![]() ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... . It was described by the Western media as intending to eradicate all forms of foreign influence: Punishment that goes as far as the death penalty ![]() |

#4 Sadly The Horrifying and Its Representation by Yassin al-Hajj Saleh doesn't seem to be available in English. Which is too bad, because Saleh seems like an interesting guy. |

#1 Personally, I liked Khaddafy better, but he was a self made man. The terror apparatus that maintains the country was long in place and an inheritance when Kim was born. Ideology notwithstanding, you have to keep in mind he did not ask for any of this and there is no simple exit. Standing one's uncle in front of a quad 12.7 gets big headlines but it also requires lots of henchmen. There is no way on earth he can throw open the gates and just say let's be friends. Somebody is going to pay and his henchmen know it very well. The North Korean version of musical chairs with some Tim Burton thrown in for fun. |
