Voice of the Proletariat was established in 2025 (originally under the name A Little Bit of Everything) as an avenue to provide analysis and commentary on current events, international relations (IR), geopolitics, and industry studies through a perspective that prioritizes Eastern and Global South views over the dominant Western narratives. Given the coverage of political content, this publication is intended for audiences 16 and up.

Voice of the Proletariat aims to disseminate Marxist thought among the masses, showing the correctness and successes of socialist governance while disproving ideas such as “trickle-down” capitalist economics and Western bourgeois “democracy.” As Chairman Mao once said, “We cannot force people to accept Marxism; we can only persuade them.”

Voice of the Proletariat aims to publish at least three times a week—typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with occasional posts on Tuesday and Thursday. In addition, a new Monthly Reads entry is published the 1st of each month regardless of the day of the week.

Voice of the Proletariat is written and solely operated by Park Jee-hoon (박지훈), an ethnic Korean who was adopted and raised by HKSAR Chinese parents in Canada.

On June 21, 2026, Voice of the Proletariat was ranked #98 Rising in World Politics.

Funding

Voice of the Proletariat is a wholly independent publication with no ties to or funding from any state body or organization. Any funding received, whether through donations or paid subscriptions, originates solely from supportive readers. All thoughts expressed in this publication are entirely my own and do not represent those of any affiliated organizations, companies, or institutions.

Credibility

As there is always more to read and more thought to be had, I do not believe any writer can be “100% an expert” on any topic. Further, lived experiences often shape worldviews, so there is no way to learn or understand any matter in complete neutrality.

However, I have extensively studied the popular music industry and political science at an institutional level, often focusing on K-Pop studies, geopolitics, and international relations (IR). As well, I have studied psychology in the past and retain a deep-rooted interest in philosophy, world history, and theology.

Voice of the Proletariat uses an evidence-first form of analysis; in other words, articles typically begin with context and quotes by established sources, followed by an analytical breakdown of the given content.

Sourcing and editorial standards

Voice of the Proletariat utilizes a mix of Western, Eastern, and Global South news reports, with a focus on Eastern and Global South views to lift potentially suppressed voices, since Western media is the most commonly seen and cited in English-language media.

Opposing views are certainly considered (and readers are welcome to comment under any article), as will its context—a corporate-owned news outlet with a clear stake in the topic being discussed, for instance, will be considered with that in mind.

Voice of the Proletariat prefers primary sources (including state-run media and press releases), documents, and public records over biased secondary reporting. Occasionally, firsthand perspectives from independent, on-the-ground journalists are incorporated; if these reports originate on social media, the journalist’s credentials and/or a named source must also be easily accessible.

Small edits (e.g., spelling or grammatical corrections) made to articles post-publication will not be noted, while an author’s note will be added if substantial changes are made.

AI Policy

The use of generative AI (genAI) and large language models (LLMs) for writing, research, and image generation is strongly opposed by Voice of the Proletariat. At most, genAI may be used to clarify translations.

Collaborations

We are always open to interviewees and guest writers. Please see our Collaborations page for more information.

What is your position on post-Soviet Russia?

While Russia is no longer socialist as its predecessor, the USSR, was, I fully support Russia’s foreign policy and role in global politics, especially in its criticism of Western imperialism and push for Palestinian sovereignty, self-governance, and self-determination. For a more detailed analysis of Russia, please see this article.

What is your position on the “Israel-Palestine conflict”?

I do not recognize the so-called “State of Israel” formed in 1948. This is a Zionist project—one that is settler-colonial, imperialist, and racist—that instrumentalizes Judaism and Christianity to justify genocide, ethnic cleansing, and land dispossession in the State of Palestine.

What is your position on armed resistance?

I am in full support of the right to self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule, including the right to armed struggle, as enshrined by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Additionally, I align with Chairman Mao Tse-tung’s classification of just and unjust wars in his “On Protracted War” (1938).

Do you view China as communist? What are your thoughts on the Maoist/Dengist divide?

I believe that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is in their primary stage of building socialism. As both Chairmen Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping have contributed greatly to the concept of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, both should therefore be considered.

Further, I commend current Chairman Xi Jinping on his good efforts toward the well-being of the masses and the advancement of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

What is your position on the Taiwan question?

Since ancient times, mainland China and Taiwan have been part of one China, and Taiwan remains an inalienable part of China’s territory. Upon the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, the PRC became the sole government representing all of China, including Taiwan. This is the basis of the one-China principle.

Further, I strongly oppose the actions of the so-called “Taiwan independence” separatist forces as well as their supporters, who routinely undertake actions to violate China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. For more on this, please see this article.

As an ethnic Korean, what is your position on Korea?

I believe that Imperialist America should cease their interference in matters that do not concern them, including but certainly not limited to their meddling in internal Korean affairs.

I know of many Koreans living in the south who have begun to question the hostility toward our northern brethren and greatly commend them for their willingness to break free from the ideology America has placed on the Korean people.
