    North Korea is a great example of communism in action - everyone in the country is starving and emaciated except for the top echelon who aren’t and the top generalissimo who’s a fat fuck.

      DPRK isn’t communist, it’s an autocratic dictatorship. When you see a democratic country controlled by a party, and not an individual, you’ll see a communist country.

        It’s a feudal monarchy. All three leaders have been direct descendants of each other. Most of the Party members are also related to each other. It’s worse than just “dictatorship”, it’s downright serfdom. It’s a stupid country and they get way too much attention from tankies for having “communism” as part of their branding.

        He supposedly got fat to look like Kimmy the first, his “grandfatter”, but ended up looking nothing like him.
