Wouldn't it really be The Empire of North Korea, since Kim Jung IL is now the emporer?
Or The Fourth Reich with the Furor?
Or Kimjung Caesar?

Michael Merrit made a point that makes the conversation around the coffee table as of late.
China is becoming an authoritarian capitalist society. That's true.

Even our beloved nation is changing from a beacon of freedom on the hill, to another European socialist nation.

hehehe

There is something to be said about that, Leonidas. It seems a lot of the countries that once held straight-arrow communist ideologies are changing. North Korea has been more a totalitarian monarchy than communist for a long time.

Then you look at China, which is increasingly developing into an authoritarian capitalist society.

Even Russia is backtracking in a more authoritarian route than a communist one.

Since when has North Korea been a communist state? Its a monarchy.

Wasn't the Soviet constitution full of moving, high-minded prose? (Never mind words matching deeds.)

North Korea abandons communism? Does this mean Kim Jong Il will start selling pornography instead of hoarding it all for himself?

Erin go braugh!

jazz
You got the headline wrong, it should read

"N Korea abandons rational thought"

but that's an old, old story.
