The only escapee of North Koreas most brutal prison camp has lived to tell us a story of unspeakable horror. Starved of food and common humanity, Shin proves that gulags are still a tragic reality. We were always hungry. Shins most vivid memory of his life in the camp is the constant hunger he felt, food made me escape, even if it was going to cost me my life. The only thing that interested me was the food. Before his escape three years ago, he didnt even know that a world existed beyond the barbed wires. Until then, his life had been one of torture, hard labour and complete isolation. My mother was supposed to inform on me and me on her. He believed she deserved her fate as he witnessed her execution. I blamed her. I had no real feelings as a kid. Shin didnt know love, only violence. Once the guards beat a little girl on the head so hard, she died the next day. He eventually escaped through a gap in a high-voltage fence. His charred legs still bear the scars. As horrible as it is, Shins story is not unique. Wang, himself a former prisoner, is a prominent writer on the subject. He believes that oppression in North Korea will keep increasing: The brutality of the system has grown to the point where Kim Jong Il now fears that he will suffer the same fate as Caucescu of Romania. He simply wants to kill all his enemies.

Nice coming from a socialist. No need to be all high and mighty now after the fact that the entire concept of your government system has fallen on its head. What you follow is not Communism, but dictatorship, all done to further the ambitions of a single man. This... is quite a government you have when there is no freedom to say "no". Anarchy is the absence of order, but what exists too here is worse than Anarchy. It is called oppression. Anarchy in Korea would be an improvement.
Hey che guevarra, my mother used to sit in line from fryday to saturday afternoon, cos our dear leader would bring meat only on weekend.We caught him in the corner when communism ended and shoot him.This guy is a criminal, a mafia godfather, not a president.Who does he defend and from what?Do those people want his protection?Nope, but they don't have a choice.
no more things to say... you are really monsters. look what you are defending... and you call yourself "the modern world". anyway it is funny to see how you are dancing with words to deceive yourselves. in every topic we debate, i get more opportunities to see your hypocracy.
yes we did transport slaves to the US. but we also stopped it. we saw it was wrong and ended it. and we the drew borders in africa. as a result of that different tribes had to live in the same country and fought each other. millions died. but we didn't support the africans to fight each other, we tried to help them. and they started to fight each other, they could have chosen not to. plus that african dictators, murdered a lot of people aswell.
trying to assassinate fidel castro wouldn't really be that bad. Diem fucked up and it wasn't the reason why the americans invated vietnam. and i am not american. if there is someone to blame it's not me. I'm Dutch. the US helped saddam just like they helped bin laden. the enemy of my enemy is my friend. for some time. and people in africa died not just because of imperialism.
