Big Brother socialist style. North Korea is a self-described Juche (self-reliance) state. The government is a family style dictatorship with a cult of personality organized around Kim Il-sung (the founder of North Korea and the country’s first and only president) and his son and heir, Kim Jong-il. Following Kim Il-sung’s death in 1994 he was not replaced but instead received the designation of “Eternal President” and was entombed in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in central Pyongyang.
North Korea is a single-party state with a Stalinist, totalitarian regime.
International human rights organizations accuse North Korea of having one of the worst human rights records of any nation. North Koreans are “some of the world’s most brutalized people” defectors have testified the existence of prison and detention camps with an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 inmates, and have reported torture, starvation, rape, murder, medical experimentation, forced labour, and forced abortions.
So, don´t atonish to see people bowing before a statue of Kim Il-Sung, in Pyongyang.
