The problem rests on your belief that you know better than the millions of people in the DPRK That’s only true if you assume the government is actually a representation of the will of the DPRK. How am I supposed to know whether that’s true other than evaluating the quality of their democratic system? Though you maintain a polite tone, your actual actions speak against that What actions have I taken that are upsetting?

The government does not exist outside of class society, but within it. The classes in power in the DPRK are the working classes, there is extremely minimal private property and that private property is largely foreign owned. The structures in place were put there by the organized working classes. When you erase class analysis, or diverge from it by inventing new classes that don’t actually fit how we understand class, you run into problems. As for actions you’ve taken that are upsetting, I already explained in earlier comments the regular strawmanning and misframing you’ve done of my position, and the positions of others.

That’s only true if you assume the government is actually a representation of the will of the people of the DPRK Everything you’re baselessly insinuation only makes sense if you assume a priori that it isn’t. This is just you inverting your uninformed position and assuming it must be ours too.
