    You don’t need to do a very good illustration job for people to associate NK with famine, abject poverty, and an oppressive regime. The pictures do an alright job at that, and everyone understands what this meme really says: NK can’t feed its citizens, SK is rich and prosperous almost beyond belief, especially considering that NK had a big head start after the war.

    Like c’mon, this is just the wrong meme to post in “the right can’t meme”. In fact “capitalism prosperous, communism poor” is a 60+ year old meme at this point. Maybe we should start articulating capitalism’s own problems through memes rather than stupidly “dunk” on capitalists for touting what is arguably capitalism’s greatest success story.
