If you take the reality of the situation instead of the claims of the officials, then there has never been a communist country in the world and certainly not in NK.
- kevinpet 14y agoThe same can be said of a free market, but that shouldn't stop us from comparing mostly free market economies with mostly communist economies.
- jhuni 14y agoThere has never been anything close to a communist economy. Communism means there are such advanced productive forces and automation technology that there is no antithesis between mental and physical labor: In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly -- only then then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs! - comrade Karl Marx
