    Wasn’t Marx pro democracy?

      Yes, but I don’t see what you’re getting at here.

        Is North Korea democratic? Because it looks like a dictatorship.

          The “democracies” in the world are all dictatorships of capital

          They have approval-based voting, and 3 political parties. There are also factory councils for direct worker management. Public ownership is the principle aspect of their economy, and as a consequence of that they need to have robust and distributed systems for decisionmaking to keep everything running relatively smoothly.

            I don’t think Kim Jong Un was elected.

                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.
