No one can say they don’t know what lies ahead on the road to socialism, because we can watch as others reach key milestones. Venezuelans have been reduced to eating their pets. North Koreans have progressed still further. Their government confiscates pets, possibly for redistribution as food.

Kim Jong Un’s order that inmates of Pyongyang turn in their dogs is characteristically couched in Marxist class warfare rhetoric:

Launching a clampdown on dog ownership with a ban issued in July, the North Korean dictator cited “western decadence” and “a tainted trend of bourgeois ideology,” a source told South Korea newspaper “The Chosunlibo”

Owners fear that their dogs may be heading to a slaughterhouse and returning as dog meat, in response to an ongoing food supply shortage.

Bernie Sanders says breadlines are “a good thing,” so doglines must be a good thing too.
