The DPRK is actually democratic though, did you mean to compare them to the comprador bourgeois dictatorship of “south Korea”?
Nah, I didn't understand quite who I was talking to, and chose a frame a Liberal would take the way you're taking it.
But when you're talking about Democracy within a single party? An American isn't going to understand the party as a structure to unify all, they're going to take it as the domination of one Camp over another. And that's something I need Communists to take from that same statement.
An American is not going to see anything they recognize as Democracy in the DPRK. Especially when three leaders in a row are named Kim, we're going to see a Monarchy.
Is that reality? I don't have the access to know. But I have read enough Kim Il Sung to realize how much of their theory really isn't that different from anything else leftist, just presented in a way that fit the moment for the Korean people.
So you knew what you said was incorrect but said it anyway. You shouldn’t do that, it’s just going to cause confusion.
