Idk if I speak for other people here but being critical of capitalism doesn't necessarily mean you want to copy paste North Korea. Or the Ukrainian SSR.

Well in North Korea you do not have a right to vote, work where they tell you to, and you are subject to imprisonment without a warrant or any probable cause. And make sure to not get pregnant in your prison camp since the guards have no qualms tying you to a tree and cutting it out of you.

But sure, be a refugee in North Korea. Sounds fun. /s

oh wow yes you are the most trust worthy source

you must live in north Korea?

i do live in the united states and my testimony is fact

what even is yours?

I kind of doubt you do live in the US. My information comes from people who have been in prison camps there. I really do not give two shits about your testimony.

9 day old thread, but North Korean defector testimonies are infamous for falling apart under scrutiny.

This pretty much sums up what happens when you get born in north Korea (except the jobs are worse than fast food)
