Vincent AcelingStalinism or Hand me down??

Over the last couple of weeks Kim Jong Il the North Korean leader has been put on the world map through his total disregard for the United Nations peace treaty and his over ambitious testing of nuclear weapons. Kim Jong Il is doing almost everything in his power to be a self proclaimed Dictator. Some have even mentioned him in the same breath as Joseph Stalin, the Russian dictator who created an empire and left the world with his own version of political power, better known as Stalinism.
I for one find it absurd that the media are so easily able to pronounce Kim Jong Il a dictator, when he has not been able to create his own empire but found his power through a hand me down process that was established by his father, Kim Il Sung. His father still remains President of the country although very much dead. Identifying how preposterous power and politics seem to be managed in a country that is craving world acceptance.
C’mon Kim you’ve got along way to go, although you’d get an ‘A’ for ambition and a ‘D’ for progress. Dictatorship is a one man operation that is fuelled with autocracy and principles that are immovable once set in stone. Stalin was feared, rendered a mad man but still respected for his ability to turn Russia into the world dominator it once was.
