Let's compare north korea, which is sanctioned by almost the entire world and gets bare minimum aid from Russia and China, and which has one of the lowest % arable land in the world, with anywhere in sub saharan africa. The region which has received trillions in aid from every other country on earth, and which is swimming in natural resources and arable land. And when north korea did have a famine in the 90s and early 00s, the aid from the international community for that was actually spread about the country (contrary to popular belief), and the Koreans had a sense of pattern recognition to start planting hardy potatoes and wheat instead of relying on rice imports. Africans lack such ingenuity innately.
Criticize north korea all you want. It's a much better place to live in than every black country in africa. With much more severe pressure from outside sources and which is naturally much more disadvantaged by geography and climate. The difference is that Koreans aren't retarded, this is the biggest difference of all.

True... the West likes to propagandize N. Korea as being a totalitarian hellhole, but if you look at their streets, there is not a single nog, jeet or Arab among them, and the streets are spotless. They might be many things but atleast they're not multicultural, which is unquestionably the worst fate to befall a nation.
The west hates north korea because north korea is fascistic. The west hates every fascistic country that isn't Israel.
The biggest lie about north korea is that it's starving. It isn't and it hasn't been starving in over 20 years, by any metric. This is insidious not just because it's a lie but also because it's directly exploiting something that actually happened (because at one point NK was reliant on soviet food, no soviets meant no food) but this was effectively recovered from by agricultural reforms that fully took advantage of the little bit of arable land that NK has. The whole point of juche autarky is largely a lesson from that and making sure that it never happens again, which it likely will not, because the state run agricultural program has revamped its methods for food distribution.
If anyone thinks that agricultural autarky isn't important, southern italy had cyclical catastrophic famines (the reason why there are so many Sicilian descendants in the US) until mussolini made italy agriculturally independent in the 20s. Mostly by employing methods that north korea employed later in history. Everyone who criticizes self sufficiency doctrine is fucking retarded.

North Korea would be pretty solid if there weren't 6 million trade embargoes against it. Plus, from what I understand, Kim Jong-un has implemented fascistic style economics in the country similar to china's, so it's doing much better in that regard than in the past. Unfortunately for north korea, its geography makes it impossible for it to truly thrive without trade. Can it function well? Yes, that's the point of juche, north korea is doing 1000x better than anyone else could in its circumstances, but it can never be at the top of QoL standards like neighboring china or pre-chaebol dominated south korea (modern day ROK is a depressing and burnt out dystopia) because of where it is on the planet. That being said, north korea is doing *extremely* well in spite of its circumstances thanks to juche.

But if you gave me the choice between North Korea or any country in Africa, I would pick North Korea.
