Very.

It's unbelievable how much NK is cut off from the rest of the world.

American?
That can't be called communism.
It's exactly the same problem that sovjet had, dictatorship.

The Ideal communism against the real one, with people involved.
Human beings have a way of thinking of themselves alone.

Actually there wasn't any kind of dictatorship since Stalin's death :) Today's U.S. looks more similar to Stalin's empire than 196x-197x USSR :D

Ok no one argues that NK isn't f*cked up, but IMO that story/pictorial is just horrible. I mean that it's comparing things to western way, which is definately not the best (or even close). So what if the city is dark at night? I prefer it that way.
"Oil is almost inexistant, so most of the labor is manual." - that's the way in a lot of places in the world.

This is just my opinion, but i can't stand it when people point out the differences and make it entertainment. People can go like "wow that's f*cked up!, thank god i live america/europe/wherever".

Dictatorship is bad but come on, even without it NK would have a different way of life...

And that's all just to the north of where I am. Those are really good, interesting pictures. The closest I've been to seeing North Korea was when I went to the borders which was fenced.

considering you were born in '89, you wouldn't be, regardless of the fact that north korea(OR DPRK - democratic peoples republic of korea as they call themselves, somehow...) adheres to stalinist ideals, what the soviet union was, while referred to by all sides as communist, was merely a state run dictatorship, which actually has little to do with the actual idea of communism as put forth by karl marx in the communist manifesto

Of course, karl marx miserably failed to put humans into his logic

Yeah your right,but all the people around me (etc older) have talked about it alot;),they say it was a very stupid time,you couldnt get anything good from shops that time and the ussr made some stupid economical choices(they produced things that people didnt actually need)

anyway like someone said once its a good idea but it wont work
