My point is that that family are monsters. Pick any fucking negative word about them and it is apt. Dicks, assholes, murderers, thugs, criminals all apt descriptions of that family.
North Korea isn't a fascist country but any reasonably definition. The words you want are isolationist, dictatorship, totalitarian and perhaps brutal. It's all of those things. But it isn't fascist. And fascism is theoretically possible without a dictatorship.
Again not making the argument NOW that I used the wrong word. I admit that. But again, it is still like arguing the difference between Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey. Fascism without a dictatorship is mob rule by vote. But the end result of Hitler and Stalin and Un are that dissenters got/ get fucked over and at best live in silence and at worse murdered by the state. Ugly no matter what.
I think we are not on the different pages as much as we think. I got it.
