North Korea

Just because it's made by a prestegious guy doesn't mean it's not propaganda. Technically, Joe McCarthy was a prestegious guy.

How could I be a non-communist if NK is not a communist state?

Quote:

Unsurprising.

Well thats what I call an articulate argument. Why should it be unsurprising.
About the cell phones - true 20 000 people HAD phones untill the autorities collected them. For your informations the GSM-s in NK are distributed by plan from the state postal services. And now, they have collected them.
Something else - im my capitalistic 8 million people country more than 4 million have cell phones... comrade.

sorry mate, but even i can pick up a glitch there.

why is north korea using microsoft windows on that last screenshot?

Andrew

but i thought everything was publically owned, so therefore i thought they would of also made operating systems for their computers.

and out of all, microsoft has to be the pro-capitalist of all software companies so why them?

Andrew

Mozilla Firefox and Linux!

Go ahead, deny it as much as you want. Windows is easy to use. Plus, it costs lots to make your own operating system. Most people (in the USA at least) don't use Linux or Unix as their primary OS.

If we accept that Windows is best, then we DON'T accept that capitalism is the best way. If Windows were made in a communist society, capitalists in other countries would be welcome to use it, and not get blamed to begin communist.

I have seen myself on a photo when I play with my computer.

I did not read the previous posts, but I'd like to ask some questions to MLM.


1) If NK is so great why do people want to escape from their own country?

2) As I understand, NK is a real worker paradize, but why isn't the population of a simple little village allowed to speak to the press? I mean most of those people are farmers, there is nothing sercret they could tell the press.

3) I believe that NK is in a deep crisis. My evidence is the following: Some years ago, there were many heavy stuff on military parades... (tanks, artillery, apc's aso....) but during the last parades I did not see any tank. Why is that so? No oil for fuel? Or not money for fuel?

Back when my father visited North Korea he saw that there was total abject poverty. He also saw Kim in person. I have no doubts that it is better now.

My opinion of the DPRK is that they are ruled by a madman with deteriorationg sanity, nothing like the greatness of his father.

It needs to be taken over and made into a true Communist nation.

I was watching CBC and it had a special show on NK which had a inquiry about the standard of life there and almost every one said it wasnt as bad as the world thought it was. This test was conducted in every region of NK and I wonder if they are being loyal to Kim Jong Il?

You must notice how this test was proceeded in NK.

I think the essence of DPRK is a feudal empire in modern world. Unfortunately it's a forgotton and abandoned corner in the world, though the common people live there are still respectable.

The pictures above just indicate the essential economic reason for the poverty of DPRK. It blindly pursue some individual advanced instruments for showing. It always doesn't utilize its own advanced resources such as cheap labor.
A detailed analysis on such a wrong economic policy is in the book:
“THE CHINESE MIRACLE: DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND ECONOMIC REFORM” written by Lin Yi-Fu.
