Quote:one of 50,000 workers that the Pyonyang regime “leases” throughout the world for a (very) low price to both private and public enterprises, according to information revealed by the Database on Human Rights Violations in North Korea (NKDB).Quote:What that means in practical terms is that 90 per cent of the workers’ pay is deducted by the government. But the regime’s control doesn’t stop there: workers are strongly advised against, or simply forbidden from, communicating with the outside world, and the regime sends its agents to constantly watch their every move. Their passports and visas are also confiscated. Our interviewee also told us that a bank account had been opened in his name, yet he had never been told about it and never had access to it.Interestingly, this includes firms in poland!, so, what has happened in Korea is that they have nationalised the workforce, and used them to get currency from trade.
Quote:What that means in practical terms is that 90 per cent of the workers’ pay is deducted by the government.That's worse than the government here deducts from prisoners allowed out to work outside during the day before the end of their sentence. The Prisoners' Earnings Act 1996 only allows
Quote:the prison Governor to take a deduction of 40% from an offender's weekly/monthly earnings over £20.But then workers in North Korea are more or less prisoners.How dare parties like the New Communist Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) claim that there's something socialist about North Korea. Insofar as they accept "North Korean gold" to maintain their organisation they are living off the backs of the state slave workers there.
