Yeah, let’s compare one country that suffered one of the most extensive destructions in human history, killing one in five people and leveling virtually all structures with a country that received infinite propping up from the global hegemon.
Both countries started at similar places in the 1950s, but picked different economic management systems right?
I guess we could sling mud can about how bad either country or its allies are, but the two countries have hugely different statistics indicating quality of life
How would the countries start at the same place when USAmerica carpet bombed and even allegedly used Unit 731 biological weapons against NK? And all the sanctions too.
More than the economical system, those aspects of not being bombed and sanctioned would be more influential on the growth of a country.
Also, if you are USAmerican, did you know of that news that I shared? If not, why? What would you think would be the reason?
What good are sanctions from a country across a distant ocean when you share a land border and roads with your biggest trading partner and a global hegemon.
I’m sure those NK Migs took only photos and left only memories on their flyovers during the war. Definitely no bombs
What good are sanctions from a country across a distant ocean
I don’t know probably the 800 global military bases around the world, multiple client states and a sanction regime pushed through the UN amounting to an effective medieval style siege of the country.
global hegemon.
I don’t think you know what this means.
I’m sure those NK Migs took only photos and left only memories on their flyovers during the war. Definitely no bombs
Definitely equivalent to the global military superpower waging a campaign of extermination that destroyed all of the farmland, and structures killing between 1 in 5 and 1 in 4 of the population and leaving the rest living in caves. You are very smart.
I dunno, maybe it would be better to compare North and South Korea

South Korean dictatorship under the US Military govt ruling over them and massacring people?
Historically South Korea has been more oppressive than North, right?
They only got decent voting in the late 80’s or so.
And North Korea was carpet bombed by USAmerica, attacked using biological weapons from Unit 731, subjected to brutal sanctions and routine threats.
Like, did you know about this?

I was not aware that South Korea was completely destroyed and a fifth of its population exterminated
Maybe you should stop reading theory and start on some history
Yeah? Which history book taught you that South Korea was completely destroyed and a fifth of its population exterminated?

Ok, let’s compare:

Cool, now do life expectancy
Rises sharply with communism. Sinks when communism is replaced with capitalism.
Communists win again.
What now? Wanna compare home ownership rate? Government approval rate? Number of wars mongered?
