Another Country Ditches Communism


North Korea just revised its constitution to eliminate all references to communism. Why? Well, it's just "too hard to achieve."
A South Korean pool report said Monday that Kim has expressed his wish to bolster socialism rather than communism. It quoted an unidentified official as saying, on the sidelines of family reunions at the North's Mount Kumgang resort, that the leader had characterized communism as hard to achieve. "Communism is meant to have a one-class society which does not distinguish the class that exploits from the one that is exploited. But it is hard for the system to exist as long as American imperialism persists," the official was quoted as saying.
You'd think that after the Soviet Union fell, after China embraced capitalism, and after this, that tinhorn dictators all over the world would get the message and throw in the towel. But, nope. You listening, Mr. Obama?

What!? You mean communism fails? Who would've thought?

Somebody needs to tell Kim about socialism, too.

While we're at it, why don't we explain it to President BO?
