That is the "beautiful" side of PDRK. the other 90% lives in fear and under totalitarian control. Read the "Aquariums of Pyong Yang" by Kang Chol Hwan and the "Eyes of the Tailless animals" by Lee Soon Ok (see wikipedia for pages on both books) for an alternative look at the last stalinist state in the World

[motorniczy7777]

look what communists can do with country and people.Its lesson for you.

[longernesto]

Впечатлающий и грандиозный по своим масштабам... СОВОК.

[Jiannamarie1]

I guess we are used to seeing obesity in USA so of course they look manourished no offense to anyone who is overweight...and why judge because they have older vehicles or houses..people are so superficial

[theholyrevenger]

I bet they dont know anything about video game or its existent

[vjanov]

for those who really like it - go and live there, we'll see if you'll like it after that! It's shamefull how people easily underestimate the gift of the freedom - possibility to express the ideas, to worship, to travel, to become anybody they want...my parents generation lived in that system and fought against it, so please, try to understand what this system is really about, or at least watch some movies from that era...this sick and unnatural system doesn''t even worth to be compared with!

[vjanov]

there's no good way of communism, if an economy is planned and not based on the free market with the minimum state influence, this will always leed to something like this....

@chemerich: thanks to capitalism you can write this message on your (probably) mac...i would really like to give you a chance to live in any kind of communism/socialism system. But i do understand, some people are missing the historical, economical and social context of our times.

[21boxhead]

NK is Hoxhaist government meaning there isolationist this is bad way of communism

[MegaLkb]

the last image is really beautiful.

[aliraufyurur]

this is not communism! This is only pharoahinism!

[chemerich]

Long live communism, death to capitalism and multiculturalism

[Tihbialdunav]

@chemerich , you are saying long live concentration camps , torture and medical experiments? Move to NK, please, then talk.

[TonusAMaximus]

@supercoolguy4000 Yeah, it's a model show city... it should be cleaner and more presentable than most cities in the world...

[TheLostProphecies]

@supercoolguy4000 Detroit is not a frickin' ghost town...

[roxan22bq]

This is poverty, . . and desperation..

[xllxist]

I imagine if you go there you will feel like you came back in time.. 1960's 1970's

[nanonotable]

@xllxist well so if you go in the fuckhole of africa you will feel in like in the 1800's and in iran you will feel the same and most of the 3rd world countries ..

at least they stay quiet and they dont make too much noise and dont try to take the entire world even if they pretend .

[Jerryjeffelvis]

The truck at 1:40 looks like its from the 50's is so old it has a hand crank on the front to start truck, plus 1 new shiny coat of paint. Even some of the military look so thin their uniforms are hanging on bones, when they see fatty mcfat jung they really think yummy I bet fatty-ass taste like chicken! people of N. K. unite eat your leader, we are with you, we will give you ranch dressing- here's some hope!

[SinhCung]

[hejdiklump]

@SinhCung u will change your mind soon..

[pavoSNK]

it's a fucking youtube so post a fucking video not a slideshow !

[THEGAME1917]

@supercoolguy4000 You act as if it's hard to look better than Detroit.

[Haxor1021]

Life there is like a Truman Show film

[cocoo222]

better then capitalism

[thesomebody3]

what is the korean popullation like 30000 is all i can imagine

[3Gbroadcast]

People need more comfort. But having a city without car, as Pyong Yang looks like, is definitly a comfort. Everywhere else in the world, pedestrian are an ignored minority. Not even a 10th of our cities is car-free.

[gkyy3c]

@3Gbroadcast communists always live close to their jobs

[SalwanMax13]

I don't think these people are alive, they look like ghosts in a ghost city

[rb2112002]

@supercoolguy4000 The inside of a sewage treatment plant looks nicer than detroit--lol

[Eddyisrich403]

We need C-130s and a shitload airdrop of democricy

[tenapus]

robots

[Machammerballs]

At least they don't have to hear this God awful douche bag music. The singer isn't wearing a shirt, has scraggly hair, and a scruffy beard. To quote Annie Hall, "He's neat looking."

[hobooncouch567]

i feel so bad for them... they can't even wear what they want freely. like in south korea you see people in bright clothing everywhere

[99mikiso]

A great movie. We in Poland 30 years ago also had communism

[AtheismCentral]

heh heh I have more views than you

[leukat11]

No information - and no web of course - so nothing to compare for the people of this damn country ...

[pnoozi]

I wonder how much longer until the people revolt. the government in N Korea seems really good at dissuading people from organizing. this is probably the primary reason there hasn't been an uprising.

[YBTHAROCKSTAR88]

@pnoozi problem is that there is such a lack of outside information that most people who are citizens of the DPRK have no idea how brainwashed their society has become.

[cbohar84]

This whole country is a decaying relic of times long past

[ElenaXVI]

@cbohar84 Well aren't you smart.

[cbohar84]

@ElenaXVI Am I supposed to be flattered XD

[Cloudsheikh]

@cbohar84 and some are a decaying relic of the present ...

[jsnovais1000]

...the good ones (pictures) were thrown into the garbage can!...

—Anyway, pictures as grimy as these, can be taken by the millions, in less half an hour in Manhattan area, USA...

[rugbydazz]

@jsnovais1000 not to mention Newark, Baltimore, DC, Chicago, the whole of Ohio.

[Kennyiavh]

Really raw pictures of the country...HOW did the photographer get these pictures? I've checked on tours of the DRPK, and it says not to take pictures of "poverty."
