Oh, there's someone out there who believes it, or chooses to allow themselves to be duped because they are a credulous tankie and the country has "Democratic" in the name and how could a nation of heroic socalism and Juche be anything but a worker's paradise and Lenin said everything works by Democratic Centralism.

The same ploys seem to work in Russia and the USA to some extent.

You really think the political situations between the DPRK and the US are remotely comparable?

In Russia yes, to a lesser extend. Putin allows the opposition.

The USA is different. Two right wing parties (yes, from a worlds' perspective the Democrats are right wing too. Even if they are not so far right as the Republicans). The system makes it "nearly" impossible for a third party to exist and to be effective.
