70 years is an entire lifetime. North Korea has survived longer than that even.
Dystopias will all eventually fall. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be replaced with something better.
- cheschire 5y agoWas North Korea a dystopia for the entire 70 years or did they at least have a few good decades? Really asking.
- deaddodo 5y agoI mean, I’m not going to write up a whole diatribe on the topic, but yeah; Kim Il-sung was pretty tyrannical from the outset. You can say it got really bad under Kim Jong-Il, but it was never “good”.

- unnouinceput 5y agoCommunism in North Korea started after WW2, so it has 75+ (three quarters of a century - 1946 to today), while communism started in Russia after WW1, but, at least officially, ended with fall of USSR in 1991 - so in there it was for 70+ years (1918 to 1991).
