Ask HN: North Korean Revolution as a Global Community Project ?
You'd have to have lived under a rock not to have noticed the many and frequent horror stories of North Korea. And every times an article or a video report pops up in my news stream I throw myself at it. Having read much and varied coverage of the state and it's people. You can't help but to get angry and vastly hopeless at the situation. From a modern, western perspective a great deal of questions arise: How can the global community allow this to happen? Why is seemingly no-one doing anything real about it? etc..
Everything considered the only solution in sight, and one that has been lurking a lot in the background lately, is war. Invasion, presumably from the South, with American/International support.
That however, in my view, would be the worst possible solution. With NK's standing army of 1.000.000 soldiers, and possibly nuclear weapons, it would be an absolute disaster.
With great inspiration from other Asian countries, I personally dream of the day the NK people themselves rise against their utterly corrupt, delusional government.
My question (though long under way) is this: Do you think it is at all possible to create a community around the goal of assisting a NK revolution ?
Note, I'm trying to steer clear of any BandAid-like thing, but instead imagine a bunch of smart people with insight and ideas coming together to create viable solutions to the problem.
May the power of the Internet and Global Community bring freedom to the North Korean People ! :)
