The definitions and functions of Fascism VS Communism. It is an outline of the 2 political motion of beliefs in which either or are suppressive of the people. China as well as certainly North Korea are examples of menacing horrendous Communism upon the people of the countries. Survivors who miraculously escaped have been outspoken of this. Especially during this month of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage the voices of survivors of this must be uplifted and heard all the more. Their stories are not featured enough in mass media despite the fact it is such a pressing issue that their perpetration is a violation of Human Rights and Human Dignity laws. The globe has been turning a blind eye to this crime against humanity really. Those speaking out and those a part of the North Korean resistance in their assistance in freeing the brave fleeing citizens may God be with them. Out of the 25,000,000 that reside within North Korea a minority number of about 1,000 ever escape successfully a year. It is not a high success rate for those who attempt to flee for safety and free rights.
