    What about those who don’t think it’s a one man dictatorship, but rather hyperfocuses on war instead of relieving people’s lives? And that everyone is broke and miserable?

      Ask them what happened to Libya, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iran, Argentina, Chile, Angola, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and so many more countries, when they disarmed and trusted the Unites States.

      Or how about the question of how is a country supposed to economically branch out when it was bombed back into the Stone Age, it’s population massacred in a genocide, and it is now forcefully isolated on the world stage by threat is US attack against anyone that violate the sanctions?

      Also the military is becoming less of a focus for the DPRK as the years go by and increasing budget amounts are going towards the civilian sector. The DPRK could have easily continued the Arduous March program to modernize their military and focus on military technology, but they instead chose to pull resources away from the military to fix the citizen ration program to ensure a 1850 calories a day minimum instead of the old 900 calorie minimum. Or how several plans for airfields, submarine pens, and dockyard facilities have been scrapped in favor of apartment buildings, hospitals, and farmland. Not to mention that with the Arduous March program, the military was supposed to remain the main employer in the DPRK, but they have instead expanded heavy civil projects such as office buildings/services, warehousing, transport companies, and various other civil employment for people to choose from.

      yeah its really fuckin hard talking to libs about korea. people just cant shake off the propaganda that its some backwards country where reason doesn’t exist and there’s brutal state repression. all while never criticising their own country that a lot of the time is actively oppressing them. its very frustrating.
