I spent a few days in an industrial city in Czechoslovakia in what is now Slovakia) in October 1982. I remember it was October because there were posters celebrating Marx and Lenin all over the place plust the odd poster of Leonid Brehnev (who died about a month later) and the Czech Party boss at the time. I was staying in a tourist hotel and woke up one morning and looked out of the window. It was grey and overcast (that was because of the weather) but the people shuffling along the footpaths to work also looked grey and overcast (like they had one big collective hangover). The place looked liked this picture. Grimy, industrial, depressing, like any industrial city in any country in the world. But the people looked as if they had no hope at all. That for me was the telling point.

I and some friends were driving cross-country a while back (late 60's), and awoke from an unrestful sleep as we drove down into Pittsburgh. The only thought that would come into my head was Dante's Inferno. I dozed off again, and they awakened me at White Castle. Then i knew my instinct had been correct.

They don't know any better. The people who voted for the Bushii admire him in the same manner that the North Koreans admire their own dictators - blindly and uncritically - ie brainwashed.

nah. neither has anything to do with communism. even the staunchest american liberals are far far away from communist ideology. hard to grasp with black and white vision glasses on. you're supposed to be either on a republican right or democratic left, no other option. both are far far far right compared to north korea.
i also highly doubt that people in north korea adore kim jong-il. most people just do what they gotta do to survive, not starve to death, get imprisoned or killed. and those that don't, starve, get imprisoned or killed. and people know that.
