Take This "Village,"...And Like It
Another kow tow to authoritarian (e.g. socialist) government.
As more and more victims of the North Korean Marxist dynasty escape enslavement, in their search for better lives (or simple survival) we can depend on other countries to keep sending them back to a likely fate of punishment or even death. This is an old socialist standard that goes way back.
One is reminded of Janet Reno and Bill Clinton's brave enforced return of little Elian Gonzalez to the Cuban gulag. In the eyes of Leftists, anyone fleeing a Marxist prison state is an "enemy of the people," or at least fails to appreciate the need for communal obedience -- Yeah team!
It's horrible enough that these Marxist dinosaurs still exist, worse yet that moderate state bureaucracies bow to their demands -- kindred spirits in homage to state authority.
"It takes a village" -- a commune with compulsory membership -- and it takes an inept state apparatus to keep the villagers in line.
