It's the Standard Issue Dictator Plan

Use the country's resources to keep in power instead of helping the people.

I don't want to give Kim Jong-un any ideas, but wouldn't treating your citizens well and keeping them happy a better way to maintain your power?

Doesn’t really matter with such complete brainwashing they don’t know any differently

The biggest flaw in my suggestion is assuming Kim Jong-un would make a rational decision which, ofc, is impossible for him to do.

No thats the worst thing you can do if the citizens are to busy working to feed them selfs there to busy to turn on you. The second life gets better there going to have free time and see how badly there been fucked. If there not half starved to death there going to have the energy to do more than just keep them selfs alive and think about fighting back. IF they do not fight back there far more likely to try to run away to China/SK or even hurl them selfs in to the sea and try to end up anywhere else but NK.
