The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is definitely a democratic republic.

No because they are not inspired by democratic republicans and they do not have democratic republican policies. Read me whole comment next time.

Critical thinking needs a bit of work there buddy. That’s exactly my point: the USSR did not have communist policies, it wasn’t even based on communism. It was an authoritarian state-capitalist regime which called itself socialist (not even communist), much like North Korea calls itself a democratic republic.

Go to the Wikipedia homepage: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union

State Capitalism a term used exclusively by a vocal minority of leftists to gaslight, revise and no-true-Scotsman historical events to fit their ideological world-view.

Finally someone understands. Read the DPRK’s constitution, and it makes perfect sense. They are ran by a working class party and you’re free to vote for outside parties if they represent your interests more. Free/cheap healthcare, education, and housing. Working abroad programs. Many religions are practiced, and you may learn English or Mandarin alongside Korean to boost your opportunities.
