Admin’s note: does DPRK want communism?

In short, a communist society is a society in which the popular masses are guaranteed full independence


-Kim Jong Il in the volume 12 of his Selected Works

An interesting question must be raised: how does Juche idea envision a communist society?

We can categorize these in the two parts :

Politics

As Marx and Engels believe, DPRK plans the withering away of the state when it will be no more threatened by capitalist encirclement (like USSR, Albania or China).

This withering away is explained by Engels in Anti-Duhring as the replacement of "government of people" by the "administration of things" after State seizes all property in the name of society.

But DPRK asks the question: what is this administration of things? Is it a technocratic power, without any kind of political lines? No.

When an ideal society comes into being, the tendency to monopolize political power and politics will vanish forever on the basis of the complete socialization of the economy, culture and all other spheres of social life, and the overall socialization of political power and politics will be realized both in name and reality. The socialization of political power and politics in a future society means not that they wither away but that all the members of society become full-fledged masters of them. Only then will political power become fully the power of command of society and politics, the work of administering people in conformity with joint requirements and interests of society.


-Pak Yong Gon, in The World Outlook of Juche

What can we deduce from this quote? Simply that, by intense socialization of all aspects of society, the men will become managers of themselves and their common good (in short starting an ideological revolution). A communist being is someone who becomes a new human being, a genius in both manual and intellectual labor, capable of mastering himself and society, without use of a class dictatorship and a party exercising it.

Economics

The goal of a communist society, outside of continuing complete socialist society (all-people ownership, abolition of commodity production and money) is mostly production to each according to his needs. This is based on higher productivity and advancement of ideological Revolution.

The most important economic problem that must be solved in order to consolidate and develop a completely victorious socialist society and transition to communism is, above all, to create conditions for distribution based on demand.

We must accelerate the technological revolution and elevate production to a high scientific and technological level. To this end, production processes must be mechanized, automated, robotized and computerized. This will eliminate the distinction between mental and physical labor by reducing people’s physical strength in production. Furthermore, by ensuring that the economy can be managed and operated only by producers with high levels of knowledge and skill, it will stimulate the improvement of producers’ technical skills, making physical labor no different from the mental labor of engineers and specialists.


-Juche Political Economy Textbook.


So we can conclude by stating that communist society as envisioned by DPRK is at the same time very similar to the orthodox Marxist idea (classless society, withering away of state, abolition of mental/labor differences, to each according to his needs) while removing the technocratic and economist ideas of Marxism.

This is up to you to see if this is compatible with what you would call a communist society.
