https://hexbear.net/post/244410 from this post which had good faith questions about some possible racism/homophobia in instances of reporting from the DPRK, all well and good. Then a few people in the comments thought to let their liberal demons out and accuse the DPRK of somehow being a monarchy. Pure ideology. No real Analysis.
The DPRK is a Dictatorship of the Proletariat, a democracy. Stop being a liberal idiot and read some actual theory before defaulting to your corporate media propaganda.
I thought this site was better, but perhaps this is an isolated incident.
Edit: now the same people seem to be saying that the DPRK is Anti-Communist
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Kims have held less power through each generation, haven't they? There's something about how each one has had a title that's retired after they died. I'm gonna say stuff that I only vaguely remember so I might be wrong.
I believe Kim Jong-un's current executive position shares power with two other people, one of whom has a position comparable to prime minister. Kim Jong-un has a position comparable to head of state, his main job is head of the military and he appoints diplomats. He doesn't have the same level of power like his grandfather Kim Il-sung did.
I think Kim Jong-un has an elected position anyway where their version of a national assembly could vote in someone else anyway if they wanted, but they probably wouldn't because yes there is a cult of personality in the DPRK and it would be a monumentally unpopular decision, but it would be otherwise legal.
Yes that is true. I would be surprised if one held the office of Supreme Leader after Kim Jong Un.
