    The DRPK is democratic because it has the word “democratic” in it’s name.

    How is fascism related to workers having control over the means of production?

        Not trying to start shit, but the DPRK seems democratic in a similar sense to how the US is “democratic”, i.e. a kneecapped electoral system that is vulnerable to the whims of tyrants and plutocrats. A functioning democratic system shouldn’t have the same family at the head for 80 years. Again similar parallels to America, where several political dynasties have had varying degrees of influence for most of our history. Happy to be proven wrong here but I just don’t really consider single (or two) party systems to be worthwhile/aspirational democratic systems
