Fair use rationale for Image:Kdlp.gif

Image:Kdlp.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Question

The article says that that party was left-wing nationalist then again it says the party was affiliated with Socialist International. But the two orientations are different-the former is similar to the ideologies of Sandinista, Kim Jong Il or Slobodan Milosevic while the latter is related to western socialists. What is correct? The party members were of NL fraction, not of PD. Almost all of the old Korean leftists are NL, that is,pro-North. Thus different than the current leftist minority in Korea which is more similar in orientation to Western social democrats.

Answer

Why do you think two different tendencies can't belong in one party? In many countries, lots of leftist parties has different factions in the party. In the case of South Korea, DLP was originally formed by PD faction and later NL faction was joined in the party. after the dissolution of the DLP, PD faction is now in the Justice Party and Labor Party, and NL faction is now in the Progressive Party. The root of these parties is same, from DLP. 125.142.0.116 (talk) 07:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
