What Would Happen To You If You Immigrate To North Korea? 

yeonmi your a inspiration

The management office No. 14 has an invitation for executives, which is a kind of special feature where they stay and eat when the deputy general level comes down from Pyongyang. When executives come down from Pyongyang, they will select women aged 21 to 25 with even faces among female prisoners, bathe them, and dedicate them to the executives. Executives use these women as all kinds of tricks and secretly kill them as "runners" to keep them confidential.

I live in Hawaii, and if you were born in the wrong family, and end up working for the wrong people and put in the wrong situation, it becomes really hard to get out, especially when you want and need to, I feel you, everyone, don’t move to Hawaii.

Can you find a good woman for me for marriage? Or introduce me a Korean marriage site?

India is a socialist country but biggest democracy so how you can say socilasm is not good , and madam plz study somethings about your country its not socialist but communist😁😁😁

And I love it 😎 wouldn't it be nice to have an exchange program: entitled people to North Korea, for every entitled one, two North Koreans to the states. Soon the USA would be out of entitled and snowflakes and North Korea could deal with them, while the USA have some great new citizens who wouldn't call the manager because the one who doesn't work there won't help them to find stuff... Just imagine a Karen calling for the Manager in North Korea 😂

Gotta laugh so you don't cry.

It’s only natural to help deal with such a depressing topic as is everything in North Korea

she's also a massive patriot for being a foreigner.

“I never knew women can be president” well nobody can be president “The regime decides your employement” so nobody is unemployed “You can’t contact police” sounds like the life of an inner city black person “They’ll put you all over social media and use you for brain washing” that’s literally what you are your on RU-vid propagating for capitalism “You can never leave North korea” you can never leave America it’s the whole world except a certain few countries At the end of the day you left you didn’t like it you should keep that to yourself stop propagating against the regime and acting like capitalism is perfect cuz it’s not just like North korea obviously isn’t perfect but one is easier to reform into perfection than the other.

Wow such freedom huh 😂😂😂

The funny thing is that no country that has called itself communist actually follows the ideals of communism. If they did, they’d be successful.

@@synonymrolls4051 No. They do follow the ideals of Communism. That is why they are failures.

@@Aegius You clearly know nothing about the ideology and probably only know what the far right wants you to.

I don't think NK is actually communist. While I don't agree with communism, while studying the subject I understood NK is not actually communist. Rather, I believe it becomes Capitalism, very different from western capitalism. The poor have nothing, absolutely nothing. Those close to the leaders are rich and have everything. When there are rich and poor, it's not communism anymore

@@readyintrovertone5808 the communism that you talk about never really existed. There were always some people with more privileges than others or more money and so on. That's why "real" communism is utopic. It never existed, it doesn't exist right now and it never will. My country (Romania) abolished communism in 1989, but we still live under it's effects even to this day, considering that most of our politicians that came after the Revolution were the ones that had some influence during the communist era and corruption is still a huge thing in most Eastern European countries. In my opinion, communism is the worst thing that ever happened during the history of this country and most of Eastern Europe. Sending my best thoughts for the North Korean people and I hope that one day they will be free and be able to live a decent life in a normal country.

mmm you changed his words. he said “DEMOCRACY may not be perfect, but at least i don’t have to build a wall to keep my people in”

No matter what system is in a place, there will ALWAYS be a small percentage who is better off than the majority. Doesn't matter if it's Capitalism, Socialism, Fascism, Feudalism, ETC.... All Socialist leaders and their echelons throughout history have lived SIGNIFICANTLY better than the people they ruled over except maybe Ho Chi Minh since that place was a complete shithole anyways lol

Very well put, and amen!

It amazes me when people state their freedom is taken away just because they should wear a mask in public for covid spread, you are so right, privileged people DON'T know anything!

Yes, but that doesn't mean people suffering in america should shut up just because they have it less bad than people in NK. People in NK are dehumanized, living under the poverty line like wayyyyyy under, and starving. they have it extremely bad. My opinion is that anyone who can secure enough food, safety, a home, electricity, and clean water. should not be complaining about the smallest things.

Ya now this traitor is living more privilege than you are i assume In your own country I’m assuming this is the United States wonder how that makes you feel ?

@George Washington Beware!! Some of them are not stupid, but instead brilliant, clever, and sinister. You’ll let down your guard and get hurt if you assume they’re all stupid.

@George Washington funny you say the left indoctrinates when you're sitting here blindly hating a group of millions or even hundreds of millions people because they don't 100% agree with you. as an outsider, it's hilarious the way leftists & right wingers in america blame each other for all of america's problems while this hatred and extreme division is exactly what will cause the downfall of america.

There’s been 6 Americans who have “defected” to North Korea

Someone who has nothing left to lose. There are people who are losing at capitalism, buried to their eyeballs in debt with no hope for the future. Maybe they think things will be better if they could start over in a communist country where everyone is "equal."

@George Washington Hell yeah!!! bible thumpers, inbreds, and science deniers unite!!!!

Her problems are with a dictatorship and she'd have those same problems if it was a capitalist dictatorship, the economic system sure plays a role in how much power a person has, but the political power a dictator has outweights any economic power you can acquire at a personal level.

Except the homeless

@@matthewnelson1606 Honestly I'd still rather be homeless than be in North Korea.

Wow. Good luck. 👍 Most of these universities are "woke" and may not appreciate Yeonmi. Have you read her book? I strongly suggest doing so as it will help you greatly on your project. Best of luck!

Most universities would not appreciate a Yeonmi Park based thesis. In fact, your professor will probably throw it out the back window. I advise you read into the accounts of North Koreans illegally trafficked to South Korea who now wanna go back home to North Korea. Now, that's education

@@Steveinthailand bullshit

@@chilitoday It's true there are plenty of people who've escaped and want to go back, because if they don't, three generations of their family will be killed by the regime.

@@alunjones3860 So it’s not that they want to go back, but they feel it’s necessary to save loved ones lives. Anyone can understand that as a motive, as it is an exceedingly brave and selfless impulse. It is also a grave mistake to do so. There is no advantage to returning for either the families or the escapee. Kim will kill every single escapee that returns in front of his or family as a warning to all other NK citizens. All NKoreans are already living under threat of death at any moment at the whim of a madman. The lives of the remaining families are being used as tools of psychological torture to compel the escapees to falsely believe their families would be spared if they only return. It is diabolical. The escapees must learn to live in freedom while knowing their families are being imprisoned. No matter what Kim promises everyone knows the end result will be that he will have revenge on any escapee and his family whether or not the escapee returns. This is a certainty.

Yes, she’s comparing Socialism to a Dictatorship. They’re NOT the same thing. The Nazis and Russians confused people (on purpose) by putting the word “Socialist” in the name of their party (Nazis) and in the name of their country (country). Neither was Socialist; both were dictatorships (and the Nazis were even further right than Sociaists even though people on the right in the U.S. accuse it of being a far-left system). Since then, people all over the world think Socialism means a dictatorship. That’s why so many right-wingers get freaked out when people on the left hold up Scandinavian and other European countries, in any way, as good examples of good governance. That’s why I always use the term “Democratic Socialism” to explain these country’s social system. Democratic Socialism is NOT pure Socialism either, and is a combination-style between Democracy (and Capitalism) and pure Socialism. In the U.S. I refer to our system as “toxic” or end-stage Capitalism”, because our corporations really run everything, including our government and politicians, and EVERYTHING has to be all about profits for the corporations, no matter who or how many people get hurt. In those more left-leaning countries in Europe, things are purposely run to actually help the people who do the actual work and pay taxes, and the people live very much happier lives in general. I highly recommend watching Michael Moore’s documentary “Where to Invade Next”. It’s an outstanding documentary about how various European countries run various aspects of their societies, including work, education, politics, legal institutions (like prisons) women’s rights and vacations. It’s a real eye-opener, and i even cried during it thinking how much better our lives here in the U.S. could be if we instituted many of those policies. But, the corporations (and the corporate-owned politicians) would never allow it because those things do not increase THEIR profits, but actually cost them money. We are nothing but slave labor to them, ironically much like a dictatorship. It’s called a Corporatocracy. What they don’t understand (or actually really don’t care about) is that healthier, better educated, happier people work better longer and produce more for the country and economy in the long-term, not to mention that the crime rates go down because happier well-paid people commit fewer crimes. But that doesn’t factor into authoritarianism. Sorry to go on a long rant, but I always feel the need to clear up the misconceptions about the word “Socialism” that are being spread to invoke fear in the populace.

This is tge point I was going to make. It's not communism or socialism that takes people's freedom in North Korea, it's authoritarianism. This false equivalence is often repeated by people on the right. @@kgs2280 you explained it better than I could.

@@Pining_for_the_fjords Thanks

@@Pining_for_the_fjords I would also like to clarify that in the early portion of my comment, I was not implying that Socialism is a far right system. It is actually a very LEFT-leaning system, whereas Naziism, Communism, Dictatorships, as well as Corporatocracies (like ours) are far Right. All of those systems fall under the heading of Authoritarianism, as in “you will do exactly as we tell you, and nothing but what we tell you”.

I was about to say this. Thanks

To a degree. I hate it when people are like "wHy DoNt yOu LeAve??" every time you try to constructively criticize something to improve the country you're in. An example being the atrocious meme health care system the U.S. has. I wish we had a first world health care system like the NHS over here.

America is an excellent example of things wrong compared to the UK by itself lol.

I mean just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean we shouldn't try and improve what we have.

Most of the jobs recruiting in the NHS are bureaucrats and middle management.

I find it rather amusing when I hear one complaint about the NHS being the long wait times. Back when we (I'm in America) could mostly afford our health care (before the recession of the late '00s), we waited for 4+ hours I the ER too. 4 hours was an extremely quick visit tbh. An ER trip for me would be pretty much an all nighter back then...

That's the point. The fact that North Korea is the worst concerning all aspects of a society doesn't mean complains about other countries aren't fair as if there was nothing to improve.

The difference in North Korea (regarding domestic violence) is that it happens so often that no one cares, it's not even illegal. The husbands don't get punished for hitting their wives. In South Korea, (as well as many other countries) it's illegal and punishable by law. You also mentioned about people who struggle to make ends meet under a capitalist society. The beauty is that we have people who come out of poverty and become very successful. Yeonmi is one of the great examples of someone who came out of poverty (very little education from North Korea) and became very educated and successful in a relatively short amount of time under capitalism.

? You saw domestic violence in South Korea few years Go? Hmmm. During super bowl in the US do you it's the worst day for domestic violence ? Point is as long as there's people in this world there will be some kind of domestic abuse..it doesn't matter what country you are in. Especially now days south korean's are turning into feministic country.

Next time, try writing in English.

@@MrFlint62 a claro foi mal pô

Completely agree. I'm Scottish and when I look at what goes on in America, a lot of how things work shocks me. In Scotland, we have free education (even undergraduate degree level) and free healthcare (something I think everyone should be entitled to). We all pay fair taxes (which are calculated based on earnings) and this pays for these kinds of things. It shocks me to hear that people in America often don't call an ambulance if they are seriously injured or dying because if they did they would be bankrupt. Of course, North Korea is worse than America but that doesn't mean America is good. I am so grateful not to be in either of these countries, to be honest. And as you say, there is always room for growth. Scotland is not perfect either.

@@CH-qh8tu Exactly, these are issues that many gloss over as if these are not factors in overall well-being. Many of the Americans who might say they want socialism are those who cannot afford healthcare, childcare or education. What they want is not necessarily socialism but social policies and programs. These concepts are regularly conflated with socialism because of political rhetoric in the US. US media and politicians often capitalize on the fear of communism and socialism to prevent progressive legislation from passing.

@@Tanknuggets217 theres a difference ? 😀😀

America, we’re I live, in a sense has “free education” and what I mean by that is public schools get funding from state and local taxes. To get into public school you don’t have to pay a fee to keep ur child in. Only the taxes

@@fancywaifu9821 He is talking about college.

Most US states have a bigger economy than your entire country it says a lot about how your system works. Colorado for example has a very similar population but has a gdp of 100 million dollars more than Finland. I think you understand my point of view but then again you didn't ask me.

@@sebastianschakel8926 Gdp is just one metric, which measures the amount of private money traded. There's less to pay for in Finland, so the gdp is smaller. For example, when you pay your tuition fees in America, that sum is added to the gdp. In Finland there are no tuition fees.

@@raapyna8544 GDP also includes government spending no? Which means your example healthcare and tuition are also being payed and added to gdp.

Why is it that people say ( if you dont like Amerikka then get out ) but if people from other countries want to come here because they dont like thiers then they're told to ( stay and FIX their own country ) ??

Good quote! I can't believe I've never heard it before tbh.

Churchill was a piece of shit himself

@@tanishksharma3305 Ahhhh. That’s not the issue. He was right.

Yes, I lived and taught in North Korea. I was free to see and do whatever I wanted. This woman is talking crap.

@@Steveinthailand No she's not. She was born there. You have obviously not watched any of her videos. She escaped when she was 13 but ahe didn't think of it as "escape". She was starving and she could see China across the river. She just thought if she could make it over where the light was (because they hardly ever have electricity in North Korea), maybe she could knock on someone's door and they would give her a bowl of rice. Just because you went there as a teacher (probably in the area of the highest social class) you don't know what it's like for those people living over there.

I keep sharing my patriotism and our luck to make things better here in America and one of my friends stopped being so far left, show the amazing part of our luck and our democracy. God bless our country !!

There is a word that separates Scandinavian countries etc. From Venezuela, north korea etc. That is social democracy, netherlands, Sweden etc. Are not socialist but they are not exactly capitalist either, they have socialistic policies like free healthcare, education, strong social safety nets, high taxes etc. But still work on a free market, most companies are privately owned and they completely respect human rights

@@shiveebhartia1271 I know, I'm Dutch. There needs to be a different word to separate democratic socialists and social democrats. The terms are constantly confused and it's obvious why.

There are words to describe these various differences, it's just that people are incredibly lazy in this particular topic, since honest discussion is often not the goal. "Why don't you just go to north korea" is not an honest question to explore the topic, it's an attempt to say "ha, gotcha!"
