My point was not about the presence or lack thereof of “authoritarianism”, but the comparison of the DPRK to the US. If it were only about “authoritarianism” then there are plenty of other countries very widely considered “authoritarian”.
Ironically this is EXACTLY the stance I take on the USA and the Trump family, which I am sure a lot of people in this community would agree with.
I think you’re rather missing the point as USAmericans do participate heavily in US imperialism, and reap the rewards of US imperialism. There is no North Korean imperialism to speak of, on the other hand.
