Thanks for the link. I’ve read a bit about N. Korea over the last 3 or 4 years (there isn’t a lot out there…) and I’d recommend The Cleanest Race as an interesting look at propaganda as well as his recommendation of Nothing to Envy.

It is my understanding that the N. Koreans are, in fact, learning a lot about the outside world as technology slowly leaks in-and even if they do believe they’re carrying the torch of moral superiority and all, they’re reaching the point where they’d be happy to trade that superiority for more food. Kim Jung Un may have a tough (and brief) road ahead.
