I love watching these interviews, I became really interested in how people live in NK and I'm glad they're doing great. I just can't stop thinking about their poor family, where are they? Are they okay? What happened to them? That's a little concerning.
The more I learn about North Korea, the more insane I realise it is. I knew about the haircuts and regional travel restrictions, but the lack of personal property and the state being able to just take money out of someone’s bank account came as a surprise to me.
Suddenly I understand why the black market is so popular in North Korea. Why most people outside of Pyongyang rely on a bartering and black market or unofficial markets hidden from the state. I thought it was mostly because the state didn’t provide enough food such as rice. Now I understand it’s more about preventing the state from just stealing everything from them.
The Socialist concept prohibits individuals from owning anything. Privatization has no room in a socialist state, everything must belong to the state and be "distributed fairly and equally". The reasoning behind this is to prevent people from creating wealth for themselves, in which case there would be a hierarchy and a gap between the classes. In theory, a socialist state does not have a hierarchy. In practice, that's not possible, which is why socialism cannot work.
When Karl Marx wrote the communist manifesto, this was his main objective - to abolish the gaps between the working class and the bourgeoise (the class that owns the means of production and had more wealth - factory owners, investors, etc.). This way, everyone would get an equal slice of the pie. This idea has been built on the premise of compassion - the working class were basically slaves and the bourgeoise were considered to be greedy and selfish.
The biggest flaw of this - if you stop people from starting businesses and generate revenue, the speed of the economy decreases and the government will quickly run out of money. Pretty much every communist state that actually followed this strict doctrine ended up running out of money and it's people ended up starving. Even countries that are considered to be communist today, like China or Vietnam, gave this up and allowed privatization to some extent. The reason China has such a big economy today is because it allowed a certain element of free market - it only remains communist in it's name, censorship, lack of freedom of expression / press, etc. Otherwise, it is by all means a free market economy. Before this, they were struggling just as bad as NK.

Glad you got out and got together. My girlfriend also fled a socialist country, but her former country wasn't nearly as bad as North Korea! North Korea is on a whole different level of bad.
Living in Pyongyang is kind of like living here in NYC. You feel like you're better than everyone else😄😁
I love all of your vids gang
U must b a black male?😂
Okay...I'm not sure if people will listen to my comment and I want to preface it by saying that I am not even remotely pro-NK. But having said that.....I seriously struggle to believe these defectors sometimes. It has been completely proven false that everyone in North Korea has to get a haircut like Kim Jong Un, it began from a website named "Radio Free Asia" and was actually intended to be satire originally but mainstream media took it seriously. If you look at any videos from North Korea, you'll see that nobody has the Kim Jong Un haircut. It is completely fake news.
I was a little shocked when the defectors in this video parroted that fake news. I don't really blame them, they've been through a lot and the writers of this show probably just told them to say that. I'm sure a lot of what they say is true, but they are definitely told to exaggerate sometimes and this video essentially proves that.
I just discovered you. 😊
Kim Jong kook. He is my favorite K-pop artist. I love Turbo. I had no idea he was from N Korea 😉
North Korea is the worst place to live in the world. Poor people!
