Anyway the DPRK is evil for locking up capitalist compradors who wanna sell out the country to the highest bidder, right?
A comprador is like a traitor? And North Korea only jails traitors (and usual criminals)? Are people otherwise allowed to criticize the government?
I read about the bombing of North Korea during the Korean war. That's horrible. 20% of all people died.
Also their decision to make nukes is something I fully support. During the US bombing of Iran I saw people pointing out that this is why my country has nukes. So I understand the logic. But it is a horrible way to think.
Isn't the poverty in Cuba because the US won't let other countries trade with Cuba? And they have still done a lot of great things, like in medicine and disaster management.
Oh wait, does North Korea have a parliamentary system? In that case I can understand keeping someone from the Kim family as a ceremonial President. Wikipedia says they have a Premier, who is the Head of Government. Is that like their Prime Minister?
I agree. Even a 'bad' rule by local people is better than a 'benevolent' rule by a foreign country. But shouldn't a leftwing government act more in the interest of its people, particularly the poor?
The leader of North Korea is the son of the previous leader. And the people are very poor. Overall they are behaving more like a kingdom than a democratic country.
I live in a 'neutral' country. I think our government actually has okay relations with North Korea.
