damn is this a socialist utopia ? also I’ve never seen something so extensive be built in 4 years. in my town potholes haven’t even been filled for the 5 years I’ve lived there. Is it difficult emigrating to NK ?
It’s socialist, but not a utopia. No country on Earth is free of problems. It’s also extremely difficult to move to the DPRK.

I was under the impression that everyone in North Korea basically lived in underground bunkers, with above ground having monuments to Kim Jong Un.
No I will not explain or elaborate.
To be fair, the DPRK are tunnel-maxxers, similar to Hamas, due to the legacy of Statesian bombing campaigns during the Korean War.
Remeber when some US news rag or something said Hamas created the tunnel system. Me and my friends had a laugh at that.
Tunnelmaxxing is undefeated in the meta
It truly is!
Learning of this here combined w Irani tunneling and both to avoid the us empire’s bombing gives me hunger games district 13 vibes. Lol
Tunnels work!
The kind of stuff a socialist country can focus on after they have nuclear weapons

The “units” are “free” because “no” “one” “lives” there, am I right fellow liberals?
north korea shows you can do things different than anyone else and still succeed against bad odds, as long as you are an actually free country.
I feel like this divide sums up the freedom that’s allowed
wow, even the buildings. there’s no lights on, it’s not random. it’s either off or accent lights
no THIS is what freedom really looks like.
In evil communist dictatorships most people are mandated to stand in front of the stage and only a select elite is allowed backstage
Do you think OP is presenting this street, completely full with people, as an example of normal pedestrian traffic? This is the inauguration. Nobody lives in these flats. The people on the street are having a party, following a plan by the party organisers, and then at the end they will move in to their new flats.
Most likely the party organisers have made deliberate choices to discourage people attending from watching from behind the stage, on account of how stages work.
what next? the buildings are made out of cardboard and the people need to push the trains?
And they couldn’t afford a drone to take this picture, the crowd just had to get together to throw someone up high enough to snap it. Seventy photographers died before Kim Jong Un was satisfied with the white balance

The DPRK has neither slaves nor a dictator.
Just because you don’t call the slaves doesn’t mean they aren’t.
“If the Koreans didn’t build things, it was because the country was a failed hellhole. But when in fact they built very impressive things, it was because of slavery. No evidence of slavery was ever found: it was simply taken on faith that they’re the Bad Guys, and that’s what Bad Guys do, so they must do it.”
What we’re dealing with is an unfalsifiable orthodoxy
Just because you refer to workers in the DPRK as “slaves” doesn’t mean they are. Slavery is a specific form of labor relation, workers in the DPRK collectively own the means of production and distribution.
