North Korea joins the “science” club

From Associated Press here.
North Korea is bragging about its socialist system, saying the Occupy Wall Street movement shows that people are fed up with capitalism’s ills.
The agency reported that North Koreans are proud of the country’s socialist system because it is ruled by science and will continue to flourish in the future.
North Korea is one of the world’s most impoverished nations and relies on outside aid to feed many of its 24 million people.
And often fails. But at least it’s “science.” Like Darwin’s natural selection as the main trigger of new species, it doesn’t have to be true to be “science.”

Brag all they want. The Occupy Wall Street movement illustrates something quite different than how they interpret it. It’s called “Free Speech.” They should look it up if they could, but I doubt you’d find it in a Korean dictionary.
Also, with our capitalist system, construction projects tend to get completed, unlike that high rise monstrosity they call a hotel in Pyongyang that sat empty for how long? Was it 20+ years?
