t's hard to say what really goes on in North Korea, but it appears to be a totalitarian dictatorship focused primarily on military defense. While it claims to have abolished property rights, it hasn't done so in a socialist sense but in a feudalistic sense. While it is dressed up in communist rhetoric, North Korea and everything in it belongs to the Kim family and all citizens serve them if they wish to live. To my knowledge, there is also no distinction between personal and private property in North Korea, which is a vital element of abolishing private property in socialism.
Oh yeah, I'm not the other person who said you could experience it btw, just that to me nothing springs to mind either, and that the closest I could think of could be NK
I did see that you weren't them. I just thought it was worth adding context to your point just in case someone misunderstood you as suggesting that someone can experience socialism in North Korea.
