You need to consider the global picture. China wouldn’t allow the destruction of North Korea and an ally of the US right on its border. And, despite what you might think, South Korea doesn’t have enough power ( I mean by itself) to ensure its victory. And you also need to understand all the rhetoric behind the regime which I perfectly understand since I come from the only other country in the world which is also officially called "Democratic and Popular" until today. Basically since your childhood you’re taught that the enemy of the nation is at the gates and can invade at anytime and so the Nation needs to be ready and prepared for war. That’s why everything goes into heavy industry and the army (+ all the rhetoric about the heroic revolutionary army, guardian of the borders and defender of the Nation). And in the case of North Korea it must be particularly effective since the West already went at war against them and obviously some shady things were done(+the two nuclear bombs used by the US who are the only country to have ever used it which justifies the nuclear program by itself). So even if they understand, most people would still stand for the country. Without even talking about the Intelligence services and the whole penitentiary system which add fear on top of that.

@@jacoblee8989 It's not really fair to compare East Germany to North Korea though. Sure it was lagging behind the western part, but the difference was nowhere near as big as that of the two Koreas. If the south and the north unite, the former would basically need to build everything from scratch for the latter while feeding their entire population. The economy might as well just implode. And then there're also cultural differences that are much more severe in this case. Afaik the nations drifted so far apart they can barely understand each other language wise at this point. Essentially they are two different cultures that just happen to have a common ancestor.
@andrew_li
@andrew_li 3 года назад
@@CARILYNF Yep that's correct. So many people have the impression that there's such a big language gap. But that's not the case, at least to me. I can read North Korean signs or slogans and fully understand them. Or I can listen to a native North Korean speaker and fully understand 80% of what they're saying with ease. The main differences is in vocabulary and intonation in accents. It's mostly regarding modern words - the fact that South Korean has integrated a lot of English loan words into its language while North Korean hasn't. In terms of pronunciation, I'd say they're even closer than how American/UK English are spoken. For example there's a huge difference in how vowel sounds are pronounced in UK and American English. The 2 Koreans don't have that problem. The only reason why there's no problem in communication between the two English accents is because there's so much British and American English in media that everyone's used to hearing each other's accents. It's so sad how close, yet so far apart they are.

Lenin called communism "socialism with money" I guess you're right about the gulag, slavery is not an economically beneficient system, in part due to all the control that must be exerted over "the traitors to the revolution" Stalin had them dig rail roads that cost vast amounts of lives but were hardly used since. The Gulag was a combination of opportunistic self-funding and punishment to strike fear in the population's heats. How dare he! He owes the job to the people, without whom, there would be no nation state. Instead of serving them, he dominated them.

Countries don’t simply exist in a vacuum and they certainly don’t all start out in the same conditions. Fidel Castro said (approximately): people are quick to point out failed socialist states, but where are the successes of capitalism in Asia, Africa and Latin America? Compare the living standards in Cuba to those in Colombia. Night and day difference. In fact, Cuba outperforms even the USA in terms of food insecurity rate, infant mortality, life expectancy, homelessness (there are no homeless at all in Cuba), literacy rate, I could go on. And consider that the island has been under internationally condemned US sanctions since 1961. It essentially cannot import any goods. People there are stuck with cars from the 60’s, yet they enjoy higher living standards and social safety than the richest country on earth.

The issue is lack of foreign investment, IE banks aren't interested in investing, and they're unable to benefit from foriegn automation which is continually undercutting their more labour based economy in foreign markets. Let's not forget the economic funding and investment the LARGEST economy of the world at the time was willing to put into South Korea, meaning the US created an economic hegemony that was difficult to compete with as a next door neighbour.

To be fair it’s a common mistake since people keep spreading aground that graph of discretionary spending (not all spending just a part of it) that makes it look like the spending is more then it is. Defence spending is 54% of discretionary spending, which seems to me to be a weird way of of breaking up spending since mandatory spending isn’t spending that the Congress can’t control but whatever.

Cuba has been through a similar experience since 1959. It was largely kept afloat after cutting economic ties with the USA by the USSR, which was pleased to have a commie ally right next to the United States. Eventually the USSR got tired of pampering Cuba by buying all its sugar crop at higher-than-market values, selling them oil at lower-than-market values, and just giving them lots of money. All that crashed to a halt when the USSR itself also crashed to a halt, and Cuba hit an economic bottom. That gradually has eased since the early 1990s, but Cuba still controls everything centrally and quickly clamps down on the few capitalist ventures it allows, when they start to get successful. They have the US embargo to blame for all their troubles, but that's mostly a scapegoat for being an economic mess of their own making.

NK has an extensive network of international activities, from smuggling weapons, to money laundering, etc. which is an important source of foreign exchange. Without mentioning this no NK economy review is complete, in my opinion.

Then again, talking about improvement in Pyongyang is kinda relative. There's no data that proves this statement. What HAS happened in Pyongyang is the construction of many modern buildings and new areas. The thing is, no one really knows who actually uses those buildings or even if they are being used in the first place. If I'm guessing, the government probably uses one or two floors in each building and the rest remains unused. But for argument's sake, even if quality of life is in fact improving in Pyongyang, that shouldn't really be impressive, since it's the postal card of a dictatorial regime and they'd do anything to make it look decent. The big problem really lies outside the capital, where people suffer everyday from starvation, persecution and fear.

Moreover even in state owned enterprises they have incentivized work such that the executives can take part in the profit. The CCP tolerates private enterprise and helps them get land very easily with extremely low regulations to facilitate economic growth.

Hey, just FYI the statement made about the US military being 54% of its spending is inaccurate. Its actually roughly 18% of total spending. That's because it makes up 54% of Discretionary spending (which is roughly 33% total spending and American votes can decrease it) while roughly 66% of spending total is Non-discretionary (Medicare and social security must be paid and cannot be decreased). Not only that but America serves as the unilateral protector of the west with some help from other countries. We actually pay for the military protection and involvement of NATO for most countries, which means that they just sell their ability to control violence in their regions to America.

The USA doesn’t spend 54% of its budget on the military. It spends 54% of its discretionary budget on the military. But discretionary spending only amounts to about 1/3 of US federal government spending. Mandatory spending makes up the other 2/3 of US federal spending. All together, the USA spent about $623 Billion USD in discretionary spending or 49.3% of the discretionary budget and $155 Billion USD on veterans programs in mandatory spending or about 6.2% of the mandatory budget. All together in 2018, the US federal government spent $778 Billion USD out of $4.1 Trillion USD total on the military, amounting to about 19%. However, allocating 66.98 Billion USD spent on interest ((.778T in military spending/(4.1T total spending-.325T interest spending))*.325T interest spending), that increases to 845 Billion USD spent on the military in 2018. That’s about 20.6% of total US federal government spending. This is a common mistake propagated by anti-war groups who like to use the 50% figure to try and say that military spending in the USA is out of control. When it’s not.

Try to do that in their country. You could always bad mouth a dictator when you are thousands of kilometers away from them.

"This... is North Korea." Odd. I didn't realize that North Korea was a circle with two Es on it. ;)

I can imagine the history books that my future grandchildren will be reading at school, telling of this really weird country that once existed called North Korea that was basically tantrum-throwing brat, and how I will be able to say 'Oh, yes, that was when I was young. Those were the good old days.'

You heavily underestimate the influence of sanctions on North Korea

The point of the sanctions is to cripple their economy until they stop oppressing the people. In that respect, it’s working. NK is becoming more and more desperate for money.

Kurt22 well yes they are becoming more desperate. But after 60 years, they’re still not giving up on their structure. Nor have they stopped oppressing the people. I think 60 years is enough time to realize what you’ve been doing isn’t gonna work.

@Tyler Slagel Do you have a different method we can try? An invasion would not end well for anyone. I agree that sanctions are not a very efficient method, but I just don’t know if there’s any other better option.
@tylerslagel5485
@tylerslagel5485 5 лет назад
Kurt22 I don’t have a different solution. There probably is one, but I am not aware of it. It won’t end well for NK. But the US won’t be scratched by NK. It has a comparatively small military using outdated war technology. And I already outlined the reason why China wouldn’t bother getting involved.

@@theyoshi202 Let Koreans determine their own future. It's not up to the US military to decide what they do. Sanctions give strongmen power because it's an obvious thing they can point to. "Look, imperialism is fucking you, not me!" Lift the sanctions and withdraw from South Korea. Most Koreans want to see the peninsula unified.
