    Yeah that’s cool. Which is part of why I don’t get why North Korea gets any fucking love. I mean, times are hard for everyone I’m sure but aesthetics aside they don’t seem any more “socialist” than the “national” socialists. Even in all the dubious circumstances where a communist country had a presidential effectively served for the length of his natural life, aside from a brief interlude by Raul Castro none that I can recall have shown dynastic tendencies.

      The DPRK is socialist, public ownership is the principle aspect of its economy. It’s no utopia, but it’s far from the dystopian hellworld the western media makes it out to be. It’s entirely different from the Khmer Rouge and Shining Path. Additionally, socialist countries haven’t been “dynasties.”
