NK unshackled by trade embargoes, and at peace with it’s neighbors, will be able to have a functional economy and hopefully will be able to flourish as a functional example of communism.

You don't really think that NK has an economic system anywhere near Socialism or Communism, do you?

Have they ever existed in an environment where capitalists weren’t actively trying to topple their government?

This is the irony of power and provocation, the bully forces the victim into a state of survival and the bully ends up looking like the good guy.

That can rightly justify some otherwise fucked up things… to a certain degree. The NK, however, has long since passed that margin.
It's clear that any attempt to establish a leftist political & economic system was half-hearted at best.

They don't even call themselves communist anymore. They removed it from their constitution.

They’re still called Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea...

I’m genuinely curious what/when they removed what you’re talking about from their constitution.
