Ok, heads-up, this will be somewhat off-topic to the current discussion.

DPR Korea is a self-reliant (or as they say, Juche) state. It is also one of the five communist soverign states of the world. Does having the quality of being self-reliant make a country communist?

Two examples. Take the Republic of Emmeria. Everything is functioning very well and there are no problems. Then, their economy gets better or something and they stop importing things. They can make do with what they have. Does that make them communist?

Also, with America. More "Made in the USA" products are appearing on the shelves. Is that going to come to a point where we can stop relying on the Chinese (or everyone else, for that matter) to make our products and be self-reliant?

I actually think I have overstated my point.
