Could anyone explain why the Kim family has been in power for so long? I am supportive of the DPRK and I like Juche, but I never knew the reason for this. Why them and nobody else? Is it cuz of their historical significance in the struggle, which may have led to them being so involved in the state?
Curious, based on this analysis, would someone like a son or grandson of Mao be held to such esteem in China, and why or why not? I assume he does have some living relatives, but they are clearly not in the public spotlight as much as Kim.
