When they haven’t had a Democratic Primary apply Democracy since at least as far back as 2008?
The D in DPRK is also “Democratic”. But when they have nothing but “Kims” leading ever, and for life? I have to question if that word is applied in the same way we understand it.
If you wanna actually talk that out? Maybe teach me something you don’t expect me to know?
I’m game. However, you might find I chose my words carefully when dealing with a US Liberal in a discussion on US politics. What, with shared Material Conditions.
If all you wanna do is hate on a comment you dislike? You’re welcome to choose which corner of the US-imposed, globally-projected dumpster-fire you die in.
Either way? Death to the Empire and rehab for those trapped within.

What makes you think you’re dealing with a US liberal in a discussion on US politics here, of all places?
Nah, I didn’t understand quite who I was talking to, and chose a frame a Liberal would take the way you’re taking it.
But when you’re talking about Democracy within a single party? An American isn’t going to understand the party as a structure to unify all, they’re going to take it as the domination of one Camp over another. And that’s something I need Communists to take from that same statement.
An American is not going to see anything they recognize as Democracy in the DPRK. Especially when three leaders in a row are named Kim, we’re going to see a Monarchy.
Is that reality? I don’t have the access to know. But I have read enough Kim Il Sung to realize how much of their theory really isn’t that different from anything else leftist, just presented in a way that fit the moment for the Korean people.
“Democrats” whining about the democratic process. How 'bout that.

I dislike this whataboutism, this shibboleth, that must be stated before critiquing the Democratic party.

A fair point.
The emphasis on voting, and openly running defense for Liberal politicians.
Difference is the DPRK has elections for these things
Inside one party where, I don’t see any outside body validating results.
Does anyone need to? Nah. Does the DPRK need anyone to validate their legitimacy? Nah, but it would be one hell of a flex on US “Democracy.”
They did the thing!
The DPRK is actually democratic though, did you mean to compare them to the comprador bourgeois dictatorship of “south Korea”?

So you knew what you said was incorrect but said it anyway. You shouldn’t do that, it’s just going to cause confusion.
