In a country where there's no meaningful national culture except that imposed by the state, it doesn't make sense to talk about the typical North Korean perception. Plenty of them just don't think capitalist society is wealthier, or if it is, it's because man is even more oppressed there.

In fact, I recall reading somewhere that some middle-class North Koreans, because they have access to American movies, think American life is full of violence, drama and gunfights... I wish I could remember where I read this. Talking to a visitng American, they asked him how he could live with bullets flying everywhere!
