[@Gromkiii]

@@simmerproductions9359 That simply is not true, or you never read Marx or you are just ignorant, it is in Marx writhing that farmers and Borguase are in servitude of the working class, this is why famine in Ukraine was accepted and 8 mill farmers die. Also, Marx wrote, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Simply put if you are capable to do something, you need to work for somebody who is not. I will tell you how was done in practice this rule in my home country of former Yugoslavia. When somebody has a business, the government took it from owners and say to them, you are capable to run the business so you must work as before when you are been business owner, but you will have the same salary as an ordinary worker, first, you will need to sign in a party if not when you will do something wrong will be your responsibility if you will be in the party then OK. Naturally, the business owner didn't spend all days working as before for nothing. Farmers were taken farms in collective (zadruga) run buy party members and all tractors bought with great efforts from some farmers, were just for everybody to use. Just previous owners need to care for them meanwhile all people could take tractors and they destroy them really quickly. Soon nobody didn't take care of anything, similar as in democratic cities in the USA. it was another socialist leftist story elites (working class) were in total control and enjoyed the good life and all others were drunk from alcohol. In the end, we have the Balkan war.

When you showed the picture of the shop with empty shelves it reminded me of Estonia in 1990 before it got out of the Soviet Union. There was a big shopping center but inside it the huge hall was almost empty. The that put the desks from corner to corner in one direction. Behind the desks were 10 women, but all that they had to sell put together was 5 pieces of bread and 10 pieces of meat/fat - and that was all! If you visit the same shopping center today there are 10 shops and all of them are filled with goods. This is the difference between communism and capitalism.

So, I can confirm your pictures as the reality of communism. I have seen the same thing with my own eyes in Estonia when it was still part of the Soviet Union. But in 1991 Estonia already had got so much taste of a life in freedom through visits in the West, that they decided to leave the Soviet Union no matter the cost, and in 1992 they succeeded together with the two other Baltic countries to take down the entire Soviet Union. This is why Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians do not fear communist empires like CCP china.

Such questioning is not an attempted defence of North Korea, but a wish to get at the uncontaminated truth.

[@mikelonas4508]

There's more than one free country (just so you know) but I "think" the reason is this: if someone were to happen to North Korea, such as the demise of their corrupt regime, China would be responsible for the North Koreans (for some reason.) This is why China doesn't interfere with North Korea and deports refugees back to North Korea. The Koreas (North and South) are still at war so the responsibly falls into China's hands. This is a problem because if another country were to get involved to free North Korea (the USA for example) China would fight back so they won't have to deal with North Korea. To better understand this, from China's point of view it's like a failing business like Sears (North Korea) and a successful company like Amazon (China). If something were to happen to Sears then Amazon would be responsible for either rebuilding Sears, taking in their employees (and continue to pay them) or be forced to by the brand out of pocket, making it harder for Amazon to stay afloat.

[@donnabaardsen5372]

I lived in Norway for years. Scandinavians have an amazing quality of life; however, as for them all being so happy, there's one major thing missing: God. These are basically agnostic/atheist/Humanist countries. The majority do not believe in God. Sincere Christians are not treated well, are considered to be mentally unstable. As long as your beliefs fall within government parameters of acceptable, all is well. At one time, Norway had the highest suicide rate per capita in the world. These are truly wonderful countries and people; however, when happiness is tied only to the material definition of it, eventually that happiness is empty at it's core. A void only God can fill. I loved living in Norway. The core of my happiness wasn't/isn't tied to/dependent on finite things. Therefore, my years there were sincerely happy, even during some very difficult, unhappy times. So when I hear a country/it's people described as "...the happiest on earth...," my thought is, dig deeper. What are the depression/suicide statistics? How deep and long running is the research BEFORE designating a country's happiness scale.

I'm an actual Norwegian, i have no idea what you're talking about... :P "These are basically agnostic/atheist/Humanist countries." Well, that's not just a Scandinavian or European thing... Religion around the whole world is on the decline. :P It's only recently, during a 2016 study, when Atheists (39%) FINALLY outnumbered believers in god (37%) in Norway... But, that's only only believers in god, doesn't include other religions, such as buddhism, hinduism, etc... So theists as a whole, are still the majority. "The majority do not believe in God." Atheists are still only about 39% of the population, still a minority, lol. "Sincere Christians are not treated well, are considered to be mentally unstable." Because they are, theism is just socially acceptable m*nt*l *lln*ss. I come from a religious family, my mother was the first Atheistic generation from our family... Plenty of my family members have been thrown out of their homes by their parents, due to being "shunned" and "exiled" for being gay or promiscuous... If it wasn't for the law, they would genuinely be stoning them to death... They think nothing of murdering people in god's name... Some family members have also allowed their baby children to die, because they thought their faith in god would provide them with a miracle. My own grandmother was kind enough to let me know that, if god didn't exist, she would probably try to r*pe me. So now i know that that only reason she's behaving civilized and not going around r*ping and m*rd*ring people, is because god has bribed her with immortality in paradise. xD So yeah, they're pretty unstable, man. :) "These are truly wonderful countries and people; however, when happiness is tied only to the material definition of it, eventually that happiness is empty at it's core. A void only God can fill." Incorrect, actually... The fact that evangelical crazies allow their children to die of easily treated d*se*ses, just because they want to get closer to divinity, or feel more important, by trying to invoke a miracle, means that not even god can fill the black hole that is inside humanity. :P Humans are NEVER truly satisfied, they always want more... All humanity can REALLY do, is learn to LIVE with that void, rather than constantly trying to fill it. Trying to fill the void just leads to self-destructive behavior. Just a bit ps*ch*logical wisdom for you there. ;) "I loved living in Norway." Sounds like you didn't, given you're clearly not satisfied with the amount of god it contains. xD "So when I hear a country/it's people described as "...the happiest on earth...," my thought is, dig deeper." Sounds like a self-centered coping mechanism, to me. When you hear "happiest on earth" your thought process is "not without god, you aren't, dig deeper" as if you had some incredible knowledge that would revolutionize happiness across the world if people just listened to you, lmao... Very n*rcissistic, and childish. xD Wanna know what thought pops up in my head when i hear "happiest on earth"? The thought that pops into my head is more along the lines of "What are their criteria for happiness?", because, you know, "happiest on earth" is kinda vague, it's just not enough information. :P "What are the depression/suicide statistics?" Sum quick googling suggests that about 600-ish people per year commit lifen't in Norway, yearly... 2/3's of them being men. Not just a Norway issue btw, suicide rates of men are increasing, world-wide, at least in first world countries... Many suspect feminism is responsible for that, due to them making those countries hostile places for men... It's a chain of political consequences... No need to get into the nitty gritty. The point is, it doesn't have anything to do with "lack of god", lmao. "How deep and long running is the research BEFORE designating a country's happiness scale." I'm sure if you had an ACTUAL interest in these topics, you'd be able to figure out the answers with a bit of research, lmao... Why ask some random people in a youtube comments section? xD

You are indeed a Beacon of Hope for North Koreans ma'am! Fight for Democracy!

Thank you for your book I read your signed copy I purchased! Thank you! I wanted to share this Professor from the University of Chicago: John Mearsheimer! I know you will learn so much from his books as well as his you tube talks and his ideas on International Relations!

Yeonmi 2024

[@omittedfour15]

I’d vote for her

[@chrisjudd2747]

Yeonmi.. you should post some videos in Korean language, in the hope that just one copy gets into Nth Korea .... you could inspire a lot of ppl

[@georgejeffries3566]

Thank you Yeonmi. Keep shining the light on NK. I believe positive change for NK will come before long.

[@b_em0]

Thank you for another educational NK video!

[@nimnimlight]

Awesome video

[@ravimandavi5741]

How is health facilities ? If someone needs a simple medical procedure, are they able to get that ?

[@santorasampson3430]

Their facilities suck big time. A doctor, I believe, gets paid pennies on the dollar. You have to go to the black market just to get medicine you need, if you're lucky.

[@Aruku-Jedo]

I'd be happy to fight for the freedom of north korea. They deserve a better life and freedom.

[@lubazak636]

I my spiritual, not religious point of view, your soul chose this very difficult challenge to be born in North Korea. You have escaped and now are living your life purpose to teach the world about what’s going on. This is a subconscious point of view. I believe all our lives have a purpose. Blessings to you. You are so brave and beautiful!!!

[@veronicachandler6639]

"Nobody is a human being in NK!?" This so unthinkable and hard to imagine and as hard as this is to hear I'm so grateful to you for enlightening us all. I've known it was bad in North Korea but the level of depravity of this regime I'm learning is much more horrific in reality than I understood. Something must be done!

[@robinbranco1259]

It breaks my heart that all of the world leaders are so worried about climate change but they all turn a blind eye to the inhumanity is going on in North Korea keep up the good fight girl💯👍

[@carr0302]

Loved your book back in 2016

[@mrharry8466]

The problem is that the family have been raised this way and could be completely brain washed to think they are these special people. Therefore if that is the case, there is no hope of change. The people of North Korea if they all believe this to be BS and don't want to live like this....rise up, have they had an uprising in prior history?

[@pinkgreenmelon2209]

the regular people of north korea can’t do an uprising cause how hard and bad the risks will be and the success rate of them is so low because the regime has full power towards anything. The most possible way is if the Elite team up against the regime.

[@brucemcchundra8658]

There is no possibility of a revolution occurring from within North Korea. Ms Park has already comprehensively and unequivocally ruled out such a possibility in her recent video "Shocking Reasons Why There Is NO REVOLUTION in North Korea", whether initiated from among the elites or from the common people.

[@pinkgreenmelon2209]

@@brucemcchundra8658 Yeah it’s the sad truth of what power can do

[@mrharry8466]

The question is if a rescue mission is launched will the people rise up when forces enter? If the regime carry on the way it is.....it is only a matter of time.

[@lifeinmyemptynest]

Praying for God’s protection over you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story..

[@Eric-ig9oe]

live in France. could cry at each video I watch. How is this even possible ???

[@Upioornica]

I just realized that the "10 years army service" is in fact an official slavery system. I didn't think about it before in this way, because everyone in NK is oppressed in one way or another, and mandatory military service isn't that uncommon in the world. But here it's literally a 10 years long slavery contract with no personal time whatsoever.

[@hasyh17]

Maybe if america didn't station troops right on it's border they wouldn't need to do that.

[@beakytwitch7905]

Gee Yeonmi, you are reminding me of things from my own life experience. (I will not burden you with details).

[@izzyf5409]

6:45 There is a mouse pad with Goofy from Disney. Are the American cartoons characters aloud in NK?

[@Magikpotion]

You got me all fired up, you're very charismatic. What can I do? I have two hands and a limited sphere of influence. Can we just get together and march over there like the crusades? What's the best way to topple the regime? It's so striking that everyone should hate the Kim's yet they still remain in power. It's like some inherent human flaw we can't escape, it's only one boy! You've said before that you can't know better if you've only lived under their rule, makes sense when you know nothing else. Is the solution freedom of information? Even then you still have China and Russia to deal with.

[@kartikchaturvedi7868]

Superrrb Awesome Fantastic video

[@666HollyHell]

thank you Yeonmi, you are so brave, I admire you. I read your book, I watch the documentaries about NK, and I think I watched all your videos.. and I'm still wondering what can we do to save those people? I feel so useless and powerless ;/

[@Allah-ekrangeelarasool]

How do you upload video from North Korea , isn't ban there ?? 🤔

[@carolyndelong4737]

Wow , it’s just unbelievable what she shares with us. If we need to help anyone it would be this country and Cuba . Those people are truly oppressed. Look at what we have because of freedom and trade !! She is also trying to let us know if things don’t change , America is heading in the same direction!!

[@jimenaaguirrez8116]

All of her haters and detrators work for North Korea. Change my mind. Also, Yeonmi, dear, I love what you are doing and you are an amazing person. Just dont be afraid to take a centre-right position. Be careful not to allow conservatives to pull you too far-right.❤
