North Korea and Venezuela were third-world countries BEFORE they tried “socialism.” We don’t fully know how NK is being run, but Venezuela didn’t even come *close* to socialism, despite Chavez’ best efforts. He only got 20% of the way there.

We know that North Koreans are malnourished, and pimprisoned in huge numbers by there government. In the 1950s South Korea was poorer than every African country. Now it is richer than many western ones and without the three Marshall Plans worth of free aid Africa has received.
