jfc you really found this in the sea of 400 comments.
the entire concept is corrupted from the jump. the government is comprised of people who violently repress any political dissent and the head of state was ordained from birth, completely immune to any consequences for his actions. the factory leaders are “democratically elected,” huh? good thing political discussion and elections in nk are so fair and free! im sure talking shit and voting against the party-chosen candidate has no consequences whatsoever. and if you don’t like who gets “”““elected””“” you can tooootally leave the job. maybe you could even move to another country in order to talk about your experiences! odd that happens so rarely, nk must be such a nice place to live that no one but those with this weird delusion of the country being a hellhole wants to leave.
i know talking to you is pointless, i mean, the amount of blatant propaganda you have to swallow to believe for even a second that the taean system actually functions in a meaningful way is absolutely wild, but the idea that their real problem is that they just haven’t “expanded” it far enough is laughable. yeah, no, actually, you’re right! they just need to hold actual elections to replace their entire government!
ive done this song and dance before. there’s nothing to engage. they’ve already edited their comment multiple times to say almost entirely different things. calling that party a “significant minority” is insane lie. if i linked literally anything from anywhere you’d just call it western propaganda. im not putting the effort in for you morons.
you’re literally claiming that north. korea. has a functioning democracy. get a grip.
Okay, well, if you feel like reading a book sometime, I highly recommend Patriots, Traitors, and Empires: The story of Korea’s Struggle for Freedom, by political analyst Stephen Gowans (he’s not a commie, no reason to be scared)(edit: he’s a marxist), it goes into the history of the Korean peninsula, starting from the Japanese colonization in the early 1900s, through WW2, the division of the country into North/South, the Korean war, through to present day, answering why North Korea (DPRK) is where it’s at today.
Here’s an article that goes over the basics of it all, if you’re not up for reading the whole book (but it’s a very good book)
Mods of large lemmy.ml subs are doing it in this very thread.

are you capable of feeling shame?
Are you capable of engaging with TB’s points instead of falling back into insults to save face?
