The reason DPRK is a "shithole" now is because the burger empire has been choking off their trade since USSR collapsed. The standard of living back in Soviet days war fairly high, and the economic growth there was solid. The very fact that DPRK managed to keep cohesion and make it through a hard period of sanctions shows that the system fundamentally works. Meanwhile, occupied Korea has no excuse for being a shithole.
Sorry, no. It's a shithole because they funnel all of their excess to 1 family and those who the family deems worthy.
They've had more than enough opportunity to fix things themselves, but they routinely choose not to.
The fact that you don't understand how embargoes hurt the economy clearly shows that your opinion can be safely discarded.

But hey, if North Korea is so good, then why are north koreans killed for trying to leave? Lol.
How to say you're completely ignorant of the subject you're opining on without saying it directly.
