Where are you seeing progress? All it is is mullets banned, facial piercings banned, all kinds of jeans are capitalist and hence are all banned, music that aint theirs is banned, not really seeing progress here
Well, you are right.
However!
If you remember, during the granpa Kim, they were all allowed only one blue working suit. All else was prohibited. No private initiative whatsoever.
Now they have (limited) variety of clothes and there is even some (limited) private enterprise.
Small steps.
Ah, you're so negative, focusing on them banning one haircut. Why not look at the positive? They now allow ten different haircuts!
