Agrarian Reform, otherwise known as "Communism", has killed six times more people than the Doomsday Flu of 1918. Nothing has killed more people in all of human history.

Doesn't stop people trying it though. It's a memetic disease and some people have no immunity.

Not too much sympathy for these morons. Gotta get a nuke and have a gargantuan army but can't feed it own people.
Misplaced priorities.
Until they take matters into their own hands the hell with them. Let them eat dirt.

Sounds more like a DU/RAT utopian dream.

They might as well consult Mugabe on agrarian reform.

The Communists in Cambodia used this method of exterminating vast numbers of city dwellers as well. It's very effective. It would work equally well in the USA, since most people have no concept of how to grow their own food.

Pretty harsh there. Since I doubt the average NK citizen has weapons, how would you suggest they take matters into their own hands against a well armed, well trained military?

It's interesting about sending them out on weekends. Like the weeds don't grow, and the crops don't need watered or picked Monday through Friday.

North Korea is sending millions of people from its cities to work on farms each weekend

Kind of reminds you of the Cambodian killing fields doesn't it?

That well armed, well trained military are citizens too. If they can stand by and watch as their fellow countrymen die of starvation without rebelling against their oppressors then they are not human. I can't get too upset when a subhuman culture destroys its self.

Communism is a disease. Often it's fatal for those infected, but the one thing we do know, is that it can not be cured by appeasement. That only prolongs and spreads the illness.

No argument from me about the malignancy of communism. I just wonder how realistic it is to expect sufficient numbers of citizens to band together and overthrow an entrenched regime.

Infiltration at top levels with an ensuing coup would be more likely to effect change. But just as unlikely I'm afraid.

Simple. Stop obeying them. Die rather than submit, if they want to kill you. The regime would not last a month without the cowardly obediance of underlings. The army can't feed itself, the leaders can't even protect themselves. If they come and take your food, let them, but go to a temple and stay there, in response. When they order you to do things, look them in the eye and say "no". If they want your work, they can bloody well give you respect and decency. They can have your life at any time, it is not your soul or your integrity. Everyone dies eventually. Not everyone lives as a slave.

I've often been tempted to do this with Ivy League faculty and residents of the Upper West Side.
