> When it is arguable that DPRK state is more a will of the people than the west.
It's not arguable, it's simply wrong. But to understand that you would have to understand much more about the DPRK.
> The elite letting the people choose between a few candidates is not a democracy.
It is, but more importantly, your framing is wrong. Every democracy has several levels of democratic institutions (local, state, federal etc.), there are often 'surprise' election winners; there are also non-elective ways for non-elite people to influence policy. DPRK has none of this.

I have never come across some one like you who knows about DPRK outside of what western state depts say and of course they swallow it all up. But people do sometimes lie and say they know so much like you right now
