The reason North Korea is poor is simple.
North Korea will continue to be poor. The reason is that it doesn't work. If you work, you will become a little richer. Come to think of it, there are some people who say they can't work because there are no jobs in North Korea, but don't be foolish. There will be jobs because there are people. Because your job is to help people. In other words, there is no work because you don't have that feeling or idea. In other words, the hopeless aspect of communism is that it lacks the concept of service.
1 in 5 men is a military man
It is said that 5% of North Korea's population are military personnel. If there were an equal number of men and women in the population, 10% of men would be military personnel. If you exclude children and the elderly from that number, I wonder if about one in five men are military personnel. In other words, these are people who do not engage in productive activities. 20% of working men do not produce. Even if people work in factories, leaders, section managers, and department managers are said to be in a class society where they don't work at all. In other words, even among people involved in production, those above a certain class do not work. College graduates and other elites are enthusiastic about manufacturing missiles that have no place in the North Korean economy.
Economy similar to barter
North Korea has a primitive economy that is roughly equivalent to barter. Simply put, if you can exchange food and daily necessities, you are considered lucky. For example, when exchanging soap for a single radish, paper money is merely used as an intermediary. In other words, the general rule is that if there is a shortage of radish, there will also be a shortage of soap.
Food aid does not add to the economy
What will happen if we provide food assistance here? It does nothing economically other than to alleviate starvation for a certain period of time. This is because food is meaningless unless producers produce it and exchange it in the market.
In other words, North Korea is poor because it doesn't work.

North Korea's current starvation situation is all spent on missile production. Existing Yi Dynasty Korea.
They live by getting their own food, whether it's birds or insects. It would be strange if humans starved to death. Despite being able to obtain food much more efficiently than animals. That happens often in North Korea. Because what the people earn will disappear somewhere. Transforms into a missile.
Kim Jong-un says it is to protect the people, but if the people are starving to death, the funds should be used to support the people's food supply and demand. There is no doubt that this is not to protect the people, but to protect the Kim Jong-un family. Even during the Joseon Dynasty, half of the population was slaves and there was no end to starvation. This is because the food that the people had cultivated had gone somewhere.
On the contrary, it is surprising that one in ten men in North Korea is a soldier. Of the total population of 25.97 million, 1.28 million are said to be military personnel. Moreover, this excludes the elderly and children, so the proportion is even higher when looked at within the working population. In other words, that many men are not engaged in society's productive activities.
Will North Korea's missile development solve this economically distorted social structure? Wouldn't nuclear missiles cost much less than military personnel? In any case, nowadays United Nations member states cannot attack other countries by interfering in their internal affairs. If nuclear missiles are deployed, the Kim dynasty will be strengthened. Korea will continue forever.
A sports festival that destroyed North Korea.Mayday Stadium was built at this time.
One of the reasons why the North Korean economy has fallen into the abyss is the 13th World Youth Student Festival.North Korea is also planning to host the Olympics in Seoul, but Samaranch, the president of the IOC, visited Pyongyang and returned home saying, anyway we will consider some opportunity but I don't know when.
The World Youth Student Festival is a sports, culture and art festival held in socialist countries.This was the first time that parent and children had clashed head-on over Kim Jong Il's proposal to hold other sports festival event against the hosting of the Korean Olympic Games.As a result, the decision was made in the process of transferring power to his son, Kim Jong Il.
The May Day Stadium (now a stadium where mass games and missile exhibitions are held) and hotels have been built, attracting 12,000 people from other countries for free.Most of North Korea's GNP was invested in the event.The huge state-funded festival put the country's finances in jeopardy.Since then, North Korea's domestic distribution has stopped, causing a large number of people to starve to death.
Hamgyeongnam-do, which earned 60 to 70 percent of North Korea's foreign currency at that time.It is said that the first people to starve to death were those who worked in a mine in Hamgyeongnam-do.
North Korea's country's huge tilt was due to the huge investment in the sports festival.It was a product of ostentatiousness against Korea.
North Korea's NATA (National Aerospace Technology Administration) is very similar to NASA - why make it look like it to compete with the United States? And it's English.
This is the official logo design of North Korea's National Aerospace Technology Directorate. If you think it's similar to something, it's NASA in the United States. The North Korean side is NATA. When I looked it up, it seems that NATA is the acronym for National Aerospace Technology Administration. This was also reported in Japanese media.
Kim Jong-un's daughter Jue appeared at the venue wearing a T-shirt with this mark printed on it, and all the male executives who greeted her were also wearing this T-shirt. It's a very North Korean-like scene, but by the way, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) seems to be an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In North Korea's logic, they would argue that they did not copy NASA, but simply used the name of North Korea's agency, and would they say that the design was inspired by space? No matter how you look at it, it just looks like a NASA fake.
North Korea is now excited that it has successfully launched a satellite. Japanese media has also reported that the threat has increased, but it was in 1970 that Japan placed its first artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth. North Korea is supposed to be making missiles to counter the United States. By the way, North Korea uses Hangul as its national script, and like South Korea, it has abolished the kanji that it had historically used for a long time. It's a very strange country.
real estate fraud by Kim Jong Un In the past, there was a real estate bubble in North Korea.Real estate worth more than 20 million yen is not affordable to the people of that economic level of communist country.North Korea is always short of foreign currency, and the underground economy is the foundation of North Korea's economy.On the surface, large amounts of money are flowing into foreign products and DVDs that are considered illegal.
More than half of the high-end villas in Heungmu-dong, Peony Peak, Pyongyang, were found to be empty, and Kim Jong-un held a state-led auction.At the time of the auction, the authorities ordered that the source of the money and the background of the successful bidder be independent.Since there is no need to worry about money from the black market, elite officials from 11 agencies that procure, research, and analyze nuclear and missile development parts from abroad participated in the auction, raising the purchase price to 23 million yen. by National Leaders
Two years later, at the end of 2019, Kim Jong Un suddenly announced that he would provide new luxury apartments to executives of 11 stations, and ordinary employees would be given apartments in the middle and new apartments in Mangyeongdae would be given to section chiefs.No one can refuse to provide Kim Jong Un with an apartment.They gave up luxury villas one after another and moved to a new apartment.Of course,at the past almost half of the rooms were empty, so no one could buy them even if real estate prices continued to fall.
Kim Jong-un sold high-end villas to elite executives at auction and transferred them to poor-quality new apartments and deposited the difference into the national treasury.Real estate prices have fallen by one-tenth since 2021, with the government ordering the eradication of private transactions in state-owned housing.

North Korea launched its third missile test this year on the 14th, the missile falled outside Japan's EEZ.
Yesterday, the 14th, North Korea conducted its third missile test of this year. This ballistic missile appears to have flown approximately 400km and landedoutside Japan's EEZ. North Korea has frequently carried out provocations this year. The move is seen as retaliation for sanctions imposed by the United States on the 12th. Why doesn't North Korea stop its missile tests in the first place?
It is said that one in five people in North Korea is a military member. It is an army that protects the Kim dynasty. Kim Jong-un says the missiles are for the country's self-defense, but in reality they are nothing more than an army under a dictatorship. North Korea continues to suffer from chronic food and resource shortages. Even if the people starve to death, a large amount of national funds will be spent on missile development. It is easy to notice this contradiction when you consider how many people will be saved by the cost of missile development.
One in five people, or 20% of the population, are not engaged in production-related industries. If there is no war, the main jobs of military personnel are training and security. In other words, the remaining 80% will be the labor force that supports North Korea's GDP. 20% of the poor people are not engaged in production. Most of the North Korean soldiers are said to be malnourished. A North Korean soldier who escaped from Panmunjom to South Korea was shot multiple times from behind by North Korean soldiers and underwent surgery in South Korea, where a large number of parasites were discovered in his intestines. .
North Korea's economy is no longer at a level where it can run a country, and its soldiers do not have the stamina to carry out operations. This led to the development of low-cost nuclear missiles. No matter how many soldiers they feed, they no longer have the ability to conduct land battles.
North Korea will not stop nuclear missile tests for these reasons. There is no longer an option for the military to protect the country by stopping nuclear missiles.
