North Korea

[Moonglow]

Communists or Democrats?

Their idea is communism is most defunct.

The leaders are elected,
North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is formally a one-party state under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) as the sole governing party.

It's easy to be elected in a communist country when only one (1) candidate is allowed to run and wins 100% of the votes.

Just like in the USSR.

Everything we know about North Korea we know from the world media, which is 3/4 owned by the Americans.

Yes, yes, the same media that told us about the horrors, the Gulag, the Holodomor, the Buch massacre, 2 million raped German women, and here is a photo of a water park in Pyongyang....

wow....a state run water park in the middle of run down city....I remember when it was opened...big event...https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/10/18/north-korea-just-built-the-creepiest-water-park-youve-ever-seen/

Premiere Pak Pong Ju delivered a speech at the ceremony, arguing, in typically North Korean style, that the water park proves that everyone should do whatever Kim Jong Un says at all times. "The water park is the edifice built thanks to Korean Peoples' Army service personnel’s spirit of devotedly carrying out any project and their fighting traits as they are ready to flatten even a high mountain at a go in hearty response to the order of the supreme commander," he said, adding that park employees should "glorify forever Kim Jong Un’s leadership exploits."

You got to love leftist regimes...

North Korea is the cruel communist regime because it is a reflection of Korea's national character. Korea had a similar penal system to the gulag in the colonial era before the Soviet occupation in 1945.

So ̆daemun Prison was designed to accommodate five hundred prisoners, more buildings were added between 1915 and 1929 to meet the growing demand.

It was especially during the nationwide anti-colonial March First
Independence Movement of 1919 that a sudden increase of 3,000
detainees occurred.

The prison continued to be used for many decades to suppress political dissent after 1945 in South Korea.

North Korea is just the ideal Ultraliberal state.

Liberalism is about telling other people what to do, and the leadership in NK is very good at doing exactly that.

Liberalism runs amok in the USA as well. A county clerk was sent to prison and fined $100,000 for failure to participate in a Gay Marriage in Kentucky. People got ordered to buy medical insurance under the risky Obamacare scheme.

Kim Jong Un is cut from the same cloth as B. Hussein O.

"You can gossip, hate, envy and debate me. But we both realize that you will smile sweetly at me when we meet" - North Korea has declared itself a nuclear power.

North Korea has threatened to launch its "most powerful and swiftest first strike" against US strategic facilities deployed on the Korean Peninsula.

"Our most powerful and immediate first strike will be carried out even against major US bases in and around the Korean Peninsula, not to mention the 'extended deterrence' assets used by the US as a 'psychotropic substance' for its satellites," an article published by the CTAC said.

The North Korean agency's comments came in response to the South Korean and US drills, which involved the US aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.

"The continuous transfer of various nuclear strategic assets by the US to the Korean Peninsula, where there is a constant possibility of a military clash, (...) is an open military provocation leading the situation to an irreversible catastrophic situation," Pyongyang said.

The DPRK armed forces "will consistently suppress and repel reckless attempts by the US and its henchmen to launch a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula" and fulfill "the important mission of protecting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and basic interests of the state, ensuring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the region," according to the CTAC.

"The US should realize that its huge strategic assets have entered too dangerous waters," the agency noted.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan arrived at a naval base in South Korea's Busan on Thursday.
"The visit is a key demonstration of extended US deterrence in action and will be an opportunity to strengthen the unified defense posture for an immediate, overwhelming and decisive response to North Korea's continued provocations," Renhap quoted South Korean navy commander Kim Myung-soo as saying.

The Korean Central Telegraphic Agency published photos from the launch of the reconnaissance satellite "Mulligan-1". The material is posted on the agency's website. "The DPRK State General Administration for Aerospace Technology at 22 hours 42 minutes and 28 seconds (16:42:28 Moscow time) on November 21, 112 Juche (2023) successfully launched the Mulligen-1 reconnaissance satellite using a new-type Chollima-1 launch vehicle at the Sohu spaceport in Cholsan County, North Pyongyang Province."

What is interesting is that DPRK, with a population of 25 million, almost half that of Ukraine before the Maidan, supports the Russian Federation with artillery shells and has its own space program, while being under severe economic and political sanctions for half a century. The efficiency of totalitarianism!

So it turns out that the DPRK, an industrialized country that is exploring space and has a nuclear bomb, survives and develops in total isolation? It seems that in the near future to the question: "Do you want to be like North Korea?". - many countries will give a clear answer: "Yes!".

"The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launched by the DPRK on the morning of December 18 can fly on a normal trajectory of more than 15,000 kilometers, which means that it completely "covers" the territory of the United States. This was stated by Japan's Vice Defense Minister Shingo Miyake"

Bloomberg writes that North Korea spends "tens of millions of $ annually" on its nuclear program.
Wow. For such pennies, by capitalist standards, they have produced their own Strategic Missile Forces (reaching America), raised space from scratch (in the process) and are developing hypersonics.
And they overcame hunger while under blockade
