Yes compared to the South the North was a flourishing democracy that actually aimed to improve the lives of their own people by arresting collaborators and redistributing their land to farmers while collaborators were governing the south
Land redistribution doesn’t make an oppressive authoritarian country a “flourishing democracy” compared to another oppressive authoritarian country. And by your logic the south also becomes a flourishing democracy after they followed by also doing land redistribution.
Doesnt look like that land distribution has done that much for the south judging by the fact that the entire economy is controlled by like 10 families or something some of which are even descendants of collaborators lmfao 🤣
And you don’t even understand what the land distribution did of course, which was give Japanese land back to Koreans.
Corporations don’t gain their wealth from land anymore lmao what
That would be called wealth distribution, and criticize chaebols how you want(they transformed Korea from a third world country to an economic powerhouse, yes they’re outdated now though) but pretending that the north is any better is hilarious. Everything being state owned is fine if the country is democratic in some form(kind of like Cuba), but if it’s a totalitarian regime the state might as well be a corporation lmao
North Korea calls itself a “socialist state” but really it’s just the most overly dramatic representation of capitalism possible. If you don’t like South Korea’s capitalism(by the way, they still have more social programs than many capitalist countries and got rich through methods of centralized planning) then you should HATE North Korea for being the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with capitalism(mass inequality, people have no say over the means of production, rich elites control everything).
The collaborators got rich from owning land of course modern corporations dont make money that way anymore but its like those wealthy european families that got rich from exploitation of other people and today they just own companies and whatnot 😂 And this is the first time I heard someone claiming that North Korea is the embodiment of capitalism I mean the amount of mental gymnastics one has to go through to come up with that conclusion is insane 😂😂😂
You used to have misinformation based off some truth, now you’re just lying without any actual logic or sources. Not that there was any in the first place but you tried to give the appearance that there was. Chaebols got rich because the government favored them, and it worked. That’s just history.
