Oh it isn't so... I have had privilege of chatting NorthKorean Hackers, and counterfeiters on Darkweb with the aide of a translator, they are even more sufisticated than Russian and Ukrainian hackers, and their prices are cheap

Now before I started using deepweb, I was of the opinion that NorthKoreans are completely locked out of internet, and they all leave in labour camps

The NorthKorean was also of the impression that Nigeria was an undeveloped rural village with huts , malnourished kids, HIV everywhere

The Kim don't have to leave power, Democracy is not for all, Monarchy and Communism has favoured many countries and western democracy is still throwing many people off

The truth is majority of North Koreans are not fools and they know what they want and what style of Government they prefer hence no nationwide complain , just handful of defectors conniving with the west


.
I just had to join this conversation when you uttered a blunder, I don't care about other aspects but one.

Please do mention one country that has been favoured by communism.

I don't have problems with monarchy, because it is purely a system of government whereas communism is not.
What I mean is a country or state operating on monarchy can still be a capitalist state. While communism on its own, is not just an economic system it doubles as a system of government too.
I don't know why you had to mention both monarchy and communism in the same line as they're not closely related.

Finally, back to my question; please do mention one country that has been favoured by communism.

Thank you

You are very correct at the bolded words.
NK is a presumably useless country, simply because that is what US wants us to believe, but let NK denuclearize and support US, then the tone go change.
.
I have made it a goal never to allow myself be fooled by the propaganda of the West.
Osama bin Laden worked with US(CIA), but when he renounced support, the US labelled him terrorist.
Libya was doing fine during Gaddafi, but after NATO invasion, Libya's became a mess
Russia has being portrayed badly in western media, but the truth is Russia is a fine country, doing well for her self.
.
A principle in psychology called "Social Proof" is what the US love using. They and NATO will portray a sovereign nation as bad and then seek support from other gullible vassal nation and then start unleashing unfounded propaganda against a country, thereby indirectly enriching themselves.
.
OP my direct question to you is: Have you lived in North Korea for you to say all this about North Korea?
Have you also done your own investigation about all the alleged vices perpetrated by the US and her allies?
Abeg OP nor go fall for Western Propaganda ooo!!
Peace Out
Gaddafi's case is a bit different, he did lead mass executions which were aired on TV (if this is a lie ask yourself why he was lynched) but the man transformed Libya throughout his stay haba, Mandela even changed the guy self and at least everything was calm before America put their dirty finger into the matter. The amount of rubbish America has done ehn, just google coups supported by America, you go off.

Thanks for the light you're shedding . Some people will call you Terrorist for being too exposed and seeing the light . I tell people on Niaraland to be wary of Western media propaganda by listening to Balanced news and interact with locals to get first hand information but they rather believe what they hear on CNN or BBC than someone living in that country .

[quote author=Vianna post=94529297]Visiting your family in another village requires a government pass

Visiting your extended family or friends who resides in another location requires a government pass. As if that is not enough , making international calls and prohibited, there is not internet available to the ordinary citizen, no wifi. North Korea also offers only three television channels for people to choose from and all of them are government-controlled.[/quote

I really love the comments I've been reading here. People are being awakened to the MSM propaganda machine about these countries.

That was how they said Saddam Hussein was developing nukes and killing his own people, and till today they have not found a single nuclear weapon in Iraq. Instead it was thousands of books that were found in his vaults, not detonators and whatnots.

Same propaganda with Libya.
Same propaganda with China.

How can a country like NK which has a nuclear weapons program that makes the US military base in Hawaii always be on high alert, not have the ability to feed its own people?

Believe these lies at your own peril... cheesy

China and Russia

.
This clearly shows you lack knowledge of the subject matter.

Mentioning China would have been partly acceptable but Russia? No way.

The last time Russia was a communist state was when they were all USSR(the soviet union) ever since the collapse of the union, Russia seized to be a communist state.

On to China, people erroneously categorize it as a communist state either for political reasons or social reasons. But one of the very basic tenets of a communist state is that private property/business ownership is not allowed, but that is not the case in China. Lots of the Chinese companies you know are privately owned, and that alone is enough. I don't need to go deeper into explaining other aspects.

Communism has rather killed more people throughout history than it has favoured, a quick research into the subject would go a long way in helping you.

Even modern day proponents of communism, have a weird defense for communism, whenever it is mentioned that communism has killed too many people.
And what's the defense you'd ask?

"...true communism has never been practiced by any country"

I know some of what was stated as facts.... and strongly believe the rest is true. While on a course... a batch of North Koreans came and was living with us in the same dormitory. You may hear about people being brainwashed.... but when you come face to face with them.... is hard for you to accept that people can really be brainwashed. They believe there is no God..... they believed their Great leader cannot die... he is like a god to them. If you think Muslims are fanatical when it comes to Prophet Muhammad and the Qur'an..... try North Koreans and their leader. They take every opportunity to talk about their Great Leader.... not country... Great Leader.... and drown you with books referring to his greatness. In discussion... they said they cannot marry before age 28..... their youth must be spent on the country. No sex either. They were about 25 in number... and spied on each other. No one was ever left alone.... no matter how we tried to single out few who started seeing the light. North Koreans are really in the dark.... talking from personal experience.

Your fact and their fact might not tally you serve Yahweh, and Yeshua son of mariahmah the virging, nicknamed Jesus son of Mary by corrupt Romans , yet Koreans never attacked you or forced colonisation, or Thier culture on you

You serve who you want, that's freedom humans should have, and you should practice whatever religion, follow who ever you like Jesus of Kim Jong ung

Honorable mentions

In 2013, Kim Jong Un released a list of haircuts that people in the country are allowed. There are 28 (18 for women, 10 for men) state-approved hairstyles that people can keep.

Tourists visiting the country have to deposit their phones and computers and are allowed to take them back only before returning. Guides accompany tourists who must religiously follow the what guards say.

Falling asleep in a meeting while Kim speaks could fetch a capital punishment. North Korean defence minister Hyon Yong-chol was executed in 2015 with an anti-aircraft gun in front of over 100 people for having fallen asleep during one of Kim Jong Un's events.
