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.

The South Korean government says it has reached a basic agreement to end the Korean War, but there is no such fact.
The South Korean side's recent insistence on an agreement in principle between the United States, China, and North Korea to end the Korean War appears to be referring to an armistice agreement. The agreement stipulates that the two countries ``guarantee a complete cessation of acts of war and all use of force in Korea until a final peace settlement is reached.''
This interpretation is that the armistice agreement means a temporary cessation of the use of force toward a peaceful resolution, and that an agreement in principle has been reached toward an end to the war.
Section 13(d) of the Armistice Agreement stipulated that North and South Korea should not bring new weapons to the Korean peninsula, other than to redeploy damaged or worn-out equipment, but the United States abolished this. In 1958, the nuclear-armed MGR-1 and M65 280mm cannon were deployed to South Korea, and a year later they were joined by the nuclear-armed MGM-1, which had China and the Soviet Union within range.
In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution supporting the replacement of the Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty and the dissolution of the United Nations Forces.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan refused talks toward a peace treaty, citing the Korean Air Incident.
In 2009, North Korea announced that it considered the armistice agreement no longer valid.
The Armistice Agreement appears to be in a state of abandonment, and the current situation is not a truce under the Armistice Agreement, but rather a state that has not yet led to war.
In March 2018, Xi Jinping called for a ``new security framework'' with the United States that would include a peace agreement among the four countries: the United States, China, North Korea, and South Korea, but former US President Trump did not indicate his approval or disapproval.
In April 2018, U.S. President Trump welcomed South Korea's intention to convert the armistice into a peace agreement at the inter-Korean summit. Moon Jae-in and Chairman Kim Jong-un agreed to actively promote trilateral talks between the South, North Korea, and the United States, as well as four-party talks between the South, North Korea, the United States, and China, aimed at building peace.
As a matter of fact, no basic agreement has been reached by the four parties. If I had to say it, we only agreed on the direction based on the interpretation of the Armistice Agreement. An agreement comes with agreed terms.
First of all, it is necessary to agree on the conditions, but there is no such agreement.
In fact, the Armistice Agreement has become a mere shell, and the interests of the signatory countries have changed. It would be better for the US and Russia to leave North Korea as a buffer zone.
Once the two countries, North and South, conclude a peace treaty, that will be the end. I find it strange that the situation can't be done between the two countries because of the armistice agreement. Rather, it seems like they are asking for help because they are unable to have dialogue between the two Koreas.
Is there any meaning in a peace treaty in a relationship where dialogue is impossible?
When you ask Koreans this question, the majority of them are of the opinion that a peace treaty cannot be concluded without the consent of the signatories of the Armistice Agreement. Both South and North Korea are independent states, so it is possible to conclude treaties between the two countries.
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.
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.
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.
North Korea does not stop missile launches.The purpose is just to develop nuclear weapons to protect King Kim Jong Il regime.
At a press conference after 9 a.m., Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile on the morning of June 30 and reached a maximum height of about 2,000 kilometers, which is believed to have fallen outside Japan's EEZ= exclusive economic zone."Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno said, "North Korea fired a ballistic missile eastward from the interior of North Korea around 7:52 a.m. today.We are currently investigating the details, but if the missile is a normal trajectory, it is estimated that it flew about 2,000 kilometers high, 30 minutes long, and 800 kilometers away from Sea of Japan's exclusive economic zone."
Regarding Matsuno's remarks to reporters that the launch was "high-intensity," a senior Foreign Ministry official said, "I think that's what he said about the missile.In other words, the threat is growing.North Korea is likely to resume ICBM= intercontinental ballistic missile tests or nuclear tests in the future, as it seems to be launching various missiles on a trial basis."
The other day, Matsukawa, a former defense parliamentary secretary, replied, "North Korea has a clear target point, and I think is just proceeding with the plan there."Kim Jong-un is trying to build a North that will protect the Kim Jong-un regime forever, and if other countries criticize the missile launch, he will respond with provocations.Matsukawa's statement may be closer to the truth because nothing will change after the U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution.
North Korea may just be using criticism from other countries as a diplomatic strategy.You should think that they will not stop until they reach the target point of nuclear and missile development.
