Yes but it is far worse aggression in North Korea, the people have been reduced to insects working for the hive. Most of them are what they eat, unfortunately. Most if them have known no other life and know of no way out, though a few do escape via a low key Chinese slave trade and can Coasean side bargain their way to greater freedom. This form of slavery is preferable for some to the form of slavery they live under.

You are what you eat in North Korea, or at least that is how you are treated.
Do you mean slavery like they work and their wages/salaries are taken and they don’t have control over their lives, the environment where they live and what they eat, wear or watch? Like in the U.S. when the wages are taken for paying for home (mortgage) and if a payment is missed the home is taken away with the money in the bank and you pay mainly by card and it’s difficult to get the cash out.
And although there is a vast choice of products, the products available are under control of corporates that also control policies including international ones and even healthcare with forced vaccinations and pharmaceutical companies controlling the medicines in the market for not talking about Wall Street.
It’s just a masked system eluding of freedom, if you think about it there isn’t that much difference.
Are you going to be shot at the border when you want to emigrate?
Do you have famine in US?
Can you be (officially and legally) executed at any point on someones whim?
I have read about people getting shot for no reason in the U.S. and rights are not for all.
There is a high rate of hunger in the U.S. too.
