The absolute cope in that thread

They have been leaders of the WPK but not of the country. The only member of the Kim family ever to lead the DPRK was Kim Il-Sung. The current head of state for the DPRK is Kim Jae-Ryong as of spring of last year.

Than why does South Korea only meet with members of the Kim family you fucking troglodyte?

He has even redistributed responsibilities his office has held. The DPRK is scientific socialism in action!

And the poster is fetal alcohol syndrome in action.

One of the big counterpoints I would want to make about this is that Westerners, especially, have an extremely narrow and limited view of democracy. To most westerners, Democracy means that once every 5ish years, the national leadership figure must be rotated out for a different one, and that decision is made by pitting the parties against one another in a competitive vote. To so many Westerners -- that is democracy, and that is all democracy can be -- and that is a terrible and shallow take on democracy.

Oh this is going to be rich

Democracy should mean the ability to control and participate in the decision making that effects your life. This is why Westerners have such a hard time understanding Soviet Democracy, because they see that it's difficult to remove the leadership the same way, and conclude it must not be democratic. Workers in the Soviet Union had far more control over their daily lives than Western workers. They could vote to remove an unfair boss, make decisions about company policy and operations, and their decisions and voting had far more reach and impact at their local, daily living level.

What parallel universe do these people come from?

This is true for DPRK as well - their democracy looks strange to us because we've been told that they dont do the leader rotation thing every 5 years (which isn't exactly true). But it's a really shallow and univestigative look at Korea, because the population is heavily engaged and participatory, but their democracy is based more around consensus building than two political sports teams duking it out in a television circus. So it looks strange to us.

Can we send these people to the DPRK and see how much they enjoy it?

They could vote to remove an unfair boss, make decisions about company policy and operations, and their decisions and voting had far more reach and impact at their local, daily living level.

That's not true at all. USSR life wasn't as bad as westerners think but this is fiction. And they didn't have "companies"...

u/fajr313 are you for real or is that some next level 6gorillion-D-chess-tier-trolling????

The truth does not fear investigarion.
