  • i ran them through a korean -> english machine translation just to see how close i was to guessing what the image was conveying. the regional development one was the only one where i was even close. totally biffed the rural dev tidal farms.

    i wish it picked up some of the fragments, like on the map.

    • I've got to say, the slogan at the bottom isn't exactly snappy in English. Maybe it's better in Korean.

      I wonder if command economy propaganda has development problems because you don't have private sector marketing as a means to advance the state of the art.

      • Almost certainly true. The strongest element of capitalism is the massive production of marketers. By extension, this massive production of marketers also result in capitalism having higher skill in marketing. Ultimately the entire field is propaganda by a different name.

        I don't think anyone here will deny that historically capitalism has had stronger propaganda.

    • Best guess for the map, since the top is cut off:

      That all assumes I transcribed everything correctly and Google and DeepSeek’s translations can be trusted, but they seem to match yours.

      Edit: Found some transcription errors.

      Six hours of “농촌발저늬 새 벽상을 상징할수 있게 개변시키자!” when it should be “농촌발전의 새 변혁상을 상징할수 있게 개변시키자!” and not one DPRK supporter pointed that out.
