Irredentism is not necessarily imperialism

Korean irredentism is anti-imperialism

• The unification of South and North Korea also belongs to "Irredentism" in an academic sense. Korea was unfairly divided by the great powers.
• Liberal and left-wing nationalists in South Korea claim that Jiandao is their territory. This area was originally Korean territory, but it was forcibly taken by the Japanese imperialists for geopolitical reasons and turned into Chinese territory. See Gando Convention.

Irish irredentism is anti-imperialism. (See Northern Ireland)

Please let's not judge everything by the standards of imperialist powers like the United States, Germany, France, China and Japan. Umaru16 (talk) 06:39, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop pushing your nationalist perspective on everything. The thing with irredentists is that they don't particularly care about the feelings of the people they want to annex.. Plutocow (talk) 06:43, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

That's because you live in a country like the United States or the United Kingdom where you have experience of imperialism. Jiandao would also have been ruled by Korea without Japanese imperialism and Chinese imperialism. Currently, as many as 80 percent of ethnic Koreans live in Jiandao. Until Britain took over and colonized Ireland, Northern Ireland was clearly an Irish territory. The left-wing nationalists in Ireland/Korea are by no means imperialists.

Above all, South and North Korean 'unification' has nothing to do with imperialism. Rather, the division of Korea is related to imperialism. Korea's reunification is both explicit irredentism and anti-imperialism. This is a left-wing view, but also a general academic view. Umaru16 (talk) 06:53, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
