    You know, this is the experience that drove Ceausescu off the deep end. He was a standard Eastern Bloc autocrat until this visit. . . then he decided he wanted what Kim had, and the rest is history. :-S

      I was thinking along the same line as well. It is as if Ceausescu experienced a some form of epiphany once he found himself surrounded by North Korean welcoming committees and mass games. You can kind of tell his enthusiasm -- his eyes are brightened up! :D

    This was Ceausescu's second visit to North Korea I think. His first was in 1971 and that visit basicly started the cult of personality that revolved around him in Romania, since he was impressed with the way Kim Il-sung ran North Korea.

      And guess who Kim Il-Sung learned it from: Joseph Stalin. Look up the INSANE 1950 Soviet propaganda film "The Fall of Berlin", it literally portrays Stalin as if he was a deity. It was considered so dangerous in terms of making a cult that even Khrushchev and Brezhnev both banned the film for decades IIRC.

      There is no freedom apart from Christ. He purchased humanity by His own blood, from slavery to the will of satan ('god of this world' and 'prince of the power of the air'). Yet one must believe in order to partake of the benefits.
      (John 10:10) 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.'
      Clearly NO political or economic system, run by sinful men, can 'save' humanity. (Psalm 146:3) 'Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.'
      It is not news that the North Korean regime has committed appalling human-rights offenses against its own people. Aside from the political killings, the concentration camps, the forced labor, the neglect and abuse of the peasantry leading to chronic mass starvation--------------aside from all these things, one of the regime's greatest crimes has been its attempt to extirpate Christianity. Instead it has substituted an emperor-worship cult not so far removed from Japanese monarcho-fascism as many people would care to believe. Or it might bear comparison with ancient Egypt, with its rigidly stratified society.
      During the Japanese occupation, Protestant Christians led the moral crusade of resistance, because they served a greater King than the Japanese emperor-------------namely, Jesus Christ. And Pyongyang used to be known as a 'capital' of Asian Christianity. But the political reorganization of the peninsula owing to great-power interference (in which the Kims were Soviet stooges) changed that. Seoul took over that mantle after the conflict of 1950-53.
      However, churches in the South have been active in helping North Korean defectors in their social adjustment. In turn many defectors from the North have found Christ and are now serving Him.
      Unfortunately, capitalist/imperialist mainland China 'needs' North Korea as a satellite. For China's sake, it is not allowed to forge its own path. Therefore the faux-rouge and always amoral Chinese are deeply complicit in the suffering of the North Korean people. So is Donald Trump, who after an initial show of imprudent bellicosity became a pussycat in Kim Jong-un's lap----------in effect leading the West in 'sanitizing' Kim's dirty image.

      Where? Look around some more, xenophobe.
      I'm a Christian, not an apologist for 'the West'. Jesus, the Son of God, became manifest as a Middle Eastern Jew. Christianity spread quickly in all directions (Africa, Asia, Europe) from its point of origin in Israel. Jesus said, 'salvation is from the Jews.' Apart from Jewish cultural penetration of the pagan West at that time, generating interest in the Word of God, Europe lay in darkness of night.
      And today, Europe has returned in large measure to paganism and secularism. It is in certain parts of the Third World that Christianity is advancing rapidly today. NO wonder, because Jesus came proclaiming good news for the poor.
      The ungodly world system of today, whether it is represented by the two great imperial powers, America and China, or by someone else, is dominated by pursuit of MONEY. Jesus said, you cannot serve both God and money.

    It's eerie because this is so beautiful it made me tear up a bit, but this is the moment Ceausescu basically went insane. Really sad. What's sadder though is that, after this, Ceausescu decided to build a huge palace instead of making an Eiffel Tower that's 10x the size of the original. If you're gonna starve a whole nation, you might as well give the middle finger to France while you're doing it.

    The Rumanian plane was deemed to be too heavy to safely fly out of Pyongyang back to Bucharest. Ceaucescu told his translator, Sergiu Celac, to disembark and find his own way home. That was, needless to say a very difficult trip to make home without any credit or currency in his possession.

      They could produce a great mass choreographed show, but had to rely on western countries for better consumer goods. The masses got the inferior goods produced in Soviet, Chinese and East Block countries while the leaders got the superior goods from the west. In the case of the Lincoln's, I am guessing that despite the tensions between America and North Korea, Kim just liked this car and had to have it, given that they were used 33 years later to carry his body in his funeral to me confirms this. Nixon gave Brezhnev a Lincoln a few years earlier, perhaps this influenced him. He could have more easily procured Soviet ZIL limos or even Mercedes Benz. It is rumored that he procured them illegally through a Ford dealer in Japan.

The amount of effort required to copy a car that was easily bought on the American economy to produce a handful of limos would make no sense and be counter productive. Even if successful, all they would have accomplished is further projected the image that American design and technology was so superior that they chose to duplicate it rather than create their own. It looks like the cars were stripped of all their markings that identified them as Lincoln's. The cars were probably bought legitimately in other markets and then smuggled.

No matter what even if they damn live under bad and old conditions being oppressed by that actual god awful Kim regime that doesn't even represent communism, they'll do it for you even if they are oppressed or no matter what damn thing you throw at them but you know what? Maybe any type of damn thing they would do (which kind of makes me remind myself that this sounds like some kind of slavery but-). Likewise on what I said, it reminds me of a quote somewhere that i forgot and now I'm gonna steal it. It's something as goes like this,

    I would say that the North had an early start compared to the South. The Kim Il Sung dictatorship quickly swept away any dissent and had the advantage of controlling the industrialized North from the start. By contrast, the South was plagued by political factionalism and lacked of industries. But once the Park Jung Hee regime took over the South, the South started to industrialize at a breakneck speed, but it was not until the '80s when everyone could feel the change in the South.

      ​@@hueyfreeman1983 Famine, No Rights, Government taking everything, Personality Cult, No Contact with the outside world, this was communism in Romania. What you are saying is propaganda (the only ones that are somewhat true are the first ones, but they are nothing to the abuse Romanians suffered at the hands of the communists). If you want to know the truth, speak with people that lived under communist regimes and ask them how life was for them.

    In the 70's north korea was the same as south korea, in an economical point of view: they had the same GDP. In 1978 (when Ceaucescu went in Pyongyang) the DPRK just began to lose its "economical power" which made everybody surprised (especially NATO). People trusted their country at this time, the trusted in the revolution and the power of the USSR. As communist militants (most of the opposants could go to the south during the Korean War and the retreat of the US Army because of China), they didn't believe in "Capitalist Propaganda", and that's why people here aren't actors.

    Two ruthless dictators met in Pyongyang, and Ceausescu was deeply impressed by Kim Il Sung`s personality cult. And Ceausescu mimiced Kim`s cult of personality. But it provoked antipathy among Rumanian people, and his regime collapsed.

    Those Lincolns were marketed as being in commemoration of the 200Th anniversary of the American Revolution. How did they smuggle a stretch Lincoln? It was later used as a hearse. I saw the NK ambassador to the UN in one in New Jersey. All the nice used cars for sale in NJ and he was riding in a piece of garbage. Koreand own service stations so it might get interesting if the ambassador showed up at one.

      Best not to speak too lightly of eating grass and drinking bark tea! You might come off as insensitive to the suffering of others.
      They didn't 'keep' their dictator; they were forced to keep him. Undoubtedly Romanian methods of terror and brainwashing were less efficient, and/or they suffered less from geographical, economic, and cultural isolation. Try looking at a map. People from different Eastern European countries could cross borders. I saw it when I was there, during the late 1970s.
      Ascribing such things to 'national differences' is pretty simple-minded. Human nature is consistent across the board. People don't enjoy being abused. At the same time, they can't help abusing one another, because they are sinners by nature. 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23).

      You are right in a way, however diets in the East of Asia are more shaped by feast or famine than the diets of modern Europe, even the poorer countries such as Romania. Who in modern Europe eats carnivorous animals such as cats or dogs through choice? Pickled cabbage may form the basis of both Korean kimchi and German sauerkraut- but the modern German diet is more like the American or English diets than ever before.
