re: #165 Lidane

Isn’t it also a cult of personality? Or was that limited to Kim Jong Il?

It’s all together. It can no longer be called a communist state. E.g. the Soviet commies were internationalists at least formally (all the while performing ethnic cleansings), but NK is officially an anti-multiracial, anti-multiethnic, ultranationalist, apartheid regime. Its ideology grew from communism but has long ago replaced it.
