People tend to have a tendency to assume that their values, needs, and desires are universal. But in reality they're a product of their material conditions. People internalize the values of their society as they grow up, and that shapes their world view and their desires. People growing up in DRPK would necessarily have different world view from people growing up in a western society as a result. For somebody who's lived their whole life in the west, DPRK would likely not be a pleasant place to live. But that says absolutely nothing about people who come from that society.
