north korea? i mean, especially from a comparative politics perspective, this really makes north korea an outlier with what we saw with the former soviet union. >> guest: right. i think that observation is quite accurate, i think, when we looked at the soviet union, when we look at the regimes in the arab spring, all of which have leaders in power longer than the former, recently deceased north korean leader. they all collapsed, and north korea continues to survive. that alone is evidence that no one alope in the system is empowered to overthrow it, but i think it's also just because, as you know well, the very strict controls that exist in the country, it's a society in which the -- to use the term "strong state" would be an understatement. this is about the strongest state in terms of the control that it has on the society and on political freedoms, and even in thought, even in the way peel think, and for that reason, it's very difficult to imagine that there could be a group within this society
