Hereditary Communism

It kind of cracks me up that North Korean is a Hereditary Communist “People’s Republic”. So many of those words don’t go together. FYI – in the picture below, the big statue behind Kim Jon Il is the Kim Il-Song – the Eternal President of North Korea. Dead, but still President. Kim Jon Il’s 3rd son will be the next leader (Dear Leader was Kim Il, Great Leader is Kim Jo… what Leader will the son be????)
