NYPost - Is your rent due? Not in North Korea

“Is your rent due? Not in North Korea,” Nodutdol’s April 1 Instagram post boasts to its 42,000 followers, alongside an idyllic picture of children happily playing in the snow in front of a modern, residential apartment building that looks strikingly American-style.

Nodutdol, a Midtown-based group whose name means stepping stone in Korean, has worked to radicalize American leftists into supporting North Korea through their mutual hatred of “US imperialism.” The social media post goes on to slam US capitalism for “manufacturing a housing crisis at home.”

“Things don’t have to be this way, and socialist countries are proof of that,” it says before showing images of 163,000 recently built housing units in capital Pyongyang and rural areas across the country.

But in reality, housing in the land of dictator Kim Jong Un is built by the state and allocated based on job, status and loyalty to the regime — with organizations like Human Rights Watch finding that “the North Korean government systematically violates…the right to adequate standard of living.”
