No country becomes wealthy on their own so yeah. At least it was fair trade and not colonialism

Yes, because being a country main source of income and lifeblood through control of policy is definitely fair trade. Or how the DPRK tanked when the Soviet Union collapsed as their lifeline had been cut off.

And for many decades now, South Korea has been self sufficient, with it's biggest trading partners being other Asian countries rather than the US. And considering the wealth and freedom the Southerners have in comparison to the North, I'd say they're much better off.

Lmao freedom? You realize an entire political party was dissolved by Park Geunhye and left-wing union leaders were being jailed? You think people in Jeju and Gangwon protesting the installations of US military bases in their communities without their consent are free? Lmao

Hmm, whataboutery. Yes, I imagine people in the North are quite free to criticize the government and the Juche system, oh wait, they aren't.

Even some Korean defectors admit that the government in Pyongyang is massively popular. But yes, the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland consists of the WPK, 3 other parties, and 4 mass organizations through which Koreans can engage in civil society

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_North_Korea … Yes, and yet all members must join the government coalition, be chosen by the workers party, other parties have no shot at gaining or losing power, and there is only one option on the ballot itself. The other organizations are largely facades.

I mean, a one party dictatorship of the proletariat is far more democratic than that liberal democracy shit. You'll never see fascists take power in Pyongyang like they have in Rome, Kiev, Budapest, Vienna, Tokyo, and, of course, Washington and Tel Aviv
