They're not wrong though, especially if you compare to SK which is a capitalist shithole where suicide is through the roof. People don't realize how much we know about NK is flat out lies told by people who need to tell them in order to survive across the border. It's not exactly what you would call a utopia but considering how much they're getting slammed by sanctions, they're doing pretty well for themselves.
You know they have a relatively open border with China right? They just don't let people leave into the southern almost dictatorship(their military is still subordinate to US pacific command)
Also if you had the US conducting the largest military exercise simulating an invasion on your border every year you'd want nuclear warheads too. Especially if they've previously killed 20 percent of Koreans total.
Except they don’t? Any North Koreans who cross the border to China get deported back to NK and punished with hard labor or death

Btw the order to not have them outside of the DPRK comes from sanctions because of their nuclear program, not because the DPRK is forcing them back.
Because this would definitely happen with regular workers…
