主持人Jack O'Swetsit与金敏贞博士就朝鲜的十大原则进行了深入探讨,金博士指出,十大原则是朝鲜政权用来剥削人民劳动、巩固独裁统治的重要工具,其地位高于宪法和工人党章。她认为,虽然表面上强调集体主义和忠诚,但实际上十大原则与朝鲜社会日益增长的个人主义趋势相冲突,这导致了对金正恩政权的质疑和不满。金博士还分析了2021年修订的十大原则,指出修订旨在巩固金正恩的权力,淡化先军思想,并强调核力量。她认为,由于朝鲜最近强调两国论,未来可能再次修订十大原则,以进一步巩固金正恩的统治,并明确将韩国定义为敌人。金博士还谈到了她对朝鲜意识形态的理解,认为其与基督教存在关联,但并非直接模仿,而是朝鲜政权对基督教思想的扭曲和利用。 金敏贞博士详细阐述了十大原则的实际应用和影响,指出普通民众并不需要完全记住所有原则,但他们知道哪些行为会违反这些原则。她还描述了‘生活总和’的流程,并指出其严格程度取决于居住地和社会地位,在农村地区,生活总和不如以前严格。金博士还谈到了她参与的SaveNK组织的工作,该组织致力于向朝鲜民众发送信息,并帮助脱北者。她认为,外部信息和新技术的传播正在削弱朝鲜政权对民众的控制。金博士还分析了朝鲜最近的宪法修正案,认为其中未提及金正恩此前提出的两国论,这可能是由于金正恩改变主意、仍在准备中或出于战略原因推迟。她认为,朝鲜可能正在逐步升级与韩国的紧张关系,并利用国际局势为其行动寻找借口。
