poor people...North Korea people live in virtual isolation from the outside world,how about their living?
As you (should have) learned with Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed, we cannot *give* people a democratic form of government.


In order for a people to appreciate freedom they have to earn it themselves. We here in America have been ruled by a powerful government for so long that we've collectively forgotten this simple truth.





The people of North Korea, like the people of the USA, will have to live under the yoke of tyranny until THEY decide they've had enough.





Edit: Only those people who have never lived under Communism/collectivism or had any relatives who lived under that particular type of regime would tout the ';benefits'; of such a system. Suffering is no less painful with the knowledge that almost everyone else is suffering equally.North Korea people live in virtual isolation from the outside world,how about their living?
It depends on where they are in society.





The ones who work in tourism or for the government are well-cared for. Others probably have to fend for themselves. They're kept isolated from the world, and the world is kept away from them.





When I visited North Korea, the only people we saw were the tour guides and the people who worked in the hotel and complex. They all looked pretty good (cute, wearing nice little uniforms, cheerful, etc). It was pretty hard to see anyone else. There are big chain-link fences with barbed wire across the top along most roads. We saw some people doing laundry in the river several hundred yards up, and the tops of houses.





I don't think anyone is starving to death or totally homeless. I am reasonably sure that everyone is kept alive at least, whether by the government or their relatives/community I can't say.





One of the benefits of communism and socialism is that people don't slip through the cracks like they do in capitalism. You have less of a chance of making it to the top of the socioeconomic totem pole, yes. But you also aren't going to wind up losing everything if you hit a bad spot. There's a safety net.





I'm also going to guess that North Korea has a more communistic culture (as opposed to individualistic... I'm not talking economics anymore). That is, people are more likely to take responsibility for one another. The group is more important than the individual. Rather than one person trying to rise above, it's important to keep everyone afloat. It's common in Eastern cultures.
Unfortunately, we can't save the world.
