Talk:Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea

Untitled
This article was totally incorrect, with no basis in fact, as the source given, the US State Department website here: http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2004/41646.htm, makes absolutely no mention of the "Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland", the US state department's website has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the article. What the article describes the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Father Land as being, some kindof parliamentary coalition between three parties, has nothing to do with what it is in reality, i've redone the article with new sources that are actually relevant to it.

United Front or Popular Front?
A united front is when parties enter into a coalition while having a similar ideology. (E.g. Trotskyists and Marxist-Leninists allying against Fascism or something) A popular front is when parties enter into a coalition with differing views. (E.g. A Eurocommunist party, a social-democratic party, and a conservative party)

So what would this be? I've heard differing views, although I'd say it's a united front. --Mrdie (talk) 22:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Given how it's mostly controlled by the Communists, I'd say it's a united front. --48Lugur (talk) 15:48, 1 November 2010

Mother, Father?
Could a Korean person explain why they vote for the "fatherland", but sing about the "motherland"? No Motherland Without You. 141.151.2.144 (talk) 00:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt that there are many North Koreans who have access to the internet, much less wikipedia. 222.216.177.213 (talk) 06:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want a more detailed answer on the linguistic roots of the name, i'd suggest posting a query at WP:RDL. I don't have detailed answer on the word itself, but 'fatherland' is the term used by NK sources. google search. --Soman (talk) 07:14, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

The reason why they use "fatherland" and "motherland" interchangeably is because they are the same word in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese.祖国 literally means "ancestral country", and it can be translated to either "fatherland" or "motherland". Apparently, "motherland" is popular for Chinese translations, whereas "fatherland" is used in Vietnam and North Korea. 67.80.149.198 (talk) 14:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Chongryon and AINDF
IPs and  added these entries. They need sources that directly say that they are DFRK members, which the sources currently cited do not say. I've tried to find sources for what organizations exactly are members of the DFRK, but I've not come accross sources that say that about Chongryon and AINDF. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:22, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
