This was legitimately a problem after ww2 where the politically active communists were more heavily involved in the war and a bunch of the human infrastructure of (especially local)democracy got killed by nazis
Citation fucking needed, do you even know anyone from China?
You should read capital volume one, it will explain how the problem actually is capitalism
The Cuban people literally joke that the government should be less democratic because of how much they consult the people, I dont think it is an authoritarian dictatorship and it is under immense pressure as it is 70 miles away from the imperial core and has been effectively blockaded for 60 years or so.

Don't call communists fascists please. This is an article from a mainstream holocaust historian that explains why a related equation between the two is harmful.
I would also recommend reading "economy and class structure of german fascism" so you have a better idea of what fascism actually means.
NK's highest legislative body is a multiparty parliament elected directly by the people.
"Oh but the communists dominate"
Yeah, because they do popular things and have a popular political program compared to the other parties.
Is it more democratic when no one party is popular because all of them don't help the proletariat and power is a hot potato passed to whatever bourgeois party fucked the people the longest time ago?
People live in housing though, which is distinct from land, and the thing they're claiming is static
Anti-intellectualism would require you to have more formal or informal economics education, you're calling electron fields anti-intellectual because you've only learned electron orbits
That isnt true, housing supply isn't inelastic. Houses decay, new homes are built, and landlords remove homes from the market to artificially constrain supply.
Also that isnt what the graph illustrates.
Yeah, you too!
I want to mention something though,
Soviet khrushchevka blocks are a trope for a reason
The reason they're a trope is because they were temporary housing built with limited resources in response to a baby boom after the economic devastation of the Nazi invasion and due to geopolitical events their service life was extended far too long, and while I would prefer to live in a communist utopia, a socialist better than how things are now sure does sound nice. Housing on average cost something like 5 percent of income (and income was guaranteed in the USSR) which is a lot lower than property taxes if you own a home in many places in the US.
Pretty dark joke given the post war famine that the USSR suffered due to the nazi rampage.
If the party was corrupt they wouldn't be executing the rich and powerful whenever they did a financial crime. Come on.
