Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's like when you drill down into it, there's not a lot below the surface in a way because it's just the Kim family and then a bunch of very benighted poor people around them that happen to be within the borders of a country called North Korea. And the way that it makes money, like you said, there's just so much illicit stuff that goes on.

And it pretty much has become the economy now, apart from some stuff going into China, which they're still kind of friends with. They just use their people as capital now to try and get foreign exchange, which is the gold dust for them. Going back all the way to the 60s and 70s when Kim Il-sung, the godfather of this mathia,

He basically ditches like the Soviets and ditches the Chinese and their views of communism. He's like, I'm going to go full out despot cult of personality. This is going to be a country that revolves literally around me and nothing else. And this is what we know as Juche's like cult of personality around the Kims and I guess a communist royal family, if that even sort of makes sense.

What? Yeah. I'm king now. I've changed the rules. Yes. It's fine now. It's okay. And so like from the 70s onwards, he's just getting sanctioned to the hilt by the UN, by everyone. And the way that they figure out that they need to make money is by getting onto the black market.

So they work in logging, which is the typical one out in the Russian Far East, which if people don't know, Russia is way big and it has a bunch of forests out in the middle of nowhere near Japan. which is crazy how huge Russia is. So the North Koreans use these false laborers, basically like nearly all of their wage goes back into the state and into the coffers of the dictatorship.
