        So the current guy in charge was not elected in a free election, and is the son of the last guy. And the last guy was the same thing… 🤔

        Tell me again what system is this?

            Again: not American, that’s not a burn mate.

            You’re also comparing a country with a flawed democracy with a country with no democracy at all.

            You’re either a retard, a troll, or the dear leader is making you work really hard for those food rations.

                You’re literally listing powerful American families and comparing them with a country with an enforced direct lineage from father to son. In case you’re not aware, this is called monarchy.

                Tell me: was Biden Obama’s son, and Obama Bush’s son?

                The American political system might be highly flawed, but at least they are not sending the family of the ones who dare to leave to prison camps.

                And if you say that North Korea does not do that, then you have fallen for North Korean propaganda.

        What I don’t understand is the “and humanize the people of the DPRK.” line. Who is dehumanizing North Koreans, exactly? This is about their government. Regardless of how the government achieves this, be it coercion or brainwashing, you can still see them as people, ya’kno?

        can a government simply organize that level of popular participation without the actual support of the people?

        Umm, yes?

        all it requires is some good old fashioned US bombers to tip things in the “peoples” favor? For a liberal this makes perfect sense.

        No, it doesn’t lol Liberalism isn’t synonymous with 'Murica. I know, huge shocker.

        That’s some grade-A tankie shitposting, though. 👏

        Kim Il Sung -> Kim Jong Il -> Kim Jong Un

        How is this basically not a monarchy?

            Nice whataboutism you got there.

            I’m not American, so I that’s not a burn, in case you were trying.

            Tell me, were those in power for decades, and then passed on their direct rule to their son without an election?

            Did they also create legends about themselves? Really absurd stuff like they don’t need to poop?

        Yes. They literally have their first leader as the ‘eternal president’ and worship him like a god.
