you know what? i'll just say it (unpopular opinion!)

north korea/the dprk should've been a de leonist country - if the soviet union DIDN'T go for kim il-sung, they should've went with someone else (regardless of whether or NOT they favor de leonism). seriously!

EDIT: what i mean is that north korea should've been a de leonist country to begin with (from the 1940s). seriously!
