          The US has a higher proportion of its population in the gulag than North Korea does.

              You pointed out North Korea's prison population as a counter to their superior urban planning to the USA, but they also have a lower prison population.

                  Lmao cops will open fire on you and any bystanders for petty theft, there may be due process if you live to see court.

                    I'm not really in the business of sourcing things to users from an instance that is basically a Sealioning factory.

                    Ultimately, I will get told I don't understand economics until I've read all three volumes of Das Kapital. Ironically, it's no different that libertarians saying you don't understand economics unless you've read the works of Milton Friedman, or more importantly, Ayn Rand.

          Ignoring how funny it is to use the russian word for prison in Korea, in America you get gulag and no urban planning

              Where'd I say the DPRK needs prison reform? Hard to assert such a thing without knowing it's actual conditions.

                  What does "freedom of the press" mean here in amerikkka? Is it a freedom enjoyed by you or I or any other common person, has it ever been?

                  The answer to these questions is no, the freedom of the press is freedom only for those who own the printing presses and that freedom is the freedom to use the press as a megaphone for views and ideas that help them and those in the same class

                  It always goes back to the material conditions and who owns the means of production
