Kim Jong-un is obese, in his mid-30s and has bad personal habits so he's really goons' natural leader if you think about it.

There's thousands of middle-class white college students from well-off families that want to overthrow the government and install communism, goes to show OP, there's crazies everywhere. Oh but wait, this time, they totally promise to do communism right and that there wont be a genocide of wrong-thinkers because they can totally pull it off properly because they heard about Karl Marx and they wear a Che Guevara shirt.

Did you know that the number of people killed by communism in history is way over inflated? It's only like several million people, so, my point being, feel the bern.

Let us English posted:Your songbun is obviously hostile and you will be sent to a labor camp. Well you're the one who brought it up again, but I'm not sure it's a bold claim to say "Montana is big" and that things in this region are pretty spread out, although it's not as bad as Wyoming to my understanding. You still have more space than population, and as such you'd probably also have fairly high transportation costs.

Individual branches of a federalised system can still have autonomy in handling practise and dividing funds, as you'd know if you'd read about how socialised healthcare systems function in other countries. Generally local government and advisory bodies prioritise certain issues and move funding around to a significant degree. They don't have total autonomy, but a) I don't think that is a desirable goal given the politicisation of some necessary medical treatment, especially mental and women's health and b) they certainly have enough autonomy to decide, "oh, we need more gasoline for moving stuff around in our area". It's a fatuous argument that belies a basic ignorance of how a robust socialised public resource works. Yes, there would be lots of paperwork involved, but that's not exactly an insurmountable problem, just hard work.

Android Blues posted:Individual branches of a federalised system can still have autonomy in handling practise and dividing funds You say that like the federal government isn't just as capable or willing to politicize medical treatment. You and Moridin both seem keen to handwave any potential problems as "it'd just take hard work" because I do not think laziness is the core root of problems in other socialized medicines. Thing is, you gotta give people the choice. Trying to insist upon a health system to work for everybody is not really the American way, loathe as I am to use the phrase. Empowering agencies to build their own, sustainable and locally-focused program would result in better efficiency while attaining the exact same goal. And if Texas starts making it lovely for women to get healthcare, and suddenly finds itself in a situation where more Texas women are moving to Utah to take advantage of their more comprehensive systems, then Texas has reason to keep updating their program. See, when you start having the central authority dictating to everybody how to live and keeping them reliant on your teat for sustenance, you create the sort of unhealthy situation like what exists in North Korea.

i actually want to have this discussion but it's mean to have it in the north korea thread the story about dogs being raised like cattle and then skinned and slaughtered and the fur sent off to the government for soldiers to use in coats was wild. like, they have mandatory government dog farming and a dog fur industry. that is an amazing and terrifying fact

Psycho Society posted:I wonder what kind of dogs they are. I was just thinking the same thing. it's gotta be something with a thick coat, right? what really got me was that the government is expecting the dog fur and if you don't send it off, like if you don't regularly raise a dog to slaughter, you get In Trouble. it's literally like some kind of dog fur tithing system and that's insane

The far sadder factoid I took from it is that the people of South Korea apparently stigmatize the people of the North. Not the government or the ideology of the North, but the actual people themselves. Comparatively speaking it's probably like paradise, but I guess even paradise has its vipers.

You'd think something like goats would be easier to raise, since dogs pretty much just eat human food scraps and those would be hard to give up when you're courting malnutrition already.

like if you place any given comfortable people next to any given unhappy and poverty stricken people, social prejudice always 100% of the time springs up, whether it's american anxiety about mexican immigrants or frothing hatred for the homeless or prejudice against travellers

it's crazy how some people can get basic left wing ideas like "socialised public services are good, unchecked capitalism is destructive, invading other countries is bad" and just polarise themselves to the insane degree that they think north korea is cool because it doesn't allow free trade
