Three Caste System - North Korean Brutal Secret In 1957, when Kim Il Sung was struggling to retain control over North Korea, he launched a massive investigation into the populace of the country. The end result of that investigation was a completely changed social system that separated everybody into three classes: “hostiles,” “wavering,” and “core.” The designations were based not on the person, but on their family history. Those with a history of loyalty to the government were put into the “core” class and given the best opportunities. These are now the politicians and people closely associated with the government. The people in the middle are the “wavering,” or neutral class. There’s nothing really going for or against them, and it’s possible, though unlikely, that they can move up to the core class. Usually though, people move down through the system rather than up. The “hostiles” are people with a family history of such crimes against the state as Christianity and land ownership. They’re the subversives, and according to Kim Il Sung, pose the greatest threat to the government. Because of this, they are denied education, are not allowed to live in or near Pyongyang (Capital City of North Korea), and are forced into abject poverty. So, friends what do u think after reading this?
