Kim Il Sung Quotes

• Desde que los medios de comunicación norcoreanos declararon que Kim Jong-il era la reencarnación de Kim Il Sung, no se había producido un intento tan descarado de crear una necrocracia, o quizás mausolocracia, en la que un pretendiente vivo asume el manto carnal del difunto.

• North Korea invites parody. We laugh at the excesses of the propaganda and the gullibility of the people. But consider that their indoctrination began in infancy, during the fourteen-hour days spent in factory day-care centers; that for the subsequent fifty years, every song, film, newspaper article, and billboard was designed to deify Kim Il-sung; that the country was hermetically sealed to keep out anything that might cast doubt on Kim Il-sung's divinity. Who could possibly resist?

• North Korea is a necrocracy, or a mauselocracy or a thanatocracy in which the one [Kim Il-sung] is diffused into being with the other [Kim Jong Il], and where both of them are said to have had miraculous births attended by miraculous phenomena such as, for example, birds singing in Korean, when they were born.
