I think it'll be real interesting if "Communist" nations actually win.
They're way more unified and cohesive than capitalist ones.
North Korea is of course, a shithole, but so is south korea by many standards. At least North Koreans are unified, though. They can work together towards a common goal. Everyone in capitalist nations is just looking out for themselves and their wallets.
See how quickly the West folded when Ukraine started losing? North Korea didn't fold when Russia was having trouble.
As soon as the going gets tough, they scatter like roaches.
The reason DPRK is a "shithole" now is because the burger empire has been choking off their trade since USSR collapsed. The standard of living back in Soviet days war fairly high, and the economic growth there was solid. The very fact that DPRK managed to keep cohesion and make it through a hard period of sanctions shows that the system fundamentally works. Meanwhile, occupied Korea has no excuse for being a shithole.
Sorry, no. It's a shithole because they funnel all of their excess to 1 family and those who the family deems worthy.
They've had more than enough opportunity to fix things themselves, but they routinely choose not to.
The fact that you don't understand how embargoes hurt the economy clearly shows that your opinion can be safely discarded.

But hey, if North Korea is so good, then why are north koreans killed for trying to leave? Lol.
How to say you're completely ignorant of the subject you're opining on without saying it directly.
Thanks for showing how little your opinion should be respected! ☺️
Yep. Just ignore everything you don't like.
In other words. Highly capitalistic people who own the country manage to unify for a common goal agains countries where noone owns everything.
^ Describing capitalist countries
Workers do own the means of production though under socialism through the state that prioritizes them over capitalists.
Well, it doesn't matter their intention. One person owns everything and can always change his mind, which would not be possible compared to other countries that are somewhat seen as capitalistic.
I am unsure about america as america is a huge mess and is just the worst.
Man it must suck to "own nothing" from the comfort of their own house and food on the table.
Sucks when the gov doesnt like you and just decides to kick you out, because you dont own anything in "communistic" countries compared to "democratic" or highly capitalistic countries... wait, I dont think you own your own house either in america compared to EU countries. Additionally some EU countries give you high safety and home when you lose everything.
USA has Eminent domain, so yes, neither the Chinese nor the Americans actually own their houses.
But when one has an insanely high homelessness population, you really have to ask yourself which you would prefer.
Both are high afaik.
So the answer is neither. There are more countries that are far more superior.
Its also stupid to question if I want a bad country-1 or bad country-2. Why do I need to decide between two of the worst countries? Why can't I look for something far and obviously better? Just because they are the loudest or are looking like the complete opposite?
Its like questioning if someone wants the red hell or the yellow hell. Why do I want to have a hell at all?
China 89.68% home ownership
China 2,579,000 homeless (0.18%)
United States 65.9% home ownership
United States 653,104 homeless (0.19%)
