Korea is a country that shows an illustration of the differences between two government systems: the communist Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea).
The North Korean supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, rules North Korea with the government system of Socialist State Republic. Socialist Republic refers to a society where the resources belong to everyone rather than to a small class of capitalists. This government type is very similar to one in Animal Farm, Animalism. Animalism is a philosophy defined by its seven commandments that encourage equality among the animals. Animal Farm also encourage socialism where “7. All animals are equal” (25, George Orwell). Kim Jong-un control the population by using his father’s establishment, Juche or Kimjongilism (a national policy of self-reliance). Similar to the Manor Farm or Animal Farm, the citizens in North Korea were forced to study Juche, likewise the animals learned the seven commandments. Each of the citizens in North Korea has jobs- such as farming, military, or finance- that they have to do to keep the society running.

The North Korean supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, controls the population by using three tactics: brainwashing, isolation, and controlling access to resources.

In the same way, the farm’s supreme leader, Napoleon, were referred as “Comrade Napoleon, our great leader”(George Orwell). The animals have been fed with the fact that ”if Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” (56 George Orwell). Many fed proclamations by the two leaders may not be true for the information they release may just be a lie to make themselves higher than others. In North Korea, the government keep its people “in the dark” where the citizens cannot read or listen to any foreign newspaper, books, magazines, or broadcasts.
