As if Koreans just forgot what the US did to their country immediately after they won their liberation from imperialist oppression and regression at the hands of Japanese colonialism? They had no choice but to increase their nuclear supply, and the US knew and understood that very well. That's the whole point of the US policy towards North Korea, to force them into stagnation, starve them out by threatening them with "fire and fury like no one has seen before".

Space Jazz North Korea never thrived. It was economic stimulation from USSR. Being from Russia, I can tell you that Moscow had everything but other soviet cities did not. My grandmother was renovating her flat. In a city of more then 1 million people at the time, she could not get wall paper or furniture. She had to take a 4 hour ride to Moscow via train. What I mean is that there beautiful buildings and vast products are all a illusion. Due to the fact that all of the success of the country only went into the showcase capitols and not staying in there cities improving lives and living standards.

@Evilfisher2 I keep seeing this point brought over and over again. Weird how you people keep forgetting that China does trade with North Korea regardless of the sanctions. Awfully weird how you ignore the government's spending on needless construction in Pyongyang, Ski Resorts and other stuff instead of buying factory equipment from China. If you use the Juche ideology as an excuse, then let's not forget that they didn't have any issues getting stuff from the Soviet Union. I have seen a lot of material regarding North Korea, and comments such as yours are irritating. I can link you actual footage of places outside the capital. The part where the government is supposed to provide stuff has fallen apart so badly, that it's forced to tolerate a form of a free market where people do and sell things themselves. And people really are starving. I could provide more observations and backup all of my claims, but first I want to see yours response.
@Evilfisher2 I saw your response - " yes we break sanctions, cry about it". I don't know if you or youtube deleted it, but I include it here for context. You misunderstood my point. I didn't mean that it was wrong for China and North Korea to ignore the sanctions, far from it. I am against the USA imposing sanctions on a country. I am even less fond of the entire world following the orders of the USA. I don't take issue with China and North Korea trading. What I take issue with is the weird factor of China being the second biggest economy in the world and yet North Korea barely gets anything from it. I asked another pro North Korean channel why that is and in reponse they said that China followed USA sanctions at some points which is very weird. Either China or the DPRK wants to keep the situation in North Korea as it is. It's hard to say who's to blame, but China following USA sanctions definitely raises a red flag. Progress is happening in North Korea, but at a much much slower pace than it could if it were to take full advantage of its relationship with China. That's why I'm hesitant to support the North Korean government despite giving it the absolute benefit of the doubt. If you can engliten me on this issue further, I would be greatful. I might have been a bit rude in my initial comment, for which I apologize. I just see the same point about the USA sanctions made over and over again while blatantly ignoring the trade with China which should have improved the situation in the country much more than it does.
oh sweet Jesus. all the comments equating Bernie Sanders to North Korean Juche political philosophy. um, sweety, you do realise that Sanders was a (rather tepid) kinda sorta weak tea Nordic Model "Democratic Socialist" diametrically opposite of Juche ideology. Read any reputable political compass. Democratic Socialism represents the right wing of Socialism, if it even counts as Socialism at all. o h - y e a h - if you paid any attention whatsoever to the US elections in 2016, you'll note that Sanders took a super hardline against the DPRK, on this issue he was more Republican than the bloody Republicans. so no, I doubt Sanders derived any inspiration from the North Korean Juche political ideology. Research, mates. it's rather necessary to do that if you want your opinions on current events to be taken seriously. Look, I'm obviously Not a US Republican. (I'm a Republican in other senses of the word, but let's not spiral into tangents.) Ok look. Some of my best friends are US Republicans. I respect their opinions even though I disagree vehemently. And you know what, mates? They positively HATE people like you. Why? Because you're ignorant jackanapes and you're making all the evidence-based pragmatic US Republicans look like radge shite. You're not helping them win. Sure, Trump squeaked by in the election, thanks to you, but what are his chances of winning again? yeah, I know. so I'll probably never be able to convince you to abandon conservatism, but sources of intelligent (well, comparatively intelligent) sources of US conservatism exist. Read the National Review. Try Pat Buchanan's American Conservative magazine. Get acquainted with Dr Ron Paul. there are easy options to hone your rhetorical sophistication. i mean, I disagree with literally everything the above mentioned media sources listed above totally, but at least they represent arguments that don't fall apart like stale bread in a bucket of water. you owe this horrid fallen world at least that much. The Pepe Clique is an absolute plague on US conservatism, but hey, in a way this is good for people like me, as you're basically doing our work for us, by being repulsive and therefore making Leftism look comparatively attractive. thanks, I guess. addendum: yes, obviously the DPRK is Not an ideal country. Given the pressures they exist under how could they be? of course, they've made grievous errors. the black market situation is worrying. Kidnapping those poor Japanese people was totally gross. I could go on. but honestly, the headstrong bravery and resilience they've shown in the face of economic warfare, loss of allies, and natural disaster is heroic and inspiring, and a shining example to the world, flaws and all. also, your idol Trump recently said he and Kim "are in love" so yeah, mate, how do you feel now? eventually you lot are going to have to put childish things aside and become adults like the rest of us. it's not that hard. and Inshallah, I sincerely hope the renewed Sunshine Policy 2.0 between Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in continues apace. if you want the world to eventually get better, surely you must agree with me on this point.
This is the video most North Koreans saw living in Japan to get them to return home. 3 ships took them back to North Korea only to find out they were lied to. Children were starving and dying in front of them. Shame on you North Korea.
George Orwell collaborated on writing the script for this film. Only he didn't realise. Now we all know the real ending, not the boot in the face forever. But the epilogue dictionary explaining that it didn't last forever. 500 possible enemies of KimJongUn were executed, maybe some are seen jolly in pigs riches in this film! Shame communism is an ideal that had always appealed to vicious thugs creating a cult. Makes it harder to reunite but it will happen. There is no water in those taps even for the elite. Winter is cold for everyone. And farmers live a hard primitive life. They are still able to enjoy family and friends and dance for fun as any human must.

+Marks mediaTV How is it "polishing the facade" when they were once thriving? The Western world depends on foreign aid and alliances as much as the Communist nations did.
Space Jazz North Korea never thrived. It was economic stimulation from USSR. Being from Russia, I can tell you that Moscow had everything but other soviet cities did not. My grandmother was renovating her flat. In a city of more then 1 million people at the time, she could not get wall paper or furniture. She had to take a 4 hour ride to Moscow via train.
What I mean is that there beautiful buildings and vast products are all a illusion. Due to the fact that all of the success of the country only went into the showcase capitols and not staying in there cities improving lives and living standards.
+Marks mediaTV
Being from a country must automatically make you a fucking expert, amiright?
Except it does not.
DPRK never thrived? I like how all the evidence you presented is so strong and vibrant.
You do a lot of talking kid, but no walking. Present the evidence, or get out.
***** Lol, then what makes you more knowable? Just because you read propaganda
of the party mouth? Also how can we get information out of a country where EVERY tourist is still given a handler?
+Space Jazz - Wrong. You apparently don't understand Communismor why it existed at all.
The first part of the music sounds like "Amazing Grace."
The song is "Shining Fatherland" or "Brilliant Fatherland".
Great film comrade
Korea (DPRK) is beautiful !!!
01:53....the mighty Ryugyong and the epic skyline. It is a special place
🇰🇵
14:19 sony??? what a....
1:05 Nearly 30 years on, that pyramid-appearing structure under construction, the Ryugyong Hotel, is reportedly still unoccupied.
Is that soundtrack available on Amazon or iTunes?
I hope. btw the song near the end is called "My Country Is The Best" but there's also a rare instrumental that's basically impossible to find on the internet.
It was then Kim Jong Il took power and tore it apart. Hopefully Kim Jong Un won't make the mistakes of his father.
if this was filmed in 1992, then it was around the same time north Korea was suffering from a great famine.
Wasn't that around 95',96' when its really begins?
Brat_B_2094 by 1995 and 1996 they were already in the midst of the famine.
Every socialist country suffers from famine because socialism causes it.
+FrecklyCash5959 yep just like when Canada had all those people die from from starvation and malnutrition ..... oh wait that didn't happen at all did it?
wtf are you talking about?, I think you're confusing socialism for communism.
also North Korea isn't a communist country, it's a totalitarian dictatorship, masked in a cult of personality around one family.
SofaKingWeTodEd666 Yet it follows all of the requirements of being communist in Marx's 10 planks.
"The government buys from the farmers at a high price, then sells to the people at a low price" derrrrr buy high, sell low? Sounds like they've pretty much got market economics figured out
Lmao spot on😂😜😂😜😂😂
@@imenotyouimenotyou4253 it's a planned economy not a market economy.

geez I wished I have an apartment like that lol xD
State sponsors this and state sponsors that.Where does state get the money from?
Illegal trade and they have work camps in Russia and probably middle east. 90% of workers earnings goes to the government.

What is the incentive to work hard if everyone is the same? However, it's perfect for the lazy people.
Even the birds and trees are well trained.
+GrimFrostbitton Northenlands Well said. You certainly know what the differences are between capitalism and socialism.
+Scott Amon Kim il Sung stated along with all Marxists Leninist leaders Stated "food for those who work" Capitalist propaganda always states that BS about people being lazy and everything is given away
@@1fransiscofranco The difference is under socialism you don't have to work yourself to near death just to afford a shitty apartment. You will most likely have all the basic necessities provided for you, but you'd have to work harder to afford pleasures such as a trip to another country or something like that.
so you need to have an impeding constant threat of homelessness to work? that’s your “incentive”?
and then URSS collapse, famine, arduous march and who are the only fatty ones?
Great Country without private cars... 🤔🤣🤣🤣👍
thank you for your video in English , that is 15 years ago/year of 1992
All right, only Not 15 years Ago, But 25 years Ago. ( 1992 + 25 year = 2017 year)
What's the name of the song starting at around 2:30?
Ska du ta och skita i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jikarpert
Sluta nu
Its called fook you too
The best news is that not only does the U.S. allow anyone to leave and relinquish their citizenship, but also that that DPRK is happy to take those folks in! No need to suffer through our rotten country and our imperial capitalism!!
You must be joking.
😂😂😂
@@imenotyouimenotyou4253 Shhh man I think hes trying to convince some of our commie trash to go elsewhere
DPRK doesn't want anyone other than ethnic Koreans migrating there.

04:06 Creepy. I see a face in that window.

Punk ass bitch
The basic needs are free of charge and there are no taxes, so where you can get money to provide all of these gratis?
Wasn't NK suffering a huge famine in the 90's?
After this, 1994 (or just 10 years after 1984 or 3 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but before the sanction by a few more years)
She was given 150 pieces of flesh (((D: @17:37
One year before the downfall
North Korean space shuttle at 10:29 that's awesome
For the peeeepul !

I hope the country shall be unite if it doesn't divide the whole part of korea even the northernmost!!!corner
The US imperialists divided it.
Where can I find the song which starts at 30:15? Is that Moranbong band?
Cindy075 my country is the best (네 나라 제일로 좋아)
It is called "My Country Is The Best" but it includes a rare instrumental version that I can't find anywhere.

Bullshit!
an interesting documentary about dpr Korea
"Documentary", yeah...
"all people in our country has the right to be supplied with food without his life"
6 years later-massive famine wipes out millions of Koreans
North Korea. Best Korea
@Evilfisher2 And Yugoslavia.
@Evilfisher2 I keep seeing this point brought over and over again. Weird how you people keep forgetting that China does trade with North Korea regardless of the sanctions. Awfully weird how you ignore the government's spending on needless construction in Pyongyang, Ski Resorts and other stuff instead of buying factory equipment from China. If you use the Juche ideology as an excuse, then let's not forget that they didn't have any issues getting stuff from the Soviet Union. I have seen a lot of material regarding North Korea, and comments such as yours are irritating. I can link you actual footage of places outside the capital. The part where the government is supposed to provide stuff has fallen apart so badly, that it's forced to tolerate a form of a free market where people do and sell things themselves. And people really are starving. I could provide more observations and backup all of my claims, but first I want to see yours response.
@Evilfisher2 I saw your response - " yes we break sanctions, cry about it". I don't know if you or youtube deleted it, but I include it here for context. You misunderstood my point. I didn't mean that it was wrong for China and North Korea to ignore the sanctions, far from it. I am against the USA imposing sanctions on a country. I am even less fond of the entire world following the orders of the USA. I don't take issue with China and North Korea trading. What I take issue with is the weird factor of China being the second biggest economy in the world and yet North Korea barely gets anything from it. I asked another pro North Korean channel why that is and in reponse they said that China followed USA sanctions at some points which is very weird. Either China or the DPRK wants to keep the situation in North Korea as it is. It's hard to say who's to blame, but China following USA sanctions definitely raises a red flag. Progress is happening in North Korea, but at a much much slower pace than it could if it were to take full advantage of its relationship with China. That's why I'm hesitant to support the North Korean government despite giving it the absolute benefit of the doubt. If you can engliten me on this issue further, I would be greatful. I might have been a bit rude in my initial comment, for which I apologize. I just see the same point about the USA sanctions made over and over again while blatantly ignoring the trade with China which should have improved the situation in the country much more than it does.
North Korea was such a great country until... 1993.
Before the Famine?
Pretty much.
It's still propaganda.
Yeah, but the DPRK effectively recovered in the early 2000's.
this was the time of the great hunger where millions died.
logan The Arduous March didn't start before 1994
1994-1998
And not millions but most probably no more than 500,000

Really? What an idiot.
oh sweet Jesus.
all the comments equating Bernie Sanders to North Korean Juche political philosophy.
um, sweety, you do realise that Sanders was a (rather tepid) kinda sorta weak tea Nordic Model "Democratic Socialist" diametrically opposite of Juche ideology. Read any reputable political compass. Democratic Socialism represents the right wing of Socialism, if it even counts as Socialism at all.
o h - y e a h -
if you paid any attention whatsoever to the US elections in 2016, you'll note that Sanders took a super hardline against the DPRK, on this issue he was more Republican than the bloody Republicans.
so no, I doubt Sanders derived any inspiration from the North Korean Juche political ideology.
Research, mates. it's rather necessary to do that if you want your opinions on current events to be taken seriously.
Look, I'm obviously Not a US Republican. (I'm a Republican in other senses of the word, but let's not spiral into tangents.)
Ok look. Some of my best friends are US Republicans. I respect their opinions even though I disagree vehemently. And you know what, mates? They positively HATE people like you. Why? Because you're ignorant jackanapes and you're making all the evidence-based pragmatic US Republicans look like radge shite. You're not helping them win. Sure, Trump squeaked by in the election, thanks to you, but what are his chances of winning again?
yeah, I know.
so I'll probably never be able to convince you to abandon conservatism, but sources of intelligent (well, comparatively intelligent) sources of US conservatism exist.
Read the National Review.
Try Pat Buchanan's American Conservative magazine. Get acquainted with Dr Ron Paul.
there are easy options to hone your rhetorical sophistication.
i mean, I disagree with literally everything the above mentioned media sources listed above totally, but at least they represent arguments that don't fall apart like stale bread in a bucket of water.
you owe this horrid fallen world at least that much.
The Pepe Clique is an absolute plague on US conservatism, but hey, in a way this is good for people like me, as you're basically doing our work for us, by being repulsive and therefore making Leftism look comparatively attractive.
thanks, I guess.
addendum: yes, obviously the DPRK is Not an ideal country. Given the pressures they exist under how could they be? of course, they've made grievous errors. the black market situation is worrying. Kidnapping those poor Japanese people was totally gross. I could go on.
but honestly, the headstrong bravery and resilience they've shown in the face of economic warfare, loss of allies, and natural disaster is heroic and inspiring, and a shining example to the world, flaws and all.
also, your idol Trump recently said he and Kim "are in love" so yeah, mate, how do you feel now?
eventually you lot are going to have to put childish things aside and become adults like the rest of us. it's not that hard.
and Inshallah, I sincerely hope the renewed Sunshine Policy 2.0 between Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in continues apace.
if you want the world to eventually get better, surely you must agree with me on this point.
Bernie Sanders is not Socialist but a Capitalist who calls to mix US American capitalist(borgoise) system with some Social programms.
@@Rus-bw2oq He's a Social Democrat. Which people get mixed up with Democratic Socialism too often.
I am posting a comment on this video
Franandwood are you sure?
I did too
1961s is Japan Who?
When north korea actually followed the socialist idea.
...than this film shows us the truth.
Rather they follow a free market economy.
Pnice16 I believe the DPRK still does.
It was NK in 1970s with supports from soviet union
And when the Soviet Union was still intact before the Yeltsin coup.
This is the video most North Koreans saw living in Japan to get them to return home. 3 ships took them back to North Korea only to find out they were lied to. Children were starving and dying in front of them. Shame on you North Korea.
So sad reading the comments ..that some few people think thats is true ...OMG
Propaganda 1st class
oh anathere propaganda film
oh North Korea is soooo cool, I never know about such a great country with such happy people wow!!!!! (LOL)
Hahahaha

16:00 120 days and she was cured of her unconsciousness . Holy shit
16:00 she’s already dead
George Orwell collaborated on writing the script for this film. Only he didn't realise. Now we all know the real ending, not the boot in the face forever. But the epilogue dictionary explaining that it didn't last forever. 500 possible enemies of KimJongUn were executed, maybe some are seen jolly in pigs riches in this film! Shame communism is an ideal that had always appealed to vicious thugs creating a cult. Makes it harder to reunite but it will happen. There is no water in those taps even for the elite. Winter is cold for everyone. And farmers live a hard primitive life. They are still able to enjoy family and friends and dance for fun as any human must.
19:40 - "In our country, there is no unemployed man"
Stupid son and stupid father, stupid nation
How many people died because of starvation again ??!!! 🙄
MJAUS.
