I’m not “brainwashed” for sharing the opinions of the majority of major communist parties. I’m a communist, and my views are consistent with that. The WPK has the overwhelming majority of seats, but is also popularly supported, and does not have direct control over who people vote for. These are “tankie,” sure, they’re views shared by the majority of communists and “tankie” is just a pejorative for us.
I encourage you to look into how the DPRK actually functions, as well as its inception as an indigenous movement against colonization by Japan and later the US.

What sources do you recommend on how the DPRK’s government works?
A good intro is the prolewiki page for the DPRK! It also has a lot of further reading listed. The government section is rather minor, but links to the DPRK’s constitution. Finally, there’s a “study guide” that’s a huge compilation of resources to check out. Starting with those should help with understanding the basics, at a high level.
