      What’s wrong with that? Without authority in the current world context, you simply get eaten alive. The DPRK has to spend a lot of resources into it’s military, much much more than then would like, because otherwise they would get fucking bombed back to the middle ages by the americans, again.

      Yeppers, based on the ever-present empire totally-the-truth about the “authoritarianism” of the DPRK or CCP or any communistic leaning government they don’t like 😁

        Just because some of the things in western media about NK are lies doesn’t mean that they are all lies and NK is actually a democracy or a good place to live.

        Read their newspapers you will never see them talk badly about their leaders the way they talk about them is creepy and cult like.

        If they were a free country they wouldn’t try to stop their citizens from leaving.

        If they were a democracy they wouldn’t have hereditary leadership like a monarchy.

        I’m not going to support a monarchy just because they call themselves socialist.

        Tankies keep making the mistake of assuming just because something opposes the west that it is a good thing and that anything you’ve ever heard about it is all lies. You guys are just choosing your preferred countries propaganda over the western propaganda you just want to lick a different boot.

          The dprk doesn’t exist in a vacuum, many of these policies are in place due the constant state of exception the DPRK is in due to US economic sanctions and US military bases in south korea, which they perform invasion drills every single year. I very much prefer how they live than how countries live after they’re bombed the US, e.g. Libya. And i cannot imagine a well read south korean being content with their position as a vassal, like it or not, north koreans have much more actual freedom
