[visibleghost]

North Korea, ppl there are very poor and they dream to escape to South Korea

IIRC people don't get to just visit N. Korea. I recall seeing either a documentary or a news article of someone who did manage to go in and they reported on false store fronts that give the illusion of a happy and well funded community. If you send me a pm to remind me I'll try to find that article or video and link it here tomorrow morning before I go to work.

Its prison, imagine what would happen if it wasn't.

 

[Stepheroo]

Is anyone else here on the sidelines just watching the whole debate, or is it just me?

I'm doing this too and judging the misinformed and ignorant people who honest to God don't know what communism is. I would find it funny, but the more info they let go in one ear and out the other hurts my heart.

Is this the one you mean?

It's crazy strict. No publishings of any kind, not even guide books. Laptops are searched for copies of The Interview and pornography, which is banned. No mobile phones, navigators, GPS, ect. It's crazy.

Actually several people do, its the right wings who have posted on this thread who seem to be ignorant and appear to be here to antagonize Communism which is understandable considering its far left wing and they don't like Communist ideology.

 

[forestyne]

Actually several people do.

But communism ≠ extreme dictatorship.

 

[moonford]

But communism ≠ extreme dictatorship.

I haven't said it does, Communist leaders have often been immense dictators though so I understand why people oppose it, its due to ignorance and band wagoning.

 

[Haskell]

Yes and a lot of leaders from the west are too.

Yea. The Prime Minister of Canada is a bit selfish, moronic, and reckless. Bad leader.

From mass opinion, N. Korea is communist. It probably is.

It's hard to know what North Korea really is since it's so isolated.

 

[Corrie]

I feel like North Korea is very sketchy in the sense that the government lies to their citizens. I would hate to live in a place like that. I feel bad for the people trapped there. :C
Yeah, there is no good reason to visit there.

Opinions > Facts....We don't know enough about NK to call it a Communist country (it could be, I'm not sure) because like you said its isolated and extremely private.

Yes. Opinions > Facts

It's also a threat.

That's so sad.
I wish the country could get a new leader. Maybe they'd be better off?

 

[moonford]

Do you not know what that means? ( ????? > ?????)
I was being sarcastic.

I'm saying that peoples opinions don't really matter if we barely know anything about the country, I'm not saying it's not Communist and I'm not saying it is because I'm not sure. Its too private and can be a threat if they decide to attack a country because once again...we know barely anything.

They're better off dead.

The citizens are brainwashed too much. "Giving" them a new leader would be impossible.
The government is a catastrophe. Replacing one person won't do anything.

N. Korea poses a thread to the rest of the world.

I thought you meant we're speaking opinions and nothing we're saying is substantiated because there are practically no facts available.

That is what I meant, you said its probably Communist because it was the majority of the vote here but those are opinions and opinions don't matter. Opinions > Facts means opinions are greater than facts but I was being sarcastic and...why am I explaining this, bleh!

You understand so what am I doing, or do you?
