It's been easy enough for a long while now to get a quick tourist visa from Beijing and get into North Korea for a few days
I don't think tourism is a main danger of communism
Unless you were that kid who tore down posters there before covid kicked off.
He ended up back in the West completely paralysed, died a few days later

The propaganda about this resort area has been out for years and years. If you watch any videos by Yeonmi Park, she spoke about how this very, very tiny area was created and is maintained. Women are auditioned (ie: auctioned off) for the "Pleasure Squad" for the entertainment of the Kim dynasty and the male circle of officials. This is where they specifically hire "pretty virgins" (and confirm that fact) for show. This is the area shown to "visitors" and "tourists".

There's a pretty huge industry of people (And missionaries) going to North Korea Lilith
I don't like them. I don't mind the North Korea thing, that's a different culture and I get to leave it.
But those who visit repeatedly are morally questionable in my opinion

Curiosity was my my drive. I've seen lots of communist countries and so am able to compare them somewhat.
None of them are nice though, but there's something different about them which does give pause for pondering
Once we get AI running the world, maybe then we can have communism
