Don’t forget the sanctions. Sanctions against the DPRK are extreme.
And yet they’re still around despite the fact that “socialism doesn’t work”.
DPRK is a good example that socialism does, in fact, work. A capitalist country would already have collapsed under all this pressure; while in the DPRK, conditions have improved since the 90s.
Watched a good documentary titled My Brothers And Sisters In The North recently

Interesting insight into DPRK society though it did break my heart to see how those in northern Korea have to live who fought every inch against the Japanese then American invaders
While the cowards and collaborators in the south get their fistfuls of gold from imperialists
Without international sanctions on DPRK they could develop trade relations as normal with other countries
