Don't worry, they can re-educate the sh*t out of that illness

maybe he was just ronrey

I think this is good news. Kim 3 is trying to modernize the country with Disney on Ice and getting rid of the old guard.

Fabric_Man		2012-07-16 09:09:44 AM

Un is just reminding the military brass who's really in charge. Daddy did the same thing when he took over.

Action Seal		2012-07-16 09:10:07 AM

Power transitions like these happened when Kim Jong Il took over for his father. This isn't unexpected, and I doubt he'll be executed or punished, provided the reason for his removal was related to the transition of leadership and not for "failing the regime" as the finance minister did.

Imagine that. A communist country having a violent replacement of the old guard.

Comrade Iosef Stalin would be proud.

Eating that Pb and jelly sandwich that Kim Jong-un gave you might not have been such a good idea.

This. He probably is retiring in luxury, actually, since he didn't piss off the brass.

My new favorite TV show is that comedy with the lovely Laura San Giacomo and the funny George Segal. But it's name escapes me now. What was it?

Just Shoot Me?

Okay. If you insist.

Last night the BBC headline read "North Korea military head removed". Today it reads "...military chief". I'm glad they clarified that.

I never noticed the pink ears and nose on Un before. Was it cold out or is this picture at his clown college graduation??

I've been to other nations. The people there are no smarter than Americans on average. The majority of people anywhere are retarded.

Well, aren't you the pedantric twit of the year.

"Communism", in this case, refers to the Leninist-Stalinist Communist form of Government, ALONG with the economic system of communal self-production that was exported from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as well as the People's Republic of China, to the North Koreans in the 1950s.

Is that descriptive enough for you, skippy? Atleast I live in a country where I don't have to be Der Grammar Nazi when it comes to using the common accepted definition of a word which aptly describes the current economic and sociopolitical climate in a country.

Don't bother. I suspect that Alonjar is one of those "We don't know if true communism works, because it's never been tried" wankers. Either that or there was too much dialectic roughage in his kibbles this morning.

I'm just cracking up at the fact that he thinks the modern usage of the word communism should be in reference to the original, pre-industrialization, Pre-USSR/Eastern Bloc economic theories of Marx, and not to the inseparable system of Tolterian Government/Economic Direction which was developed by Trotsky/Stalin/Lenin/Mao et all during the first and second half of the 20th century.

Ri Yong Ho is out, and Pyongyang is letting the world know to not expect to hear about him anymore

I'm going to give that a whirl next time I have to clip a guy. "So hey, you remember Joe Blow? Well, just so you're not surprised when you don't see him around anymore...don't expect to see him around any more. Now let's go bowling."

I always like to point out, when someone correctly portrays "classic" communism as having never been tried on a national scale, that they've had numerous attempts over the last 130 or so years, at the cost of something like 150 million lives. This is like the person complaining that each of their six previous spouses was a complete asshole, which is why they divorced them.

Well, Photoshop should make it easier to remove the "ill" Vice Marshall from all pictures ever taken with Kim Jong-un.

It always boils down to something along the lines of "my buddies and I weren't in charge, and we're so much better we can pull it off."

People are indeed generally idiots, but I tend not to trust those that not only hold to that but also insist they're so much smarter than all those other 'tards out there. Sorry, we're all 'tards, just in different ways.

I'm starting to wonder if Mini-Dear Leader is purging the old guard to make way for modernization.

Or perhaps there was a revolt against making runs to nearest South Korean McDonald's, and Chiefy was one of the loudest dissenters.

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.
