It's an absolutist monarchy with communist aesthetics.
You clearly have done no research on the DPRK to think that
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?
bushs, rosevelts, adams, clintons
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.
I don’t care if you are American. You’ve fallen for American propaganda.
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.
Monarchy?! Hahahaha, each is elected to a position that in actuality doesn’t have very much power. Elected. Show me where in the DPRK’s constitution it calls for a monarchy. You’ve fall for American conservative propaganda and fall hard
You are a certified full blown retard, I'm wasting my time arguing with your single neuron.
Awww is baby so sad they don’t have any points to make that they resort to pretending to use inappropriate words?
Awww what happened? Did you get out of lemmygrad and realise that people can hurt your feefees on the internet when you support regimes that send people to labour camps? :'(
They may even call you a bad word?! How will you ever be able to deal with that? I bet your life in the US is so hard.
I’m sure you’re a very mature person lmao
Mature enough not to fall for North Korean propaganda.
Enjoy your time outside of lemmygrad posting ignorant takes from the comfort of your home in the US.
Dude, you have the maturity level of a 10 year old. Once you see you have no evidence besides delusion you decide to pretend to cuss.
Evidence?
You presented nothing besides pointing to the North Korean constitution and believing what is written there. You also believe that the D in DPRK actually means they are democratic, and that somehow power passing from father to son without any election is normal and acceptable. Except if countries without a communist aesthetic do it, then it's a monarchy.
Just admit it, you are an American Gen Z LARPing as a revolutionary. It's easy to talk when you never had to live in a 3rd world country under an authoritarian ruler.
Do you not know what the burden of proof is?
I do.
My source is all the UN reports on human rights abuses.
What's yours? The Pyongyang Times?
Please provide a reliable source as with you making these claims, you have provided absolutely zero sources, reliable or non-reliable even though you initially made a libelous claim
Are UN reports not reliable enough for you?
Do you want me to Google search them for you?
Why are you mentioning UN reports now? You haven’t used them to show any proof
Why would that matter?
Are you going to refute the UN reports? Go ahead. I need some entertainment.
Why are you mentioning UN reports? You haven’t shown any that back your ludicrous claims
Ok, it seems I got the tankie bot stuck in a loop.
You're not entertaining anymore.

Have fun
Burden of proof
No
Kim Il Sung -> Kim Jong Il -> Kim Jong Un
How is this basically not a monarchy?
Adams Roosevelt Kennedy Clinton Bush
But ya, go off king. family dynasties are unique to the DPRK
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?
You don’t have to be American. You are defending defending the US by libeling the DPRK
Oh, so you actually believe that elections are free in Korea?
Please tell me more.
Do you also believe that power does not corrupt, and that Santa is real?
go back to fox news
What part of "I'm not American" didn't you understand?
I don’t understand the relevancy of your nationality. You’ve obviously been brainwashed by American conservatives.
Now you have to be a conservative to dislike the North Korean regime? Even several radical leftist groups dislike the it (e.g. anarchists).
Have you ever spoken with anyone that's not a tankie?
Anarchists are just liberals who pretend to be left leaning. Only conservatives reject the DPRK and downplay the great food that has been done for the people
If anything was ever done for the North Koreans, it certainly wasn't food.
Yes. They literally have their first leader as the 'eternal president' and worship him like a god.
Haha! Couldn't be farther from the truth!
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?
Umm, yes?
No, it doesn't lol Liberalism isn't synonymous with 'Murica. I know, huge shocker.
That's some grade-A tankie shitposting, though. 👏
