There's a reason why the congressional outrage over his dismissal died down and fantasies about Trumans impeachment went with it. Even the hardcore Republicans realized that pushing the affair further would just bring up MacArthurs insubordination and sedition. Quote:

You read about all these Communist agricultural processes, and you come to a disturbing realization that in many cases Feudalism was a more fair system to the peasants. Last edited by Roger Rambo; 2010-11-24 at 07:48. |

Another important resource to factor is cultural, as several important natural or architectural landmarks of the Korean culture are in the North.

My aunt who works as a Filipino diplomat recently went to NK on a "tour" with some backing from the Chinese government I think. Wasn't much of a "tour" as it was being herded around by angry looking people through some suspiciously happy and joyous populations.

The fact she's a diplomat and had Chinese backing tells me that it's a bit difficult to actually enter NK as a tourist in the first place, which leads me to think that there isn't much of a market for tourism there. I might be wrong, but that's the impression I'm getting from what you said

Using the mindsets of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), NMFP (Not My F***ing Problem) and MMOB (Minding My Own Business), they are able to secure their current lifestyles and income streams without any conscience or guilt. That is how individualism makes people rich, at the expense of society. Quote:
The technology itself is dispensable since they are just unlicensed copies. If the Khyber Pass residents can rebuild rifles using resources from the region, North Korea shouldn't have a problem making stuff for China at a much lower cost. Quote:

If the population within dies, simply arrest more people. From a business standpoint that is maximum efficiency. *sarcastic*

Fair and reasonable new order? I think they are just extending their rights to build Gulags and suppress dissent against China's exploitation of not just their own people, but smaller countries as well. Quote:
Unfortunately it wasn't. In the US, democracy has been corrupted by corporatism, while in China, democracy essentially is taken as the right to exploit the people on the lower-income pyramid, rather than giving them a chance to succeed in life. He must have rolled over in his grave to see that his great economic plan taken to pieces by people called "lawyers", "politicians" and "responsibility shirkers".
