Come for the delight of seeing someone who actually lived under socialism explain its evils to freaks who want it here. Stay for the freaks declaring North Korea has full employment and pays workers decent wages. I guess that’s when they’re not throwing you in concentration camps or rationing your food to the point of starvation.
But whatever. These people are either idiots of the first order, in which case they won’t listen, or know the evils of socialism but don’t care because it’s all about the collective good or whatever. Like Lenin said, you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet. In which case, again, they won’t listen.
