True, I stand corrected. Obviously the leaders of the DPRK are elected and not rich compared to the rest of the country. Your evidence is overwhelming. There’s a difference between “true” communism or leaders claiming to be communist but actually being oligarchs. In my opinion “true” communism is a great thing but never worked until this day. The thing is, capitalist countries would do anything against a successful communist country, as it threatens their narrative. The few promising ones (Cuba for example) were beaten into submission or undermined by secret agencies. I’m not saying communism is bad, but that the current “communist” leaders are also just random-ass rich people (or rather, rich people, but certainly not random). In my opinion, the leaders of a country shouldn’t be rich. Actually, nobody should be extraordinarily rich, as wealth should be coupled to the amount of good a person brings to society, apart from universal basic income everyone should get, to live (not just exist). I despise the capitalist ruling class. Worst example is the USA where they just basically bought themselves a government, but the EU isn’t much better with the rampant corruption and lobbyism.
