Remember that was 25 million when the population of the country was around 200 million.

Adjusted for today’s population of around 300 million, that’s closer to 40 million of us to be sent to the ovens.

There will be a hell of a lot killed without a doubt. A big portion of them will be obama’s enablers and idiots and will not have the faintest idea that it was their actions that got them there. Myself? If I am still living I will probably be either in my back yard or front yard shot full of holes by the police who come to put me on the train or bus to take me to the camp.

Somebody has to make a movie about this, along the line of “Killing Field” or “Schindler’s List.” You can make a masterpiece out of this brutal reality, a movie which can transcend time.

Agreed. North Korea is so bad that it defies imagination, and because it is so bad, too many people believe the reports about the country must be grossly exaggerated.

On a related matter, one benefit of things like this showing up in the Atlantic is it reminds American liberals who value human rights and similar concepts that what they would call “Stalinism” is evil and must be opposed not only by conservatives but also by liberals. Liberalism is wrong, but that doesn't mean they want to put everyone into a Stalinist death camp, and large numbers of liberals truly do believe in what they say about human freedom.
