I'm not sure Karl Marx or Lenin would have anticipated the emergence of a hereditary Communist monarchy, but that is exactly what has emerged in North Korea. The cult of personality. The massive brainwashing. Party elites living high, others starving. I don't see why the PRC and Russia keep supporting that dangerous state. North Korea no longer serves any strategic purpose, such as maintaining a prickly balance of power against the U.S. and Japan. Russia's and the PRC's strategic interests no longer flow through PyongYang, but rather through the international trading routes of the world. It is time for parties on all sides to cooperate to help this silly and anachronistic little Asian group of boot-strappers to retire from the scene. Back off from the 1950s style Communist rhetoric and propaganda, relax, and build golf courses and condominiums. "Chill" as they say.....
