N. Korea is so isolated... what is North Korea?

North Korea is actually a chicken salad sandwich guys.
Just because North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union after Japan lost control over Korea in WW2, doesn't make it communist. There's no evidence within the last decade or so that North Korea actually is communist.

Because they dropped all evidence and ties with communism in 2002??

The article you linked doesn't have evidence that they are no longer communist. And I have to guess without much evidence that the state owns and controls everything and the people get whatever the government decides to give them. It is obviously a dictatorship but the previous sentence alone makes it more similar to communism than capitalism. And I think that's what's being argued by Raskell.
Perhaps not true communism, but again true communism is very hard to achieve. I would say N. Korea is similar enough to communism to be counted in this poll as such.

Thanks for this. A monarchy does fit a lot better than communism. One guy rules all and all others are pretty much slaves.

The family monarchy ruling can be argued as a point against it actually being communist, as it is being run by a family of 'royalty' as such. The rulers are most likely getting most of the money and giving citizens the same amount, far little than what they are holding back themselves, thus it can also be argued that it's not communism. But like Raskell said, we do not have enough resources to truly say whether that is actually the case, as so little is known about North Korea from the past decade.
It is fairly easy to look at the split of Korea and, when seeing that the US backed South Korea and the Soviet Union backed North Korea, think that North Korea + Soviet Russia = Communism, when from what we do know, that is not how they run the country.
Regardless, we can say that North Korea's leader seems to hate the West.

..... ok ... so these "facts" youve been talking about were actually opinions?
north korea is a dictatorship. there is a big class division and resources are not shared in a communist way. it is authoritarian, which to some means communist, but economy wise it isnt communist.
if we are doing the communism and socialism link too i would personally not say that north korea is socialist considering the human rights situation in the country but maybe im wrong and the democratic republic of north korea is actually a socialist and communist nation! maybe they are even a democracy, y'know, since we are doing opinions and not facts ....

(I went to bed, 2sleepy2post more lol)The leader and leaders of N. Korea are unstable, reckless, insane, moronic, selfish, and bad leaders.
What even are cocoa puffs? What does that have to do with him being a bit of a whack job?
Plus, there are plenty of bad leaders in Western countries too, such as Donald Trump... Donald Trump and Donald Trump
Eisenhower did **** all too. Churchill was lazy, George Washington started slavery and let us never forget about Hitler, who North Korea's leader seems to worship. (I saw a BBC report that stated that he frequently recreated Hitler's invasion of Poland, but I'm not sure how reliable it is)

It's just a phrase. In the cocoa puffs commercials the bird is crazy/"coo coo for cocoa puffs" and people use the phrase to mean someone is crazy.
