Reports said Kim has selected his third and youngest son, Jong-un, 26, as his heir apparent and appointed him as a mid-level official at the North's all-powerful National Defense Commission, through which Kim Jong-il controls the military as well as political and economic affairs. Fascinating that in Communism, a supposedly "classless" society, succession by geniture occurs. Raul takes over for Fidel, Jong-un takes over for Jong-il.

Communism creates select few who are ‘far more equal’ than others.
