I understand that the west has ridiculously high levels of propaganda against the DPRK but how do Communists argue with the fact that there is clearly some kind of family line to the leader role?

I still think it’s possible to have representatives who don’t necessarily amass wealth and privilege. If the problem is that politicians are distinct from normal people to the point of having this kind of privilege to share with their family, then restrict the amount of privilege afforded to them. Make them into more normal people.

I think maybe we’re coming to a problem that exists in representative states in general.

Being family with the politicians in power is already a kind of privilege, people from outside will want connections with the family relatives. Smooth promotions/contracts ect.
