The kind of stuff a socialist country can focus on after they have nuclear weapons

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

The "units" are "free" because no one "lives" there, am I right fellow liberals?

I was under the impression that everyone in North Korea basically lived in underground bunkers.

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.

Tunnelmaxxing is undefeated in the meta

It truly is!

Remeber when some US news rag or something said Hamas created the tunnel system. Me and my friends had a laugh at that.

north korea shows you can do things differently than anyone else and still succeed against bad odds, as long as you are an actually free country.
