Okay, to you and others questioning the motives of defectors on fiduciary grounds, remember that defecting is a high crime in North Korea, and a difficult task.

Okay, to you and others questioning the motives of defectors on fiduciary grounds, remember that defecting is a high crime in North Korea, and a difficult task. Most defectors don't attempt to simply rush the North-South border, because it is highly patrolled and likely to get you shot at by the North side. Instead they take an arduous trip through China, avoiding Chinese authorities who will deport them back to North Korea if caught. The families of defectors become social pariahs back home, if not worse. Defection is literally a life-risking act, and not only for the defectors. So defectors have to be extremely motivated to take the risks they do, and such people tend to have a story, yes; perhaps they make parts of them up, but I don't think most of them would really need to. At any rate, avoiding the country becoming like North Korea, or avoiding normalized relations or acceptance of the Nork regime, isn't really a goal of most libertarians, in the sense that such things are already far from happening in the first place.
