Yes. It is a typical communist country, in that the people can vote, but, they can only vote for one person-a communist. The leader of North Korea does not allow a free press, or allow people to have much control over their lives. North Koreans have been known to starve to death, or flee to China, to escape tyranny in North Korea. North Korea recently torpedoed and sunk a South Korean ship, which almost equal to declaring war on it's southern neighbor. North Korea is certainly run by a dictator and one who's mental abilities have been the subject of much negative speculation.

All references to communism have been purged from its constitution, but it has elements of communism, fascism, and leader worship. North Korea's political system is very different from China and Cuba. 3) Hong Kong, Macau: China communist/capitalist experiment state. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan: Democratic and Capitalist Nations. Actually, to clarify, Macau and Hong Kong are Special Economic Zones that are controlled by communist Beijing, but are allowed free-markets. China (mainland) is communist ruled but feeds off of capitalist markets for wealth. North Korea is a total communist dictatorship. Taiwan is capitalist, democratic, has never been communist, and is a separate nation with its own elections, president and government system, though China threatens them militarily to join the mainland.
