Libertarians arent liberals unless you compare them to really ancient ones, they have hangups about the role of the state in preserving capitalism which leaves them laughing stock.
Literally "ex" cia being arrested on suspicion of espionage
Maybe shouldn't have worked for the literal fucking cia, perhaps the most concentratedly evil organization on earth at the moment.

North Korea 100% a dictatorial nepo-state.

Have you actually looked at the government structure of the DPRK? You seem to be parroting a lot of state department propaganda for someone speaking with authority on what "real" communism is.
Cuba, a poor blockaded small island nation, has a higher life expectancy than the global hegemon and richest nation ever
The USSR went from a monarchist backwater to a industrial society, defeating the nazis and sending the first satellite into space, in the span of 40 years.
