The problem of evil must not be overlooked or brushed away when arguing for single-ruler systems.

See the brush? Memories of the old mandarinate bureaucracy.

It’s hard enough to know anything about North Korea, but people always do the same mistake: take things at face value, and only focus in what they’re already familiar with. Of course it’s easy to say that NK is Marxist, everybody knows about Marx. But nobody knows shit about what Korea was about for thousands of years earlier. So it’s all about Marx and Lenin. And Stalin too.

And anyway the Kims have neither the capability nor any interest in being Lee Kuan Yew. People seem to have a hard time understanding that there’s evil people out there, who don’t give a shit about the wealth of their people, and are happy as long as they can be the top dog.
