  • i’m actually still learning about north korea as i took interest in it very recently, but i can say a couple of things:

    yes, not unlike cuba, they suffer from the blockade and lack of sufficient land. because of that, they used to very heavily rely on the ussr for food and trade, and when it died, their food distribution collapsed for a few years.

    though something that’s not talked about enough is how they built their country atop of ashes and a lot preexisting hunger after the korean war and major bombings by the us. this one is a hurdle most socialist countries have to deal with.

    that’s not to say communists generally think north korea it’s perfect or else.

    i can’t tell you in good faith about their modern internal policy, or the veracity of modern hunger claims because i simply don’t know enough about it yet.
