What I saw was that there is some poverty. No surprise. Then he throws in his Western values about how "they don't know any better" and "the textbooks are old". So? The people worked together to get water. What's so bad about that? They have a subway. It may not work all the time, but they have one. There isn't a subway in Cuba. They have buses in Cuba and they don't work all the time. I've personally been on two buses in Cuba when they have broken down. In one case, the bus was going up a hill at max 10 kmh. People were jokingly saying that we were going to get off at the next stop to push the bus. Lol, instead of the bus transporting the people, the people were transporting the bus (In Socialist Cuba, you push bus!). OMG THE FUCKING BUSES BREAK DOWN!! :scared::crying:
Anyway, that National Geographic video is propaganda. If it's the same one I saw on Netflix, it's hosted by an uppity Korean-American reporter that is pushy with her Western liberal values. "Like, OMG, I can't believe that they don't have air conditioning. That is totally ridiculous." She didn't say that specifically, but I could imagine her saying that off camera.
About not being able to disagree, that may have something to do with their culture. Unlike Europeans, Koreans value unity, as the guy said. So, don't blame the "fascist/monarchy" for all of that.
I don't support the DPRK because I know very little about it, but I'm definitely not going to believe the lies told by bourgeois media and exiles, just like I don't believe gusanos and the bourgeois media on news about Cuba.
Now, it's my turn to be called a witch, er, I mean troll.
