While there is something understandable about partially wishing for it, I don’t think anyone is going to lead a genocidal strategic bombing campaign against the United States to level every manmade structure taller than knee height before promptly having 95% of the planet embargo them for 75 years, so I doubt the US can emulate the DPRK’s economic situation too well.
I don’t even understand what you’re insinuating. The DPRK’s goal is to be sanctioned? They wouldn’t be doing things differently if they weren’t sanctioned? You know they violate the sanctions constantly, and often it’s just to do some small amount of normal trade, right?
I don’t like Juche, but the point of it in this context isn’t to avoid trading with countries, and indeed to considers it better to be able to trade with countries. The goal is to be able to survive not being able to trade in the case where that’s the unfortunate reality, something that was only solidified by the experience of the Arduous March. Strategically, it is obviously something they should be maintaining and one of the main reasons they survived.
Even the harshest critics of the DPRK acknowledge that it has universal healthcare, housing, pretty much no unemployment (if any), and at this point, food. The Arduous March is over. That doesn’t mean the DPRK is a magical paradise or anything, but that’s in a state that was bombed into oblivion and was the target of genocide. If the US adopted more DPRK economic policies, then it would indeed see the improvements Yogthos listed.
I don’t really think you’re owning anyone here, it’s just coming across as you jumping to insults when you’ve been confronted with an alternate viewpoint instead of trying to do any research or understanding. You just jump to “Marxism bad, Marxists unintelligent.”
Which is why the USA will be emulating their economy 😂
Why would the US do that? US oligarchs aren’t interested in being reasonable.
Money, always follow the money.

That level of isolation is the goal. Economic joke.

You’re right, Burgerland is an economic joke that’s becoming economically isolated globally.
I mean if the US did that people would have jobs, food, housing, and healthcare.

Complaining about “tankies” and picking fights as soon as you could isn’t nuanced at all, which is why you weren’t responded to with nuance.
I’d consider that an insult if I respected the political analysis of anyone who uses ‘tankie’ as a substitute for thought.
