Night photo tells everything you need to know about communism

Consider, please, the pic below:

Surely everyone over age 20 or so knows what this pic is showing:  The Korean peninsula.  In the lower right corner is South Korea.  The communist North is the black area right in the center, with a few tiny spots of light in it.

This single photo tells you virtually everything you need to know about communism and socialism.  But if you're a leftist like Bill Ayers you'll cheerfully ignore the obvious message.

Why isn't the North awash with light, like the South?

Hint:  It ain't because the North just had a catastrophic power failure. 

It's not because no one lives there.

It's not because they just want to do their part to fight "climate change" (formerly "globull worming") by turning off lights.

It's because they can't generate enough electricity to light anything outside of the capital and a handful of towns.  Because they can't afford to.

And why do you suppose that is?

Hint:  It's NOT because the people in the South are genetically different from their kinsmen in the North.

It's NOT because the Korean war devastated the North but not the South.  (Both were equally devastated.)

So to anyone who thinks socialism, communism or an unelected government is just f'n wonderful:  Kindly explain the photo above, and tell us one more time why the ghastly system you're pushing on us is so great.
