N. Korean film about Western Propaganda -- Makes valid points

[Lars77]

5. This is kind of absurd

In a way they are spot on, especially that people are lured into conspicuous consumption on credit, so that the banks make more money. This ensures that people are distracted from resisting the neoliberalist agenda.

This is the chief reason, i think, that neoliberal governments such as in the UK and Quebec are upping the tuition fees by huge margins. Make sure students are encumbered with debts, and they wont have time to resist once they are done with their studies.
And the people who still resist the neoliberal agenda, such as occupy, are being put under surveillance and physically attacked when they protest too much.

However, the irony of this film is that they are showing people protesting their governments and basically says that it does not work because its not true democracy, so the protestors are unable to bring about change.
In North Korea, if you dare protest the govenrment, you are put in a hard labour concentration camp, separated from your loved ones, and your family will be punished three generations. Your siblings families, your cousins families, your children and their families if they have some, your parents, grandparents, everyone will be put to hard labor until they die of starvation, disease or are executed because a sadistic guard was bored, until your entire bloodline is gone. This is because Kim Il Sung believed that treason was in the blood.

To quote Winston Chuchill: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that has been tried".

I´ll take my chances in the somewhat free world


PS: I recommend everyone read "Escape from Camp 14". About the only person to escape a maximum security labor camp in North Korea.
