Is the DPRK communist or actually just far right? And what does /pol/ really think of them?

North Korea Best Korea

Speaking seriously, North Korea is objectively terrible, but /pol/ sympathizes with underdogs and North Korea is the ultimate underdog.
NK is the end result of an attempted socialist state.
A totalitarian cult of personality that starves the lower classes and empowers the leaders.

They removed all reference to communism in the 1970's if I remember correctly. But that's irrelevant.
The country may not have the same authoritarian egalitarian principles pushed by generally marxist countries anymore, but that is also irrelevant.
The country suffers from the same fatal flaw as Marxist-socialist states: it acts contrary to human nature and defies logic. Success in the DPRK is determined not by merit or skill, but by loyalty to the state. Also the wages are set by the state and barely ever shift for the non-elite, meaning productivity is low and worker motivation is poor.
tl;dr: no, but suffers the same flaws as them.
The truth is that no living being outside of the North Korean government knows what is actually going on over there.
They are extremely racially conscious. Even mixed Chinese-Korean kids are aborted. It's basically communism, Nazism with Korean face.
DPRK hasn't been Marxist-Leninist since the '70s. They're your typical Totalitarian cult state with a caste and loyalty system that uses old school worker's imagery

Read this book if you want to know more about racial ideology in NK.
Juche is just a fake ideology, the reality is pure totalitarian police state.
