It's very socialist of them to bootlick and worship dictators in countries where workers have no meaningful power! That's just like in the definition of socialism where the workers own and control things! :3 They are so smart and moral

Hugging someone means they can't be evil. Just look at how Bush and Obama hugged people while invading their countries.

They won't acknowledge it's literally the same thing, but it's weird they can look at a photoshoot, made by the government, and use it as proof he's misunderstood.

It really does come off as some strange overcorrection these people have

All governments do propaganda for their citizens, NK is no different in that regard
