Well, it isn't. Only if you take the simplistic approach of calling every totalitarian systems fascist, it is.
North Korea is closely related to absolutel monarchies, with god kings as it's rulers. Apart from the personality cult involved, it's got nothing in common with what we know as fascism. It also has next to nothing in common with the classic communist regimes we used to know in decades past. It is a singularity, as far as our contemporary understanding is concerned.
