Socialist Utopia in the Extreme

by Clifford F. Thies

Five party bosses have been executed in North Korea, and a sixth committed suicide, The first question in everybody's mind was, of course, who would get their food rations.

According to the World Food Program, as many as 6 million of the 24 million people of North Korea are at risk of starvation. People are emaciated from hunger, susceptible to disease, and routinely resort to cannibalism. Most of the children are so malnourished, that their development has been severely stunted. Their height, their bone formation and their brain capacity are all well below normal.

We haven't seen a disaster the likes of this since Pol Pot's Cambodia, Mao's China, and Stalin's Russia.
