The sanctions go back to the war, the famine after the war were due to having most of they buildings destroyed and 20% of their population killed. They restarted after the USSR fell and they lost their biggest trading partner, same story with Cuba.
What’s the alternative story here, that Kim Jong Un eats all the food? That being “aUtHoRiTaRiAn” means he would rather rule over a starving populace than buy fuel for the tractors?
Yes, the fan man had nothing to do with multiple failed 5-year plans because implementing a command economy is historically such a successful endeavor.
Imagine what Cuba would look like if the Free Market decided who got to eat and receive medicine when there is barely enough food for the population due to the recently intensified blockade.
Use your imagination. There’s no need to accept disgusting disregard for human life, for any purpose. It makes no sense to act like they did something good. Stop idolizing the human predators of humans.

What the soviets and cpc have accomplished with central planning is undeniably remarkable.

They couldn’t accomplish it without mass human rights abuses. It’s nothing to be proud of and they’re certainly not a role model worth emulating.

Well we have two competing large economic systems at the moment. I don’t really have to use my imagination.
It’s weird we only talk about “human rights abuses” when talking about designated bad countries. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
Is “we” in the room with us right now? I’m me, not we.
We are literally discussing them right now.
