Not necessarily, North Korea is technically a republic.
It's not just a Republic its a people's Republic.
So you know like way better. That's why they don't need elections it already says it belongs to the people
They literally hold elections following a concensus process.

Sigh
Sorry you prefer to choose between bad and worse every election over reaching concensus in a constituent meeting and then voting to confirm the candidate in an election, but that doesn't make the dprk's system less democratic
That's a hell of a rant for an obvious joke comment
"Sigh" isnt a joke comment, it is a redditism
My initial coment was
Is the joke that westerners don't understand how dprk nominations and elections work?
Lol how old are you? That was a thing before reddit even existed. Just goes to show the tankies on here are literally kids larping
Yes, but it is also a thing I only see reddit refugees doing.
I've literally been politically engaged as part of a socialist org for a decade, maybe it is you larping?
You know, with the tankie thing. You're doing an excellent McCarthy impression, but I dont think you're actually on the un-American activities committee.
One of your last posts is about looking for a wife in a mental health ward, which is incredibly creepy, especially given you keep accusing me of having schizophrenia.

Yes, it would be super flattering for some asshole harassing me to keep calling me seriously mentally ill while posting about how they want to prey on women having mental health crisises to the point that they're committed.
Consider showing the women in your life that linked post and seeing what their reaction would be, you misogynistic creep.
Fucking tankie scum
Racist "believe anything the US says about a state enemy they've previously committed genocide on" bootlicker
Two words: Tienanmen square. If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you're a POS. And you do.
The holocaust
The Bengal famine
The potato famine
WW1
WW2
The Vietnam war
The slave trade
Immigrant concentration camps
Apartheid/Segregation
If you have anything that resembles a defense of that you're a POS
Imagine thinking the June 4th incident -where around 300 people died, slightly less than half of those people being unarmed PLA soldiers- can be used to condemn a system as large as China while every capitalist country has done much, much worse.
Hell, say the cultural revolution, say the post-civil-war famine, the way the cpc handled them can reasonably be criticized, and they are, by the current cpc.
What a piece of fucking shit
Yeah you're right, we've got to destabilize a country of 1.4 billion people over 300 deaths more than thirty years ago
Thousands of extrajudicial killings by US police every year? What's that?
No, it's not. They have a hereditary head of state who enforces his rule with control of the military.
That is why it is technically a republic, but not in practice. The constitution says it is a republic, and they actually have an election for the role of head of state, well "election", but of course in practice that is not how it works at all.
The US is also technically a representative democracy, but in practice, well...
I'm saying it's just a lying monarchy.
A pile of shit isn't a rose because you call it a rose. You're just lying.
Your reading comprehension leaves something to be desired. We are in agreement, you are just a moron who can't read.
Also I am not lying, I am stating facts.
It's not "technically" a republic because it has a hereditary ruling line. Period.
You weirdly angry goon.
Who was the third head of state again? (Hint, it isnt Kim Jung Un)

Now I see what they got defederilized from Lemmy, so much blatant malinformation.
They literally are federated with the main lemmy instance.
The hand job place near me is also technically a foot job place.
