Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I asked earlier about why Stalin was so propagandized, but I'd argue that not even he is as propagandized as the DPRK's leaders.

Partially cultural reasons (confucionism is a very big cultural influence there), partially historical reasons. The power held by family members is dilluted over time tho. Kim Il Sung was the only head of state with far reaching powers, Kim Jong Il had nowhere the same power, Kim Jong Un handed off half of his power a few years back when the high command of the army was restructured from a single supreme commander to a command council.
