      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.
