A Nation of Racist Dwarfs
He guided me patiently around the ruined and starving country, explaining things away by means of a sort of denial mechanism and never seeming to lose interest in the gargantuan monuments to the world's most hysterical and operatic leader-cult.
The North Korean government run educational system works very well. It has done a good job of teaching the people racism, race arrogance, xenophobia and nationalist hysteria.
The United States and its partners make up in aid for the huge shortfall in North Korea's food production, but there is not a hint of acknowledgement of this by the authorities, who tell their captive subjects that the bags of grain stenciled with the Stars and Stripes are tribute paid by a frightened America to the Dear Leader.
The North Korean government is unable to produce enough food (or anything else) for the normal needs of their country and their people. So the United States (as well as other countries) provides food so that the the people won't revolt and overthrow their oppressive government.
Every child is told every day of the wonderful possibility of death by immolation in the service of the motherland and taught not to fear the idea of war, not even a nuclear one.
Which is why North Korea doesn't have electricity in 99.99 % of their homes, but it does have a nuclear industry for building bombs and rocket delivery systems to protect them from other countries.
Here are the two most shattering facts about North Korea. First, when viewed by satellite photography at night, it is an area of unrelieved darkness. Barely a scintilla of light is visible even in the capital city. Second, a North Korean is on average six inches shorter than a South Korean.
Obviously the perfect communist country. The leaders are so firmly entrenched in power, that the people can't even conceive of revolt (and any who do, are killed).
