Listen, I know you are desperate to argue and defend the DPRK, but I try not to argue with bad faith actors online. You either believe NK citizens saying this or you don’t, and if you don’t you’re either acting in bad faith or a fool, and I try not to argue with either.
-
I believe the DPRK citizens who live in the DPRK and who weren't paid off by old ROK/USA. That Al Jazeera article is pure propaganda and not reflective of the actual system of democracy in the DPRK at all.

Your heart is filled with hate and your mind is filled with trash.

Are you seriously arguing this?
-
Buddy, I know a lot more about the DPRK than you. Unlike y'all, I actually do real research rather than rely on lying propagandistic media outlets.
-
Haaaa, ok, please tell us more about that paragon of democracy... are you on drugs or just stuck under an iron fist?
-
Related: what do you think would happen to you if you went to the DPRK, got on a train, and started passing out flyers that said: “The Party is corrupt & supreme power shouldn’t go from father to son like it does in a monarchy. Let’s meet up at my house to organize!”?
-
Same thing that would happen in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Indonesia, Myanmar, Georgia or South Korea if you were to attempt to start a communist party.
-
Would you say that indicates a /high/ or /low/ level of democracy in those countries? P.S. I’m genuinely curious here, and not asking as a gotcha: how do you justify the dynastic transfer of power from Kim to Kim to Kim? Building socialism in one family? :D Seriously, how?
-
It’s an imposition on democracy, sure. That doesn’t itself alone prevent any of those countries from being bourgeois democracies though.
-
Because it wasn't a 'dynastic' transfer of power. They have different jobs. Power has been steadily transferred out of the executive and Kim Jong Un shares the executive branch with 2 other people, the president Kim Yong Nam and premier Pak Pong-ju.

You’re obviously brainwashed by the DPRK propaganda machine which is in itself imperialist. The DPRK conveys no elements a functioning democracy would have -Neutral judiciary, multi- partisan politics and pluralism, third party vote counters and freedom of expression.
