Shouldn’t the role be “advertised” to other people as well? Why is it following the Kim family line when that seems completely against ML thought?

    The idea that the DPRK ‘abandoned’ Marxism-Leninism bugs the crap out of me. Marxism-Leninism is a scientific methodology that must adapt to suit the material needs of each nation. I remain unconvinced of any differences between the DPRK’s political economy and other AES states so drastic to warrant the claim that the DPRK is not a Marxist-Leninist (scientific socialist) nation.

      Yeah, it reeks of western chauvinism, there’s a lot of overlap between the “they aren’t real AES” and “I uncritically parrot western claims about their government being a monarchy”

      Or the standard ultra tactic of just dismissing them out of hand for not being “pure” enough because their material conditions aren’t ideal and they’ve had to make compromises.
