  8. Too bad society will just crumble.

  20. North Korea is far from industrialized. <give free homes, food, education, and healthcare to the biggest part of its population,> Yet no economy or progress to put any of them to good use in making them a pointless waste.

  21. Also genocide.

  22. Better to be Japan than North Korea, a communist hellhole that even fellow communist hellhole China doesn't like but supports if only to keep the West via South Korea at bay.

  23. <which the workers own their workplaces and share resources based on need"> Which they can already do in capitalism if they had the foresight to save their money and start their own business instead of thinking they're entitled to the means of production bought by the business-owner.

  27. They were and are socialist/communist IN PRACTICE. Talk is cheap.

  29. By that logic, Equatorial Guinea should be the richest country in Africa since it does have the highest GDP per capita in the continent thanks to oil among other natural resources. Yet 75% of its population are poor and the ruling Nguema family controls all the wealth making it a functional kleptocracy.

  32.  @Osterochse  And irrelevant.

  33.  @tekinet7958  Doesn't matter as even the communist/socialist countries that didn't support Stalin produced the very same results of famine, repression and backwardness. Remember Albania.

  46. No. There's a trade blockade, because they rather threaten South Korea and Japan while leeching off of China because their model is too inadequate and inefficient to feed itself than develop an economy that lives up to its Juche name. North Korean leadership is the reason why North Korea is starving, not some capitalists.

  47. Not nearly as much as (leftist) governments.
    1
  48.  @socalpumpballer  More or less.
