How is North Korea considered a democracy and not a monarchy when Kim Jong Un's freakin sister took over in his absense? (hexbear.net)

I see the point being treaded all over the place. Father, son, and grandson have run the country for 70+ years, yet I keep seeing people refer to N. Korea as a democracy. Is this ironic joke memes, or just something going over my head?

Because North Korea has a national government, and like all national governments, it is run for the benefit of a privileged few. North Korea is no worse and no better than America or Terf Island or India or any other state.

America has killed hundreds of thousands in the Middle East. NK has not. NK cannot be considered just as bad as imperial powers like the US.

True. I meant that North Korea is no better or worse in the sense that its national government exists to serve a privileged few. America is objectively a worse existence for the world than North Korea.
