why are they dancing after election?

[X97531X]

There is a difference between our contries and nations like North Korea and China. Here, even back in Soviet you could disapprove and be happy you didn't "accept" the candidates, in North Korea, if you pick up the red pencile to disapprove you get shot in the neck. And of all the "legit" voters, most of the starving people in the country side doesn't count as humans being. if they could vote even North Korea couldn't afford enough bullets to put down all the "dissapprovers"

[blahblahblah8183]

there's no difference between "one-party state" and "multiparty." In a capitalist country, like US or UK, you have single-parties, "The Capitalist party" or "The business Party". there's really no difference here. A socialist country will have socialist candidates, and a capitalist country will have capitalist candidates, and so on with every system. "Pluralism" does NOT exist.

"The candidates are already selected by the Korean Workers Party. And the voters can only accept or disaccept. That doesn't sound like a true democracy."

It isn't. But that's what the US has as well. The Corporate Duopoly Party trots out the candidates that are acceptable to them and allows us to pick one, while blocking attempts by us to nominate candidates from our own ranks.

An example of true democracy would be the Evo Morales victory in Bolivia.

[blasdell1987]

Why don't they just write "All votes for Kim Jong-Il" on that box? And what's up with that stupid gay dance outside the voting place? Stupid propaganda

[DreOdz]

Just as the lady says: The candidates are already selected by the Korean Workers Party. And the voters can only accept or disaccept.

That doesn't sound like a true democracy. And the voters have a wide variety of parties to choose from (three, but only one has real power). All 3 parties are said to be "socialist" parties, but in fact the Chondoist Chongu Party and Korean Social Democratic Party don't have executive power.
