I never posted any essays, I posted a scholarly textbook from a professor in China. Calling academics “random nobodies” because they live in China, and textbooks “essays,” is about what I’d expect from someone that doesn’t even bother to fact-check before spreading racist lies about the DPRK. Further, though, what evidence do you want, specifically? For what claim? If you give a specific claim, I can counter with specific evidence. The most I’ve said is that you lied about executions using tabloid media as evidence, and that the DPRK isn’t a hellhole.
Ah, that? That’s not a source, it’s just someone talking about how we define tankies and what the group that gets called tankies supports. I was referring to Roland Boer’s work as the textbook, Nia Frome is a writer for Red Sails, not an academic. Sorry for the confusion. In any case, “Tankies” isn’t evidence of anything, it’s a persuasive argument. Socialism in Power is evidence on the DPRK’s democratic institutions.

We were talking about the DPRK, we had moved well-past the topic of tankies. Cut the bullshit and address the actual argument, I already apologized for misspeaking.
Yeah, it’s gonna take me a minute to read Roland Boer’s book. Since you’ve obviously read it, does it contain any sourced accounts on human rights or election freedoms in North Korea? I’m gonna guess the answer is ‘no’, but I’m open to being wrong.
Haven’t found a direct account yet, but can you help me understand what this line means?
As for candidates, it may initially seem as though the DPRK follows the Soviet
Union’s approach in having a single candidate for each elected position. This is
indeed the case for the final process of voting, but there is also a distinct difference:
candidates are selected through a robust process in the Democratic Front for the
Reunification of the Fatherland.
The way I’m reading this, is that on a North Korean ballot, there is only one candidate for each role, and that candidate is selected by the DFRF.
Feel free to post evidence to the contrary.
One essay by a random nobody does not count as evidence.

You’re telling me that you did not suggest that I read “Tankies” by Nia Frome?
Get fuckign real.

The answer is “yes,” lmao. Please be serious and stop being deliberately insufferable and ignorant.
I think we hit a comment depth limit…
Do you have an approved media source for the current primary process for the DPRK? A sample ballot would be great too.
What happens if people don’t vote for the single candidate for a role?
