        He wrote that if the two Koreas were united under Pyongyang’s socialist system, people would get free housing, healthcare and education.

        Personally I don’t agree with the charge but I can understand South Korea for not allowing glorification of the north. Anyone that thinks North Koreans have access to universal healthcare and quality eduction are lying to themselves.
