I see the point being treaded all over the place. Father, son, and grandson have run the country for 70+ years, yet I keep seeing people refer to N. Korea as a democracy. Is this ironic joke memes, or just something going over my head?

    In 2013, Clause 2 of Article 10 of the new edited Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System adopted by the government, states that the Party and revolution must be carried "eternally" by the "Baekdu bloodline".

    The fuck is that shit?

      Why do you keep posting out of context snippets of ... something? Where is this from? I don't know very much about North Korea, but I do know bad faith internet argumentation when I see it and out of context snippets where you don't even give the source gives off major bad faith vibes to me.

          Chosun Ilbo, or as Adam Johnson calls it, the South Korean equivalent of Breitbart.
