"who the fuck cares for "investors"?" People who want a non-shitty economy so they can, you know, eat?

  Wrong and out of context. See my complete question, not the butchered part you quote.

    Huh? What do you think people would choose, not having a dictator and having a government they chose, or having something to eat? I'm not saying that North Koreans are enviable or that dictators are right, it's just that it's easy to make off-the-cuff judgements over people who have to trade off today's reality of having a crying baby because there is no food versus an abstract ideal life with benevolent, competent leaders and ponies dancing under rainbows. I'm not saying it's right, but I can imagine why some people in Russia long for the days of socialism.

      >Huh? What do you think people would choose, not having a dictator and having a government they chose, or having something to eat? I don't have to think about it personally, we have history to tell us. People risk their LIVES to get rid of dictators -- compared to that their economy (or even food) is of little importance.
