North Korea's economy is a joke. It has the type of government that wont last long .
dictatorship
communist, as does Cuba, Laos, China, and North Korea
North Korea is a one-party, socialist, and dictatorial state. The official political ideology of North Korea is called Juche, a combination of Marxist-Leninist principles and self-reliance/self-dependence.
China and Cuba are both Communist states led by their respective Communist parties, while North Korea is a Stalinist-style Single Party State led by it's "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il.The type of government found in China is that which combines democratic ideals, federalism, socialism, and authoritarianism.
Officially, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (commonly known as "North Korea" and "Korea DPR") operates under a Juche socialist republic-type government, not a communism. However, in the eyes of the outside public, North Korea is a communist country and, in some extreme views, a Dictatorship.A Juche-style government relies heavily on the motto of "self-dependence". Because of this, North Korea is an extremely isolated nation, torn from the outside world. And, as a result, North Korea's economy reflects on this.
Realistically speaking, it's a relatively banal form of absolute (or totalitarian) dictatorship.
