Just a small example of what life was like under his rule...
Kim Jong Il, North Korea. This is the most ruthless and totalitarian regime in the world, by a good margin. It is simply in a class by itself. Every home has “the speaker” in the wall, to dish out propaganda all day, and radios can be only tuned to preset stations. If someone makes a political mistake, the whole family is sent off to a political concentration camp, and in the late 1990’s Kim Jong Il presided over the death by famine of some 2 million people. When the wife of one of Kim Jong Il’s bodyguards complained about the Dear Leader’s womanizing, she was arrested and brought out before the guests at one of Kim Jong Il’s parties. Everyone denounced her and then Kim Jong Il allowed the bodyguard the opportunity to execute his own wife — and he did so.
