Simple: our establishment exercises a system of control more along the lines of Aldus Huxley's Brave New World, where as North Korea uses methods more akin to George Orwell's 1984.Why are we able to view this video? Shouldn't our government be blocking it? Oh wait, that's right, we're not North Korea, for example...

The film assumes that propaganda and marketing are the same thing. The difference is that with propaganda, the opposing view isn't allowed. Just as people chant simplistic lines around Obama, the same thing happens around all his opponents. The difference with propaganda (especially in places like North Korea) is that the opposing view isn't permitted. Citizens aren't allowed to question the idea that Kim Il Sung is the savior of all North Koreans.
PLEASE take a look at this before taking anything anyone from the North Korean Government says seriously:

North Korea is a creepy, twisted place.
Lol Im shocked that perknose would defend this lol so predictable.Is this film over-the-top propaganda? Absolutely!
But there's more truth in it that many here would ever be willing to admit.
tl;dw? Click the handy-dandy excerpted links above. ^^^ Just do it. It changes everything. You'll be lovin' it. Support this post!
North Korea is probably the most hermetically sealed, total propaganda state ever. The disconnect between what they tell their populace and the truth is more vast, and their monopoly on any such info more complete, than just about anywhere.
I guess it takes one to know one.
There's a whole other side to the story this propaganda film attempts to portray. Of course there is. But this film also contains space station sized kernels of truth, which we all ignore at our peril.
Thanks OP for posting this.
