Shouldn’t the role be “advertised” to other people as well? Why is it following the Kim family line when that seems completely against ML thought?

you literally answered your own question lol
. It’s not undemocratic to protect the candidate pool from nepotism and privilege. even if it’s “just a job” you make social connections and have access to people and institutions that normal people don’t.
how many regular north koreans who weren’t the children of politicians are sent to foreign universities?
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.
yeah i guess i don’t think you can really separate power and rank from privilege. at least not now or in the foreseeable future. if humanity outlives capitalism maybe they can revisit the issue.
