North Korea’s Youth Grow Increasingly Critical of Socialist System
2017-04-28

The youth of North Korea are more likely to be critical of the country’s political system than older generations and frequently crack jokes about the failings of the Kim Jong Un regime, despite the threat of arrest, according to sources.

Pyongyang recently responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s increasingly hawkish policy towards North Korea by saying that the Kim regime “will not shy away from the opportunity to defend socialism,” according to a statement in the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

But sources told RFA’s Korean Service that the country’s youth regularly mock the failings of the political system, which they believe is socialist purely in name, referring to how “China alone is a socialist country with its own characteristics, while ours is a capitalist country with North Korean characteristics.”

Maybe that explains why the labor camps have been increasing.

You know you are doing something to get sent to a labor camp where the entire country is a labor camp.
