North Korea - Children of the Secret State

North Korea demonstrates communism in its truest form--strong-arm dictatorship totalitarianism. Sure, I know Marx had other ends in mind when he browbeat all the others in his circle who disagreed with him. He had the noblest ends in mind when he forced his views on his fellows. Lenin had nobler ends in mind as well. My question is: who has the courage to step in and call the experiment what it is--an abysmal failure?
