DPRK is a 'democratic' government.
In China, land is leased, property and wealth is private, Singapore is a good example where the majority of land is leased. This way nobody can hoard land for generations as in the case of pre 1949 China and currently India, that's why you don't see slave farmers in China where they work on rented land, forever tied to this predicament. You know why you don't see the kind of poverty in China? People in the rural areas actually own the land they farm, the house they live. The case is opposite in India, it is ripe for Maoist revolutions, but their education level is too low to understand revolution, I have a feeling the elite class is trying to keep it that way.
The house on the land belongs to you, the car you own belongs to you, the computer in your house belongs to you, the money in your bank belongs to you. So how do you call that communism?
