sounds like a hated enemy

No, it's our Great Leader. We all love and support him.

The thing in the middle is a brush, not a spear.

Cao de Benós founded the Korea Friendship Association in 2000, purchasing and establishing his privately owned domain name which whilst claiming to be officially sanctioned is privately owned and registered in his name.[2][6] All official government and ministerial sites of North Korea have the .kp domain and, given the WHOIS record for KFA's website points towards it being the personally owned domain of Cao de Benós, there is doubt about its claim to be the "official web page of DPR of Korea" and thus Cao de Benós's claims of his actual status in North Korea's hierarchy.[2][7] - Wikipedia (Alejandro Cao de Benós)

As most have pointed out, this is seemingly just some guys little passion project

.com - why is it not using .kp?

The Korean Friendship Association is not hosted or based in Korea. It's a pro-juche propaganda outlet that is basically entirely run by an infamous Spanish tankie, Alejandro Cao de Benós. It is though widely known that he has contacts within the North Korean state and it has also been suspected that they use his organization as a smuggling and money laundering front.

Hammer and Sickle as sides + spear up middle.

It's a brush, specifically a calligraphy brush. It's meant to symbolize intelligentsia the same way the hammer symbolizes workers and the sickle symbolizes peasants.
