignantly to make it.
