Yeah. They would find it hilarious that the meme this was based on thinks that North Korea is a bastion of freedom.
Unironically better urban planning there than anywhere in Burgerland
Ok. I'm sure citizens in the gulag care how good the zoning committee is.
Ignoring how funny it is to use the russian word for prison in Korea, in America you get gulag and no urban planning
So you agree both the US and North Korea prison systems need reform.
Where'd I say the DPRK needs prison reform? Hard to assert such a thing without knowing it's actual conditions.
"Without knowing it's actual conditions"
Exactly, there is no freedom of the press there, ya know, like an autocracy.
"They have no freedom there because my rulers told me so"
What does "freedom of the press" mean here in
? Is it a freedom enjoyed by you or I or any other common person, has it ever been?
The answer to these questions is no, the freedom of the press is freedom only for those who own the printing presses and that freedom is the freedom to use the press as a megaphone for views and ideas that help them and those in the same class
It always goes back to the material conditions and who owns the means of production
