How does the Kim family prevent military coups. I doubt the higher up Generals believe the god shit or are ignorant of the outside world
-
North Korean elites live like literal kings. Theres no incentive for them to try and overthrow the Kim’s.
-
But can they play video games?
-
Yes, they smuggled in Starcraft on a USB back in 2005 and have preparing to show up worst Korea on the pro gaming scene ever since.
-
Who cares?

they don’t live like kings but they do pretty well for themselves

yep, the elites have always been the leader of the revolution, without their approval there’s no revoluation

Do you even know the first thing about Koreans? They’re the most cult-prone, superstitious freaking people among East Asia.
Even South Korea is like these, they have Moonies & millenarian Protestant cults infesting their land, and Shaman cabals ruling the government.

They also believe sleeping with a fan on kills you or some shit like that.
-
It does
-
The myth was pushed by the government back during the energy crisis, so people wouldn’t sleep with it on.

Sounds like every scrote out there.-
scrote literally comes from 한국사람/한국인/hanscrotesaram/hanscrotein which is what they call themselves. only koreans are scrotes. japanese are nips (from nipponjin)

Why coup if Kim isn’t actively trying to shit on them and shake things up for the worse? The high command is content with the status quo.
-
Because they know they’re on the right side of history. North Korea is unironically a workers’ paradise. Everything you hear about human rights abuses and death camps and whatnot is all Western capitalist propaganda.

by using purges and personality cult to great effect
unironically this
I mean its not really paradise but SK propaganda really lie about them
they even resort to luring NK workers from China by promising better pay and then taking their passports and forcing them to sign of loyalty papers so they can’t never leave SK and go back to NK-

Holy shit dude i literally know people whos families escaped from North Korea. Its no joke. If you believe this youre either North Korean or have been battered by their propaganda
-
>i literally know people whos families escaped from North Korea
Yeeaaaa fat chance of that but still i’ll believe you, a couple of families don’t speak for millions of zitizens. You shouldn’t base your worldview on anecdotes

I’m neither of them, but I agree with their points.
Can you explain what makes you so triggered?

North Korea being a “worker’s paradise” and denying human rights abuses there are not very reasonable views which only hardcore communists have. It’s illegal to try to leave and a lot more people defect from North Korea than to North Korea.
-
> not very reasonable views which only hardcore communists have.
Pardon, but those same accusations (and more) that you levy against DPRK can be levied against many nations, South Korea included. Nevertheless, only DPRK is treated as some special case.>a lot more people defect from North Korea than to North Korea.
I’m not sure about that, nor the idea that this proves anything conclusively. -
While North Korea isn’t a paradise it’s also not the hellhole which the west portrays it as. Koreans are crafty people and have found a way to subsist despite pretty brutal sanctions. living there is better than third world countries and much better if your in pyongyang.
-
Kim Jong Uns vacations in NK sound like a a typical Ozark or Wildwood type getaway, nice but nothing extravagant really (woke af off The Great Successor). People described working there also sound like typical locals in those places.

Unless you have to eat your kids during the next famine or end up in the work camps because of something your cousin, uncle or grandad said or did.
-
>muh famine
the last famine was in the 90’s but yea just keep reiterating the meme
-

North Korea seems like a highly repressive state but I agree. I don’t think it would’ve survived this long if the regime wasn’t capable of motivating or inspiring their people. Or it might suck in some ways, but people grow up within it from birth and at some point decide to get on with their life.

i don’t understand why kids like that tty to defend north korea. do they think they need to blindly defend any nation that calls itself communist? is there some kind of weirdo that teaches kids that north korea isn’t an oppressive shithole?

they hated him. why? because he told them the truth. they hated him because he shone light on their lies.

This, western media is degenerate and thrives on sensationalism before facts. North korean secrecy and resistance to outsiders only exasterbates the misinformation. The misinformation runs so deep that there’s multiple in this thread repeating debunked narratives.

Got more? I don’t really know anything about North Korea so this is interesting

So I guess South Korea is as immersed into a fantasy world as the North. Look at who’s being lied to in reality.

Tabloids running scandalous headlines doesn’t make it any less shit. Notice the two things those headlines have in common? First, they’re about personel and secondly, they’re about disappearances. If North Korea allowed the free press to visit the country or even freedom of speech those headlines wouldn’t exist and those meme images don’t even challenge the poverty of north Korean people, just the status of literal whos

>If North Korea allowed the free press to visit the country
Why should foreign countries automatically have this right as a given? It’s not like the western world has north koreas best interests at heart
>those meme images don’t even challenge the poverty of north Korean people
The point of the images is to show the quality of the journalism surrounding NK in the mainstream news outlets. The irony here is that your assertion of North korean povery is woke af in memes and slanderous journalism like that picture. But yes continue eating up that narrative, im sure you would support some kind of foreign intervention to free the North koreans

>keep generals rich
>keep balance of power among them
No one would coup because the risk of them losing their wealth is greater, and the reward for any other officer to snitch on them is even more so.
None will rebel unless backed by China.-
This and Lil Kim is getting more capitalist and expanding the middle class of wealthy elites.
Deeply Problematic Reactionary Kingdom was never a workers’ state, it was always a company town for Kim Inc.

It practically is a military regime already. It’d be like the army overthrowing itself.

No one in the dprk believes kim is a "god" or is "ignorant of the outside world". He’s a figurehead head of state, with actual power shared between him and the rest of the supreme council. You have been brainwashed by western propaganda.
-
Tankies are as delusional as nazis
-
Por favor?
-
The USSR was undone by numerous competing power factions in a vast multi-ethnic state. China is a vast country with many competing power factions that have to be appeased and some balance/compromise needed. North Korea however has no base of wealth or power outside Kim and his buddies, who have no motivation to fix what (for them) isn’t broken.
-
>I doubt the higher up Generals believe the god shit
no one believes the "godshit" except gullible idiots like you. it’s western propaganda. -
Because the Kim family are a bunch of fat lazy degenerates that let the military nomenklatura run the country. If they overstepped the boundaries, the military absolutely would depose of the ruler and put his sis/son/niece/cousin in his place. The cult of personality prevents them from directly going against the family, but one son could be swapped for another with relative ease.

Generals aside, everyone in Best Korea is starving so there is no energy to rebel against Kim , most escapees don’t defect for freedom but for food. On top of that the north Korean education system teaches the people that they exist purely to worship Kim, there is no world without Kim.-

An incomplete explanation, but I’ll give it a go.
As I understand it, according to Lankov, one of the reasons for the stability of the regime is the role played by the OGD (Organization and Guidance Department) and the way they run things behind the scene. The OGD maintains files on all members, especially those of higher rank. These files can consist of former classmates who have expressed sentiments against the regime or goods you acquired through the private markets.
These files are used to determine who gets to climb the ranks and thus increase the likelihood of maintaining stability. Case in point would be how Kim Jong Il used his position in the OGD to ensure that he would be his father’s successor (at the time, his half-sis stood in a more favorable position).
I’m sure it’s more complicated than this, but it’s what I got.
