A lesson from actual historians: The Nazis were *not* socialists.
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.

Supreme leadership has gone from father to son to grandson. Y’know, much like a monarchy might. And obviously, no one person can run the entire state apparatus. All dictators need henchmen. But who has the highest profile? Do citizens go around wearing Pak Pong-ju pins?

I guess when you get right down to it, I don’t understand the emotional appeal of being a tankie. What do you get out of it? Do you find, I guess, a sense of community and nobility bc you feel that you and your buddies have access to a hidden truth that normies can’t understand?
