But your criteria for a state being a "good" one is that it has resisted a bad one. I'm sure anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand how that doesn't follow. As for why some folks might not like it, I could just vaguely gesture at all the western media that repression of speach and thought there and ask if there's anything reliable that can gainsay the claims. Haven't seen it.

The above meme references a resolution that forbids NK citizens from working outside the country to send remittances back, as a part of a sanctions regime against the country for nuclear proliferation. It doesn't forbid travel. So, you're the liar in this case. Idk why, scarcely care.
