I mean if we take her proposal as true, i.e. people in NK do actually have accesses to all these services, then DPRK citizens enjoy a whole lot more freedom than Americans. Freedom of speech is worthless if you are freezing under a bridge, etc. Full employment is a pretty big fucking feat, and I’m sure 99% of people would rather be employed than be able to watch Western TV.
But, I don’t know if her initial premise is true, so I can’t decisively say if she’s correct or not.
none of these things disqualify the DPRK from being authoritarian
