Shouldn’t the role be “advertised” to other people as well? Why is it following the Kim family line when that seems completely against ML thought?
In my view, it’s perfectly valid to criticize the fact that the Kim family has been in charge the whole time. However, I don’t think that’s at odds with having critical support for DPRK.
yeah I think disallowing immediate family (if not more) from holding public power is something every political system newer than “divine right of kings” should do. Hardly anyone whining about north korea gives a shit that the united states went bush - clinton - bush into another clinton being the presumptive candidate and our elections are probably less legitimate than the dprk.
something something royal family something something usual decadence, two of them.
Completely disallowing a public official’s family from holding public office is undemocratic. If people want a specific person elected to a certain position, why shouldn’t it be allowed because of their family?
This issue is resolved by making public office less of a privilege and more of a job, which as far as I know is what has happened over time in the DPRK.
you literally answered your own question lol
. It’s not undemocratic to protect the candidate pool from nepotism and privilege. even if it’s “just a job” you make social connections and have access to people and institutions that normal people don’t.
how many regular north koreans who weren’t the children of politicians are sent to foreign universities?
