"What life looks like inside North Korea"

32. I agree KJU is done for but not who will do it.

(KJU = Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea.)

A people's revolution will only work if the ruling faction agrees to let it work. Consider East Germany and Poland, where negotiations between the party and the people led to the downfall of the party. North Korea is different. The closest real-world analog to the DPRK is Romania under Nicolae and Elena Ceaucescu, but that's not really accurate because Ceaucescu was nowhere near as bad as KJU.

The most comparable environment to North Korea under KJU is The Hunger Games' Panem under President Snow. I look at all the mass executions he has held in his reign and think the man is both capable of and evil enough to herd his foes into a sports stadium, block all the exits so no one gets out, and demolish the stadium with aerial bombardment or artillery fire.

Like Romania, the only way to topple KJU is to turn the army against him. This is very possible - KJU has whacked several generals, so the army is not on his side.
