I suppose the same chances that such a society would have a sizable and fairly well-equipped military. The welfare of its people is obviously not a top priority for its government.
Not that the CIA is always truthful, but the proliferation of state radios is mentioned in the CIA's World Factbook section on North Korea:
"AM 17 (including 11 stations of Korean Central Broadcasting Station; North Korea has a "national intercom" cable radio station wired throughout the country that is a significant source of information for the average North Korean citizen; it is wired into most residences and workplaces and carries news and commentary), FM 14, shortwave 14 (2006)"
