i did find a part of the story about the Joint Korean
industrial zone to be really interesting.
Huge numbers of workers enter the
zone from North Korean to work in factories designed, financed & managed by
South Koreans. For the North Korean
workers, working or residing in buildings with indoor plumbing, electricity and
telephones was described as totally unfamiliar…extremely far from what life is
like back home. Assuming that is true,
imagine what the impact on those workers would have when they returned home at
night, quietly spreading information like that to other North Korean people. How destabilizing would that become over
time?
There may be more potential for some sort of political unrest
& regime change than we can know, but since their system has no process for
transferring leadership other than thru this god-like family dynasty sham… (and
that gambit is so completely counter to communist doctrine that you would have to
assume there are even North Korean communists who are offended by it, not to
mention a populace who don’t want to
starve to death). if the young leader
is worried about the stability of his regime, i wonder if that could explain why
his actions seem erratic & even bizarre…..
