Stalinism is the inevitable socialist management style.
Thirty officials of the North Korean regime who were involved in talks with South Korea have been executed or died in “staged traffic accidents,” … [I]n addition to the 30 who died in purges last year, a further 200 were rounded up in January this year by the State Security Agency as Pyongyang carried out the transfer of power from Kim Jong-il, [to] Kim Jong-un. Of those 200 … some were apparently executed and the remainder were sent to political prison camps. The gulag system presently contains an estimated 200,000 people in “horrific conditions,” the group said.
North Korea has a habit of executing bureaucrats who are perceived to have failed the regime, even though they are often merely carrying out the orders of higher-ranking officials or members of the ruling family. [more]
I’m gonna punch the next socialist dweeb who says, “Yeah, but this time it’ll work.”
No, jackass, socialism won’t work. It can’t work, because you can’t get there from here.
Tyranny is a reality canyon between freedom and utopia (Marxist or otherwise),
and progressivism is just an imaginary bridge.
In the US, on the other hand, even incompetent gov’t bureaucrats get bonuses.
Not sure that’s a better motivational tool, though.
Perhaps there’s a happy medium.
In Best Korea, when you get “thrown under the bus,” you really get thrown under a bus.

The “progressives” would have it that way here, and most of them aren’t savvy enough to realize it.
They bow to the Muslim world, when the very principles of Sharia law are contrary to what the “progressives” so loudly claim as their goals.
They are, indeed retarded and brainwashed. That in itself is proof, yet again, that the best way to tell what “progressives” are up to is to just have a quick look at what they accuse conservatives of.
“staged traffic accidents,”
Unles those fallen out of favor are run over by tanks, I don’t see how they could do that. They can’t afford to damage a car.
I don’t mind incompetent ones getting bonuses. It’s their numbers and powers that scares me.

I think they found the Chinese method of flying a guy into a mountainside to be a tad expensive.
Dunno why they don’t just have Yak accidents.
(What? Sure, they got Yaks in Best Korea … don’t they? Well, then they must have water buffalo or sumpthin’. I mean, how they gonna pull a plow? Oh, wait …)
(2+4): well, maybe the staged accident involved a truck with a really big bumper running over a pedestrian….
I’ve had fantasies of reducing the size of our malignant bureaucracy but more along the line of putting them to other, useful occupations.
I don’t know, Doug. There’s something to be said for executing bureaucrats.

Yeah, hence the “happy medium” thing.
You know, fifteen.
Gives me an idea for an update.
Qwestshun: “Will the last Nork commit suicide, please?”
“… the gulag system presently contains an estimated 200,000 people in “horrific conditions,”
Base-level conditions in NoKo are not exactly comfortable (except perhaps for the Inner Circle), so their gulags must be particularly vile.
3/4ths finished with the book, “The Fall of Berlin” and the Nazis were also going apeshit over anyone they perceived were not ‘loyal’ or were ‘defeatist’.
Yes summary executions were quite common and NK is in the same dire striates Berlin was in Feb. ’45 for all practical purposes.
No doubt the NK judges are like Roland Freisler was. Fanatics that ignore evidence and just send them to the gallows/guillotine.
Notice the titles…
Führer .. Supreme Judge of the German People.. First Worker of the New Germany.. Greatest Military Commander of All Time…
.vs.
Dear Leader.. Superior Person.. Respected Leader.. Sun of the Communist Future.. Ever-Victorious, Iron-Willed Commander.. Great Man, Who Descended From Heaven..
gad… how warped.
^ Amen, bro’.
