@mati
These are all from the Korean war, I haven’t been able to find much made after that.

I have heard about anti-communist campaigns done in South Korea late after the war, but I have yet to find any printed materials (if anyone does know of any, please point me to it).

The most recent propaganda I’ve seen from South Korea actually came out this year. The NIS released a flash game called ‘Spot the Spy’ where you have to click on suspicious looking people (including one guy with a I <3 Kim Jung Il shirt lol). You can see the game here: http://www.nis111.co.kr/main.asp

could you provide years of publication? do you see (government funded) propaganda
even these days?

and i wonder whether there is / has been any debate in SK about the success of anti communist indoctrination.
(there was a remarkable speech by ?? (a woman) at the RAS. she concluded that today’s widespread support for so called left-wing groups is a reaction / result of anti communist campaigns in the 60s and 70s).

The second to last cartoon (“The landowner, the servant, and the cow”) is actually a cartoon of Mao Zedong (servant) on the left, Stalin (landowner) in the middle, and Kim Il-Sung (cow) on the right.
