Do you really think that they would pick communism over Starbucks and Walmart? I hate Walmart with every last fiber of my being and even I can't stay away from there.
But seriously, in Jenkin's book he tells of how theres a huge black market in American/European media/culture. Just about every home in North Korea has a Betamax copy of Michael Jackson's Thriller hidden somewhere.

As hard as it is fathom for us, who grew up with unlimited freedom, it is just human nature to be afraid of what you dont know or understand. Freedom is a completely unknown concept to them and it would not be embraced easily there. Look at Russia after the communist party broke up. People had no clue how to act and the country really did fall apart.
