It's not just "mainstream media" reporting that North Korea is a totalitarian regime. It's a universally-acknowledged fact.

We shouldn't use totalitarian means, to fight a totalitarian regime. If transacting freely without centralized intermediaries helps a rogue totalitarian regime like NK, that doesn't mean we should support powerful states like the US government imposing a totalitarian ban on such peer-to-peer transaction mechanisms.
