- nickpp 5y agoAlso he lived his first 38 years under the Soviets, working in one of their most emblematic institutions, the KGB. He is not only a product of the inhumane ideology that drove the USSR, he embodies it. You can see it in his disregard of human life, in his placing of the crushing powers of the state over individual freedoms. It's also the ideology of the PRC, and NK indeed. It's simple: communism needs dictatorship to survive and it attracts and enables the most powerful dictators: madmen and psychopaths.
