The hyper capitalist south is by no means great but I’d rather that than a disappearance state with cardboard walls. Authoritarianism is bad regardless of economic structure.
Yes, because north Koreans must have a gene for authoritarianism or something. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with having all of its towns destroyed and 20% of its population killed by the US in a savage bombing campaign where more bombs were dropped than in the entirety of WW2, and have been under a deathly and relentless imperialist siege since.
Would be crazy if South Korea had a massive, brutal police state or a long history of improvised slums and ruthless exploitation of it's citizenry.
Good thing we're sanctioning North Korea to the hilt, guaranting none of those horrible practices become common place throughout the Western aligned Asian states
