You are speaking of the examples of 'peasants' in this country - those who are not under communism at present but are espousing the behaviors and 'benefits. They know not of which they speak. Those 'peasants' already under communism, often born into it, would not choose it. Speak to any 1st gen immigrant here in US about their experience. Any of them.

Also, look at any No Korea event video where the military and citizens are raucously praising Dear Leader with the fake tears and cheers. We see those videos and we laugh but it's enough to make you cry for them. They have no way out other than suicide by their own hand or by that of the state.
