                  I don’t think that’s true. He inherited the role from his father, as his father did before him. People who oppose him sometimes appear to die in mysterious ways, and he lives a very lavish lifestyle - not something you’d associate with Marxism.

                  Although his communist actions should be applauded, I don’t believe his heinous acts should be overlooked.

                  In my opinion, this dictatorship is not true Marxism.

                    Those positions were still elected, though. That’s like saying George W. Bush inherited the role of president from his father. “Mysterious” deaths are also often fake, such as the often reported execution of his uncle by dogs, which never happened. He does live much better than the average person, but Marxism is not a vow of poverty, nor does that mean that his position isn’t an elected one.

                    The DPRK structures their elections and systems very differently from the west, yes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have them. That’s why I recommended the earlier article.
