    only north korea isn’t working (but it’s not because of the communism ofc, it’s… something completely else, okay? and it isn’t teh rEaL cOmMuNiSm™ anyways, because that would’ve definitely worked)

      Tbf South Korea has plenty of economic, demographic, and social problems as well. Still miles better than North, but saying that only the North doesn’t work is not really accurate.

        of course south korea has problems as well, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. but I think one can objectively state that the north doesn’t work, no matter which metric you choose to measure its “success” with. the contrast between those countries is too stark

          A country competing with Japan for the highest suicide rate cant be described as working for a lot of its inhabitants.
