I knew something was going on when N, Korea and S. Korea agreed to send just one Olympic team to represent all of Korea at the Olympics.
Us boomers can remember when there was a E. Germany a communist dictatorship where the people had shortages of everyday items like FOOD etc. This is because of the basic flaw in communist philosophy, controlling the people suppresses creativity. While across the border in W. Germany, any need the people want is quickly filled by entrenepeurs willing to take the risk to fill the need and profit from it.
Eventually the people in the communist countries look across the border and see a well fed and prosperous people on the whole, while they have to live under the threat of starvation.
This is what is happening in N. Korea. How long can a repressive regime last if the people have to eat grass to survive?
When America threw off the tyranny of the monarchs, that had ruled humanity for thousands of years ,it opened up the creativity of the average person by enabling them to be free to create.
And what did this new wave of creativity do for the common person. If you have the ambition and imagination, you can go from poor to rich in one generation.
Before 1776, The Declaration of Inderpendance, technology had not advanced for thousands of years. And then, from a free America, came the steam engine, electricity and the lightbulb,cars,trains,planes and all modern technology, all originated in America and shared with the rest of the world.
