How South Korea built a city out of the sea
- Thread starter repo
- Start date
Getting rid of the dictator in chief was the worst timeline wallahi. 3 decades later and the only thing that's improved is a warlords bank account.
"While Korea’s current literacy rate is very high, at the end of World War II just after breaking free from Japanese colonial rule, Korean adult literacy was barely 22 percent. As such, all efforts were focused on literacy programs from the first days of liberation.
The programs were stopped by the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 but were restarted with the ceasefire as a nationwide campaign. In a large-scale literacy movement conducted over a decade from the mid-1950s until the mid-1960s, all organizations participated, including the government, local communities, schools and even the military.
All organizations that participated in the literacy movement reported the number of illiterate people they had taught throughout the year to a supervisory organization. The government would compile these statistics and present the accomplishments of the year along with the year’s literacy rate.
Regions with a low accomplishment rate were chastised by the central government, which gave them plenty of incentive to do better the following year"

Productive dictators are very rare, so they're not a model most Nations should bank on. Nations that hinge everything on the vision and brilliance of an individual almost invariably fail after their demise.
We experienced something similar when Dr. John Garang died in 2005 -- just 2 weeks after the CPA was signed; I was so distraught that I completely stopped going to church.
I remember thinking 'if God is just, why would he take away our Moses when we needed him the most?' 'We lost everything, why not give us a moment of respite and happiness?'
It sounds like an absurd exaggeration, but we genuinely believe that we would have been the strongest economy in East Africa, had our Moses lived; our centuries of resistance and millions of martyrs would have been honoured.
It's very likely that Sudan would have remained whole; the man was such a giant that millions of people came out to see him when he arrived in Khartoum, after the peace agreement was signed.
Even the core North Sudanese groups agree that Sudan would have remained intact had Garang lived; Sudanese Arabs, Nubians, Beja and Sudanese Copts all agree. God, we could have been a superpower in this God-forsaken continent.

That is incredible.
No Nation can rise without the heavy involvement of the State. Nations like Japan and South Korea had their own 5 year plans and we can obviously see the benefits of those interventions.

Do you have materials on Park Chung-Hee you would recommend?
Its really sad that north korea is 30 years behind them. South korea doesnt only have a better economy and a better lifestyle but south koreans are 3cm taller then their brothers in the north
North Korea can catch up extremely quick. Their literacy rate is 100%, their population can adapt quickly to a service oriented economy. Sxb you are talking about a population that created nukes and advanced missile technology with the worst sanctions in the world. Meanwhile we are painting burgers and drinks on walls to indicate it's a restaurant.

You are right they are smart enough to create nukes and other things but these are also the same guys that had a food shortage crisis. would they eventually catch up sure but not with kim jong un as leader and allot of people dont even wanna be there
This man is what the difference in their country, heavy handed but planned ahead. Smart to be fair.
Kim Jong Un is deemed incompetent due to his appearance, but he may be the smartest dicators out there.
