Besides the whole nukes and western bullying
What do you think North and South korea will be doing now
Dabbing. Nah jk.
Sorry, that wasn't at all clear. You implying that the US has policed "idiots" left a terrible taste. You essentially called oppressed groups that have suffered tremendously thanks to US imperialism idiots. And that's not right at all.
Since they no longer intend to cut each other's throats
Probably doing as they planned?
Slowly take over skorea.
That's cutting the throat
well, assuming it wasn't all for show, there's a very real possibility that nkorea could collapse under capitalist pressure.
Of course there is a chance.
But, they have released US prisoners.
Even if it is for show, at least they got out.
yeah, fair point.
You think N-K would try to copy China in order to survive?
that's actually what i was typing
holy shit
Mm.
People have brought the possibility up
And what would that be?
possibly going all deng-y and allowing investment by foreign companies
It still could wotk.
it *could*, but opening up to western influence seems to be the death knell for many a socialist regime
If they don't fix the economy.
We'll (US) will probably raid.
If they don't fix their food either.
They should ya know
even if they do, the US could always CIA them
Try to raise that living standard a bit
again, i'm not a big fan of the kims
And what of the Vietnamese?
If not the kims
Or the chins
they're privatizing a fair bit too
not a big fan of them either, but at least they aren't what appears to be a dynasty with a vice grip on power
To be honest I think Vietnam is fine the way it is now.
That would mean a "Socialist Market Economy". I doubt they will adopt the Chinese model, but it's definitely a possibility. Their economy actually isn't in as bad a shape as some would like to believe. In fact, Forbes published an article a little over a year ago I believe that talked about how the NK economy was booming, sanctions and all.
Like
It's not perfect
But it's not North Korea either
Plus shit ton of motorbikes
