That was an excellent article. Thanks for posting the link. I've read that every household in North Korea is required to have a state radio on at all times. The people can adjust the radio's volume, but they cannot turn it off or turn the sound completely down. The radios broadcasts state propaganda messages.

that's directly from the novel 1984 by george orwell and is a patently ridiculous idea when talking about a country that looks like this at night:

The state must get its message out at all costs. I now remember where I read about that tidbit of North Korean life.

"In fact, except for a tiny elite, the DPRK’s 25 million inhabitants are not connected to the Internet. Televisions are set to receive only government stations. International radio signals are routinely jammed, and electricity is unreliable. Freestanding radios are illegal. But every North Korean household and business is outfitted with a government-controlled radio hardwired to a central station. The speaker comes with a volume control, but no off switch."

winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words were still distinguishable. the instrument (the telescreen it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely...winston kept his back turned to the telescreen...

-george orwell

what are the chances that a society which starves it's citizens and is dark at night hardwired government controlled radio to every household and business?

use your critical reasoning.
