if it happens I'm going to go into the business of authentic NK cuisine
minus cash supply for their elites
Banana peel and old boiled slipper
entree
is it really that bad
how can they not have enough food
do they export it all
it's not
there have been periods of famine though
the problem isn't exactly that they don't have enough food, though that is an issue too
it's they don't have a real answer for variation and unexpected events
so like Africa, a bad season can lead to a mass die off
Agriculture relied on electrically powered irrigation systems and artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and was hard hit by the economic collapse.[16][17]
re: the 90s famine
yeah
koreans have a long history of intensive agriculture
and are no africans
so if things are bad, they are really bad
shit is also bad for the old Soviet Russia reasons
yeah but isn't like 80% of the population farmers
probably if they fed themselves only in a localized, communal fashion
they would be fine
but then you add scale, and you add no real connection to their own production
@fallot yeah I've heard of the LBrothers from some random blog rec years ago.
sry for wikipedo
@fallot most Africans live at an early iron age level.
Circular thatch huts like the most primitive Irish tribes ( not the ones with the high kings)
yeah I know
Slabs and burn agriculture. Sub classical world. Medieval peasants are 2000 years ahead of them
North Korean peasants basically live in 1900
These are people who can't figure out crop rotation or building a spiked plough. Some have classical era board ploughs making them German peasants in antiquity.
I would not necessarily write NK of
Obviously, they have to somehow manage inner tensions
But NK is the only country in the world that dares to openly say
MILITARY FIRST
And make it an official state ideology
And not only that, but to make military the most important and most desirable social function, for both men and women
Meaning that bourgeoisie spirits are systematically annihilated over there
It seems that NK elite is clever enough to notice
