North Korea is democratic - it's right there in the "DPRK" name. Does it also call itself communist? Then it must be!

They’re not communist because they call themselves communist, they’re communist because communists agree with what they do. Stealing other people’s things, censoring opposing opinions, killing people they don’t like and making it illegal to leave are all very communist ideas. Seemingly the only thing communists don’t like about these “not true communist” countries is that they weren’t successful.

Are you high or stupid or something? None of those are "communist ideas".

They’re ideas that communists support. Let’s start with the first one, do communists support shoplifting? That’s a yes or no question.
