I'm quoting this one from wikipedia, since it's pretty much a better version of what I'd say anyway: "Although the DPRK officially describes itself as a Juche Korean-style socialist state and elections are held, it is widely considered a dictatorship that has been described as totalitarian and Stalinist with an elaborate cult of personality around the Kim family. " |

Also, you gotta love the name "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" So it's a democratic republic that's also a dictatorship?
Geez, it's like how in the US it's a republic that people think is a democracy for some reason but right now it's more of an oligarchy than anything else. |

| Most "Democratic Republics" were dictatorships when they had their names changed to that. |

"there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated"
means there is only one thing as bad as exploitation and murder of workers and the casualties in struggle to revolt, and that thing concentrates the misery of multiple centuries of oppression.
revolutionary terror.
