Imperialism doesn't neccesarily mean conquest and wars. As a capitalist country they participate in the international global market, plus they're aided by Russia and China which are imperialist countries, just as they were aided by the USSR before

You mean they have factories owned by individuals in the DPRK? They have people outside the government directing production for individual profit?

I'm not being sarcastic; I don't understand how they have a capitalist class. It's not plainly obvious to me at all.

There are special economic zones like Rason with limited and controlled private capital, as well as foreign investment. A foreign business owner stayed and lived in the DPRK and wrote the book A Capitalist in North Korea: My Seven Years in the Hermit Kingdom.

The DPRK is one of the most overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned economies on the planet, but they do have limited private capital, similar to but less than Cuba.

Seems to have been helping them greatly with increased trade with Russia and China.

I think Cowbee probably gave you the information you'd be more interested in, but see also my other comment: https://hexbear.net/comment/6521585
