The martyr of Central Planning and Total Government Control - Kim Jong-il's son, Kim Jong-un, to rule North Korea


Somehow it all seems reminiscent of the death of 'Papa Doc' Duvalier and the transfer of power to 'Baby Doc' in 1971. The disastrous results for Haiti under the Docs are akin to North Korea under the Kim's. Call it Communism, Marxism, Fascism or whatever, it is all the result of total government 'planning and control' under a 'charismatic leader' and enforced with Tonton Macoute (bogeymen). Sounds all too familiar. The hereditary transfer of power to a bloated, spoiled child of an absolute tyrant took place in both instances. The result in the latter inheritance remains to be seen.
It would be nice to hope Kim Jong-il has plenty of company from his fraternity in Hell. ♘
