Rothmus @Rothmus - Video: North Korea ranks every citizen into a hereditary caste which ultimately decides who eats and who digs coal until they die. Through the “songbun” hereditary social classification system, families get sorted into core, wavering, or hostile class according to their bloodline’s loyalty during Japanese rule and the Korean War. If you happen to descend from one of the hostile class families, you are barred from Pyongyang and shipped to the mines and collective farms in the poorest northeastern provinces. During the 1990s famine, this ranking decided who received food and who watched their children starve. Pyongyang’s core class stayed fed while North Hamgyong collapsed. Kim Il Sung built the system so the regime could lock entire bloodlines into permanent underclasses with no escape. Happens when the state owns everything.
