    Pyongyang looks fabulous in that picture!
    And look at that amazing, futuristic skyscraper in the centre-right. Socialism in action!

    I wonder how long I have to wait in line to get a work permit visa for NoKo?

    All taxes have been repealed? SIGN ME UP!

    But then how do they pay for universal everything...

    Not that it matters, but the typography in that N. Korean one is horrible. The letterspacing is more tragic than the actual lies. I just couldn't let that go unsaid.

    That pyramid piece claims that people in the capitalist system works for the state when in reality capitalists work for themselves and socialists work for the government. I think this propaganda contrasts with reality to much to be effective.

    The similarity of the Ryugyong Hotel and the Ministry of Truth from 1984 is incredible.
