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?
The power struggles within the dynasty have been violent, with Kim Jong-il’s brother-in-law Jang Song-thaek, and Kim Jong-un’s half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, having been killed by the regime by execution and assassination, respectively.
Is that part a lie? Why are they murdering one another’s heirs and talking about successors to the dynasty?
Where is this coming from? There are no heirs and there’s no dynasty. Kim Jong nam was assassinated for being a CIA asset.
