8; The North Korean diet includes tree bark and grass
Food shortages in North Korea are so severe, the people occasionally have to resort to desperate measures simply in order to survive. One popular way of making it through the year is to introduce ‘wild foods’ to the diet. Wild foods are just as they sound: if getting hold of store-bought goods isn’t an option, there are foods that North Koreans can simply pick up naturally. Such things as wild grass and poisonous mushrooms and plants have been known to make already-starving North Koreans seriously ill.

Oh my God!

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

China

China is a Communist state and one of the most economically and technologically advanced countries in the world. Whenever US and China sneeze, the world catches cold. China is poised to topple US as the world's dominant power, reason why we have this unending diplomatic skirmishes between the two countries.

So, what now would you say? Perhaps you'd shift your goal to "mention one country BESIDES CHINA".

Poverty is so severe in this country some women often offer sex in exchange for a few grains of rice.

Not disputing some of your facts

But

I think the main reason US won't take over Iran in the middle East and North Korea in the Korean Peninsula, or even broker a meaningful peace deal is , US benefit greatly from all this conflicts as it cost some of this panicking Countries Billions to secure access to US Defense either through weapons or continuous running of various US base accross the regions

Seoul coughs out between $1bn to $5bn for just a single US anti Missile Defense system just to feel secured from Kim,

UAE, Saudi, Bahrain, Oman and many Gulf countries fork out billions in cash to run US base and get weapons while Isrealis give research and some technology all to keep them safe from their enemies



.

And US is the enemy to all of them ... He help them create problem, help them fuel it by supporting one against the other , Then Started selling weapons both ways profiting both way.

Capitalism is cannibalism!!

So the only good thing in north korea is nuclear weapons. Still better than some place in west africa

If you post this comment about North Korea, you can be lawfully killed.

NobleAngell:
I know this is coming late but Happy Independence Nigeria. I'm sorry for not valuing what we have here. At least this frying pan is better than fire (North Korea).

If we no complain, the leaders will make it worst

Vianna:
If you commit a crime, your entire family goes to jail
When it comes to punishing citizens for misbehaviour, North Korea is about as hardline as countries get. Take the case of Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong-un’s uncle, whom the Supreme Leader had executed in 2013. As part of a government purge by Kim, Uncle Jang was reportedly stripped and fed literally to the dogs.
For ordinary citizens, things aren’t much easier. If someone commits a crime, for example, they might not be the only ones who go to prison.
In North Korea, an apparent ‘three generations rule’ means that, if one person is jailed, their entire family might be too.

Get your fact right. The uncle that was rumored to have been executed has since been seen in public

Vianna:
4. You’re only allowed to date someone if you plan on marrying them
Many things that we take for granted in the West, North Koreans are not allowed to do. This includes things like public displays of affection (including hugging and kissing, even for marries couples,) getting tattoos and having piercings.
North Korean men expect their brides to be chaste and to have been in no previous marriages. They must also be without child.
In the DPRK, if a woman gets divorced then it is always her fault and as such, she has very little chance of ever finding another husband. Domestic violence is not frowned upon and many men who abuse their wives will be supported by the government.
Again, Kim Jong-un gets a free pass to do what he likes with women. Female defectors from the country have described how school girls are pulled out of high school and taught how to become sex slaves and pleasure the notorious leader.

Honestly this smirk of lies...the type that was said against Gadhaffi. Authoritarians no doubt exhibit excesses, but they are also afraid

Vianna:
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.

Oh please...this person has since been seen in public. North Korea is far from perfect, bit we should be wary of how the west that you are obviously toying with your piece tries to paint people that are not in their circle of friends

I wish it was, but no

NK is an absolute dictatorship. Ruled for the beneft of the Kims and the Kims alone.

West actually engage in propaganda against people they don't like. Many of those things in that piece aren't accurate.
Many rumoured executions have since been seen to be inaccurate

Confirmed propaganda. If u commit a crime, you carry your cross alone. There's nothing like sex for rice. Too many propaganda about the country from the western media.

solmus:
My brother all this things are European and American propaganda... NorthKoreans have access to internet routed through Chinese servers, it's simply western propaganda that paint others weird

Typical US media or mainstream media give you the illusion that Iran is under very strict sanction and though regime ... But there are several Business to Business Transaction conduct accross many platform under US nose and Iran is doing quite fine... A picture attached is that of an Iranian B2B group one of the countless ones they conduct International trade with

you can't be a hacker, nuclear scientist , Missile lunching weapon maker and not have far better education and standard of living US portrays , they even went low to call them grass and tree bark eater

I agree with u. NK has restrictions. But it is not as bad as US and European media wants us to think

All na Western media propaganda
I know north Korea is nowhere as bad as the op or western media make it seem

solmus:
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

Solums , you're intelligent. I have a question I've always wanted to ask u.

Why does US like oppressing countries with Nuclear weapons wheres they have numerous of these weapons at their disposal.

Ate they stylishly trying to gain nuclear war upper hand ?

Before you believe all this lies and exaggeration do you own research. A little trip to YouTube will help.

Imagine op saying that visitors must deposit their phone, while some YouTubers have filmed and is still filming their North Korean travel vlog.

That was how I used to believe all the lies about Iran until one of the most ,if not the most popular food YouTuber - Sunnyside travel and film his Iran food tour. He made over 10 video on Iran alone.

I wonder y number 4 has so many likes?

US is not opressing anyone honestly (lol I know bro)

It's just survival, they make war weapory to sell for money, their control of Crude oil price is a major economic and powerful tool, every country that fell too us lost massive resources


As Buhari felt so big of himself first person he seemed was US and Trump's America with $350m USD super tucerno deal, same way Saudi seeked 1billion USD Arms trade

KingAzubuike:
They might not be propaganda. There are alot of documentaries I watched on natgeo about NK. Undercover agents with the aid of secret cams. Some of those things are real. And below is a quote from quora



North Korea is a very isolated nation, and deliberately so - I hope you will agree with me on that much? It is therefore nearly impossible to know anything in detail. Most of what we do know comes from defectors - people from North Korea who escaped. There are many books and documentaries about their experiences if you want to know about life in North Korea.

Needless to say, you will need to work very hard to disprove their accounts.

We also have things like satellite imagery, DPRK state broadcasts, and a handful of people who risk much to smuggle technology into the country who can report on what people tell them. The rest is a process of fitting the pieces together and making deductions.

As for why there might be lies and propaganda: I really can’t think of a reason. North Korea just isn’t that important.

Cc solmus hustla

oga forget Quora joor.
And........

How dare u claim that a nation with nuclear armaments (who also does not stoop to lick the arse of US and the EU) is not important enough to the US to start a massive propaganda against? How then will US gather the international support and also build sufficient alliance against such nation? Do u realise the possible threat such a nation poses to US coveted status as the bully of the world?

I think u know very little about international politics and strategy

yaki84:
Bro NK is bad, any country that is secretive and does not allow foreign media houses to capture it is evil. Let's say BBC and CNN are western media, how about Al Jazeera is it western too?
When Kim was ill, nobody knew what happened, it was all speculation till he surface again.

Funny to mention All Jazeera, a Qatari media as different from CNN and her likes. Qatar is one of the United State's ever willing stooges

the gospel truth ooooo. US is the real enemy of the world. They profit from the conflicts hence they subtly sustain it while pretending to be trying to resolve the conflicts. They only make serious effort to resolve the conflicts when it hits too close to home or directly impacts on their overseas economic or strategic interests

u get it right. NK has higher literacy rate than US. Their technology is excellent. That's why I avoid reading some opinions here because they're mostly hear-say and full of rumours and propaganda.
