North Korea would likely not be a worse place than China or the US if their economy wasn’t shit. And a lot of that is literally just The Great US Empire (and its vassals) restricting global trade by gunboat politics since the end of WW2. Cuba has the same problem: Immense evolutionary pressure to harden their government against US-caused regime change followed by total exploitation.

I got news from you on their economy straight from the western media.

Ita hard to know anything about North Korea for certain but it seems to me the terrible economic conditions we hear about outside of North Korea were mainly during the 90s. Seems like after that the narrative was continued as a propaganda effort but it’s hard to know. There is alot of North Korean South Korean and CIA propaganda floating around and it’s hard to know what’s what.
