    The amount of melodrama, exaggeration and straw-manning you managed to squeeze into 52 words is incredible. It's a masterpiece.

    I was thinking the same thing about the many threads with Russian defenders. I'm just waiting for them to start singing the praises of Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin next...

    That's a totalitarian regime, not necessarily communism. Also, saying lefties want a government like NK is as stupid as saying capitalism supporters want a return of low wage and dangerous work conditions of the 1800s.

    @Elim Garak you know those tours are all a facade, correct? They give you the tour through the wealthiest parts of NK and deliberately keep tourists away from the famine and poverty.

    There is literally no way to compare the US to NK in any way, imagine watching that video of NK defectors as if they were talking about escaping life in the US. We are so removed from the realities of true hardship in the US and most other developed countries that it is mind blowing that people find NK to be comparable to the US or even China or Russia.

    The United States has several socialist elements to our social structure, we are not purely capitalist and capitalism is just as exploitative if not more so in different ways. The subprime mortgage crisis is a glaring recent example of the dangers of unchecked capitalism.

    Other examples are child labor in the US which existed up until about a century ago, which still exists abroad (with US companies). http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/...hildlabor.html

    Why do you think South Korea needs to create propaganda about North Korea?

    It's not that they need to, but that they do. If for no other reason then to remind people that they are not the same place.

    Some handy comparisons.

    I'm not sure that they do - it's also possible that they just report what happens, such as the video of the defectors.

    During 1995, the first full year of Kim Jong-il’s reign as the leader of the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea, the country’s frogs disappeared. The explanation for this portent, it turned out, was that desperate villagers had hunted them to near-extinction.

    This German reporter reported that all the song birds were gone too.

    Its the only world they've known. How can you expect different.

    This video in no way paints NK in a positive light. If anything this validates many of our suspicions of what is going on over there. I think the point of the video is show even though these people have left what we would consider hellish conditions they came through it OK and not pitiable people.

    (We are not. The World isn't good and evil, if you think everything in NK/Russia/China/Iran is shit and we have a super nice countries in the west with good people, you are absolutely delusional)

    The healthy attitude to have is to question both sides equally, stop relying on your local/countries media for information about countries 'we' consider enemies or question it and it's sources heavily.
    Would you be okay with living in a country -- or worse, world -- ruled by China, Russia, NK, Syria, Saudi Arabia or Iran, or by their ideals?

    If your answer is no, you are just being a colossal hypocrite.
