Foreign Policy Magazine. Is that a well-known promoter of freedom?
I notice Somalia made their list, primarily because there was no real government there to "help" their people be free. Yeah, makes sense.
One gets the sneaking suspicion the real reason for this article was not to bash North Korea or Belarus, but to propagandize that anarchy and freedom are opposites. North Korea is window dressing in this article; Somalia (and therefore anarchism) are the real targets.
