Nothing wrong with these elections.

The vote result of “100% approval upon Kim Jong-Il” is quite natural in this particular East Asian country, since the East Asian peoples are known to be people of ultimate uniformity and homogeneity and DPRK is the supreme existence among them. Everyone must appreciate the nature of East Asian people and should accept this vote result without any unjust suspicion.

Our earnest desire for liberation from the American Imperialism shall be realized. Burn the puppets of evil!

This comment actually looks serious. I’m generally able to tell the sarcastic ones, like Richard’s a few comments up, but this one is either too subtle even for me, or actually serious. As hard as it may be to consider someone could seriously believe this.

Couldn’t agree more Richard. I vote you move there and enjoy the Utopian existence that Great Leader Kim Il-Sung created.

Whats wrong with these elections? In China they don’t even have this. To me, it seems very clear that the man was able to make a choice. He showed his deep respect to his leaders that have given him everything he has, and then expressed his support to the great party that has kept North Korea going despite the imperialist Americans and Japanese. Not to mention the puppet government of Lee Myung-Bak in south Korea.

I dont know about you, but I see a great, perfect democracy and great socialism in action.

Reminds me a bit of what I read about the voting system in the DDR. Although, North Korea seems to be much, much worse.

I disagree. The majority population is impoverished because the wealth all flows into controlled hands – Our Dear Leader et al.

It’s socialism in name and name alone. It’s an aristocracy ruled over by a tyrant in much the way a Feudalistic system operates. “The workers” are obviously not in control, which is the very heart of socialism.

The DPRK is the ultimate expression of socialist values. The government controls the means of production, the people are largely equal in prosperity (freezing and starving, but equal), and there are no evil corporations that unfairly concentrate capital. In terms of socialist utopia, it’s even better than Cuba.

It’s true that this glorious form of govenment has not transcended the DPRK borders and therefore doesn’t fit the definition of true International Socialism. I have no idea why DPRK’s example has not inspired its neighbors to emulate it. Perhaps their upcoming “satellite launch” will help persuade them.

It’s symbolic. It’s supposed to show the world that “the people are making the choices”.

It’s mistakenly called a socialist country, but socialism was supposed to transcend world borders (a product of nationalism) and emphasize class. North Korea (the Kims and their henchmen, at least) twisted it all up into a great ball of aristocratic-totalitarian-nationalist fused manure.

You can have it in any form you like. Milkshake! Deep fried! Steamed! Frozen! Butter on top! As long as it’s made with horse manure it’s perfectly okay.

In a country like North Korea, it’s not a matter of Yes or No. You either do it or you face the other side of a bullet wound.
