        They’ve achieved communism. They’re self sustaining. The citizens are content. There isn’t any political divides in the country

            They’ve achieved a self sustaining agricultural base, a powerful industrial center, and a first rate defense military.

            Have you read any North Korean newspapers recently? All I see are new buildings, fast economic response times, a fight against the pandemic, and a condemnation of Western Imperialism

                Because the country is centrally planned, there is no class, and there is social leftism

                  what do you mean by social leftism? also doesn't the necessity of the kims leading the revolution sort of preclude the whole "no class" thing?

                    I disagree with the kims thing but otherwise there is no class or hierarchy

                      I really don't mean to be pedantic here but uh, no class does not mean some class. If Juche ideology requires a dynasty to lead revolution, it has inherent class and hierarchy required to enforce that class. I'm happy to hear disagreements or why I'm a fucking dumbass here, but I just don't see it

                        Well, it’s problematic. I agree. But otherwise, there’s nothing really wrong with them being in power
