Since the comparison between North Korea and other dictatorships keeps arising, I feel compelled to note that North Korea is truly an edge case. Nothing in Western democracies, Middle Eastern theocracies, or even African dictatorships comes close to the horror that is North Korea. They torture people for entertainment, without even a pretext. They kidnap children to serve as sex slaves for their leadership. They starve families to the point that parents beat their own children over single grains of rice. North Korea is such an extreme outlier that no other extant nation compares.
