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?
how is north korea considered a democracy and not a monarchy when [thing that never happened] ???
She didn’t. The Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, the closest thing they have to a head of state in the DPRK, is elected by their elected legislature, the Supreme People’s Assembly. Same with their prime minister. Party positions like General Secretary are voted on by the party. Please stop believing the corporate news media that we’re all well aware lie constantly.
Next question.
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.
Raul Castro took over from Fidel Castro. Is Cuba a monarchy?
Raul was a hugely important revolutionary who introduced Fidel to Marxism. He literally just retired.
The media speculated that she would take over when they wrongly thought Kim Jong-un had died (again).
Damn wait until you hear about the Roosevelts and the Bush family.
