Is North Korea A Communist Country?

In 1955, President Kim Il Sung of The "Democratic" People's Republic of North Korea introduced the "Juche" philosophy in North Korea. 


 Even though "Juche" is not complete communism, it adopts many communist concepts, Including:

1) Independence in politics

2) Self-reliance in the economy

3) and Self-defense in military.
Kim Il Sung
North Korea's "Eternal President"




According to the Juche philosophy, there is NO GOD, other than North Korea's "Eternal President" Kim Il Sung. 

However, there are still some forms of religion in North Korea, including:
Korean Shamanism - 16%
Cheondoism - 13.5%
Buddhism - 4.5%
Christianity - 1.7 %
& Lastly, coming in at a whole 64.3% is those who are "irreligious" 
Religion in North Korea:
So, as you can see, even though North Korea is starting to branch out with it's religion, we can still see that the communist way is still lingering, so what do you think?

  1. North Korea is a communist country, and is in the world today the communist country that closest follows true communism. The North Korean policy Juche may not be completely communist, but it is pretty close. Also since true communism is anti-religion and the majority of North Korea's population is Non-religious than that show it is pretty close to communist.
