That a union of nations that has been dead for 30 years is still tricking people with evil commie propaganda to make them think it was a fairly normal place, and not a pointlessly cruel hell on earth,
Or that the capitalist class, in the capitalist west, the US especially, the heart of global capitalism, would want its citizens to think that socialism never works and that the people should just resign themselves to a life under capitalism, the system in which they are in charge and benefit the most from? And so lie to their citizens in order to achieve this goal?
As I mentioned in the other comment, I’m pretty sure which is more likely because I actually live in one of those countries. I know the history of my country and the sentiment people have about the union. The regular folk who lived in that era don’t really have anything good to say about the union. I’m pretty sure people who lived it trumps whatever alternate shit you’ve read on the web.
Which do you think is more likely though?

Just because Yeonmi Park lived in the DPRK doesn’t mean her obvious lies about her experience trump anything else
