OK, so you are opposed to capitalism. Lots of people have taken that stance in the last few decades, and no doubt capitalism has caused much pain. But given the economic performance of what we actually know about the Korean economy (and not just what the tourist handlers are allowed to show you), capitalism beats communism hands down.

But the real disconnect is that you seem to care about the plights of poor people. Yet if a poor person steals a loaf of bread, or throws litter on the ground, you are all in favor of sending them to prison or executing them.

You have a strange set of priorities and values.
