  Mobile phone ban

  It was based on evidence that the huge train explosion of the Syrian missile shipment that happened near the Chinese border was set off by a cell phone bomb.
  
  Telephone books are a top secret document in Pyongyang, I've read Japanese illustrated books detailing their lifestyle.

  Collectivism's failure

  Hey, look at it this way, aside from the fact that untold thousands of people die from starvation in a brutal police state, this is a continuous Demonstration of the absolute failure of Socialism, Communism, Fascism (yes, it's the same thing, as in NAZI - National Socialism), Marxism, Collectivism, etc. etc.
  
  Think of it as a huge ‘experiment’ with one land mass, people and culture that’s divided in half.
  One half is thriving under Capitalism, the other dying under socialism,

    Re: Collectivism's failure

    You might want to consider the difference between socialism ("we have an obligation to take care of our fellow man") and national socialism ("we have an obligation to take care of our fellow man, as long as he's part of our own people, and ignoring all others"). I'm not a fan of either one, but there is a difference.
