  • Ah yes, South Korean interviews of North Koreans that have managed to flee the country- classic western propaganda

    Unironically yes. Russia literally does this with the right wing US émigrées that move to Russia because gay rights are shit there and "they have no woke", these people literally get paid to do such propaganda.

  • Let me do one better: what is your evidence that say otherwise?

    A society whose results don't match those of a personal monarchic dictatorship. For example, Saudi Arabia, a widely known example of a monarchy with absolutist power, has 80% of the population composed of immigrants without rights who get stripped of their passports and get treated as slaves. There's no public healthcare, no infrastructure for poor people (trains, public schools, people-centered urbanism...), etc.

    In the DPRK, there's widespread public transit infrastructure with trains and trams, public education for everyone, public healthcare, good workers' rights relative to their level of development, people-centered urban planning, collectivized agriculture... You wouldn't expect any of these things from an absolutist monarchy.

  • Your entire knowledge of the DPRK comes from western propaganda, I'm not the obtuse one here. Tell me how many times you've gone "actually, let's see" and tried to read something about the country? You're analyzing the political structure of a country based on 3 news shots from western sources.

  • What we have is he is the single most powerful person in North Korea

    I don't doubt this, but you could have said the same about Queen Elizabeth before she got in a box

    that rule and guide the country

    This requires more evidence. What's your evidence for this? What material reasons do you have to believe that the decisions come from Kim personally and not from the communist party?

  • From your own article:

    It is widely believed that Kim Jong-nam was murdered on the orders of Kim Jong Un.

    So, it is not factually known who really killed him (rather on behalf of whom), but that's enough to you to claim absolute power by the Kim family?

    I could mention the current old king of Spain (Juan Carlos the First) murdering his brother, does that prove absolute power by the Spanish monarchy?

    Also funny:

    At the time of his death, Kim's backpack contained approximately $100,000 in cash

    I wonder where he would find that kind of American money

  • Ok, now, can you conceive that the Kim family's role is more representative as in a constitutional monarchy (such as that of my homeland of Spain) than it is de-facto monarchical power? I'm not saying that the DPRK's parliament is democratically elected, I'm questioning whether we can, with the information at our disposal in the west, affirm that the politics of the DPRK are controlled by one particular family and not by, say, the cadres of their communist party.

  • Any president can order the assassination of people on foreign soil, look at the US under Biden assassinating tens of thousands of Palestinians in Israel, or what happened to Lady Dee at the behest of the royal family of England.

    But I'm not familiar with what you're describing in particular, could you please gimme a source to read on?

  • How's Maoism comparable to Trumpism? Maoism reinforced women's rights compared to what came before, reinforced worker's rights, kickstarted industrialization, defeated fascism in China (both the Kuomintang and Imperial Japan), freed China from colonialism, and doubled life expectancy. It wasn't perfect for sure, but any political alternatives at the time were measurably worse by any metric.

  • And how much political power does the Kim family really have? How much do we really know about the DPRK?

  • Would you consider the Netherlands or Denmark a democracy? Both have literal monarchies.

  • Life expectancy doubled during Maoism. People starved because millions routinely starved in China as a preindustrial country. Compare starvation in China with that of India during Maoism, and you'll see the tens if not hundreds of millions of lives communism saved against the alternative.

  • Non-db0 user, so keep that in mind while reading my comment.

    I had an alt account that got banned for posting news on europe at feddit that Estonia had just opened its first Isn'treali embassy. Another alt of mine is on hexbear, and it saves my brain a lot of cognitohazard not having to browse feddit fascism. I recommend defedding.
