My new favorite hobby is calling tankies bad-faith imperialist shills and implying they're not communist enough (lemmy.world)

Tankies go out of their way to defend an absolute hereditary monarchy just because the Kim Dynasty says they are communist, defending China is nothing in comparison. They are the same kind of idiots as the ones that fell for the "Sozialistische Arbeiterpartei" (socialist workers party) part of the NSAPD's (aka Nazi party) name.

North Korea isn't a monarchy. It's a necrocracy. Officially the first Kim is still leader, despite being dead.

Sounds like a theocracy with extra steps

It basically is.

Weird mix between Fascism, and Theocracy.

Interesting read on this:

The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why it Matters is a 2010 book by Brian Reynolds Myers. Based on a study of the propaganda produced in North Korea for internal consumption, Myers argues that the guiding ideology of North Korea is a race-based far-right nationalism derived from Japanese fascism, rather than any form of communism. The book is based on author's study of the material in the Information Center on North Korea.
