I said it because it was the best way with the least amount of verbiage I could use to describe how their top-down, dictatorship-like, inability or unwillingness to listen, it's our way or nothing, you're insane if you think this is a good idea, feels to me.
I wasn't for one second trying to trivialise North Korea's problems - in fact I was thinking more about the Soviet-era - and I find it odd that you connected the two, and found the time to pick out that one sentence and make an issue out of it :)

Recently the elections gave us a full liberal right political landscape in my home country and everyone is bashing the previous leftist and green parties with derogatory terms such as stalinism, gulag, dictators, etc. so the lexical field has been making me go on my high horses for the last few weeks because frankly it's not comparable. I'd rather label thing as they are when comparisons are too far fetched.
