    You don't need centralised herding of disabled people to make them invisible. All you need is a culture where disability is shameful and embarrassing. I don't know if that's the case in North Korea, just saying.

    True, but it doesn't bode well for the care or respect they are given. The handicapped guy in the above documentary was quite disturbed that people were nice to him, whilst sensing their disgust and revulsion.

    Considering that even lunatic theocratic-military regimes limit defense expediture to around ten percent, North Korea is really completely off the scale. North Korea is completely militarised, mobilised. It is run by the logic of the military and a siege mentality.
    Very ineffectively of course.

    The extent the North Koreans have been "militarized" is frankly, ridiculous. Their highways are designed wide enough for bombers to land on.

    But their actual forces are terribly antiquated and poorly led and run. Their navy is total ****, seemingly incapable of cleaning after themselves.

    Kim-Jong Il is a flipping idiot he could be so powerful as he can basically dictate his peoples culture and ideas but he squanders that ability through i dont know, stupidity, paranoia? Either way thanks to IL a potentially powerful communist nation is instead one of the poorest and one of the best examples for the failure of communism

    by the way alh_p what is that avatar called i got this one for a game but i really wanna switch now and yours looks awesome.

    Potential? North Korea was only powerful with Soviet subsidies.
