Love WD. I really enjoy the comics and comparing them as the story goes along, fun show.
Kim Jong Il Dead
-
Few weeks ago my Korean language and history Professor said something interesting during his lesson: He thinks North Korea dictatorship is possible because an after-war scenario would see Korea re-unified and in the sovereign of South Korea. Now let’s see what happens after the charismatic leader died.
I think China will try to annex North Korea without a war.China would not do that. That would be like us taking over Etheopia. Ya, we could do - but why would we? North Korea brings nothing to the table, on the contrary China would have to build that country. And while China’s economy is doing great, thier people still live in squalor (but still 1000x better than North Koreans - pretty bad when a step up is living is getting to China’s level).

China has been running north Korea for years. they are all communists.
-
No more than we run Mexico. Just because their economy is dependant on China doesn’t mean China runs it. (we get the better end out of that comparison - at least Mexico has oil).

No they’re not.
Neither as all Americans are republicans, or they all are Democrats. -
China’s a capitalist dictatorship.

America is a capitalist dictatorship.

And so East meets West, beautiful isn’t it? ;)
Funfact edit: Christopher Hitchens (recently RIP) called North Korea the only “necrocracy” in the world, a country governed by a dead leader (Kim Il Sung)

I think the US is a Capitolist Oligarchy moving toward a Socialist Oligarchy very quickly.

the walton family might disagree with the socialist part but more than likely agree to the oligarchy whatever their title may be

3 bloody pages of people trashing Kim Jong-il after the fact (as he is very much dead at this point) yet not even one full page to commemorate the life of Vaclav Havel, what sad statment that it……

Too political closed.
