If a capitalist nation is completely cut off from the rest of the world they become fascist very quickly (Germany, middle east, etc. etc.), when a communist nation is cut off from the rest of the world they become poor (Cuba, USSR, East Germany, etc. etc.).

North Korea (communist) got cut off from the rest of the world and they became poor AND fascist (well not fascist, they became worse than fascist)

And I'm sure you're an independent reporter from a neutral country that doesn't benefit culturally from propaganda making communism look like fascism...

North Korea became fascist? It's strange how that's what we call it when you fight agaisnt an attempted genocide by the US that deployed chemical weapons and bombed all major cities.
