    Full story: Kim Jong Un Goes Round Completed Mirae Scientists Street
    "Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, went round Mirae Scientists Street, which was successfully completed as a model of Juche-oriented architecture and fairy street in the era of the Workers' Party.

    "Feasting his eyes on the street, he said the longer one watches it, the more magnificent and spectacular it looks. He noted with pleasure that it proves visually the idea of the Workers' Party of Korea of attaching importance to science and talents, it is a fashionable street of perfect combination of the Juche character, national identity, originality and formative art and unique one of our style which appeared in the capital city of Pyongyang as an icon of cultural efflorescence.



    "He said that it is fantastic, indeed, to watch the tower symbolic of the 53-storied skyscraper which has been built like an electronic track so that one may know it is Mirae Scientists Street even from distance, adding that formative art was applied to all the buildings at a very high level.

    ...

    "Hearing officials say foreigners will hardly believe that ordinary educators and scientists of the country will live free of charge in such deluxe apartment houses in the street on the picturesque bank of the Taedong River, he said that it is the advantages of the socialist system in the DPRK which capitalist countries can neither imitate nor build."

    Makes our news stories about outhouses being let at exorbitant rents in London look like pretty shameful. If capitalism is so good, how come it doesn't produce any fairy streets or cultural efflorescences for educators and scientists to live in?

        Comrade Corbyn will be upset you didn't call him dear leader, another one added to the list of subversives no doubt
        Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

        No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Well, they do look kind of pretty.

              Let's revisit in 30 or 40 years...

                DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of North Korea is like Sim City only with some mods:

                1) population can't rebel to replace you (the Dear Leader)
                2) it's ok if 80% of population can't eat enough - in fact it's even preferably to ensure #1 actually happens
