The infobox is intended to summarise the body, yet the body does not make the claim that it a socialist state, but rather the softer claims that a) the constitution makes such a claim or b) they were socialist historically. I apologise for this not being researched in much depth, but I have heard that it is contested that it is a socialist state, and a brief Google appears to justify this. A full-blooded endorsement of it being socialist therefore appears inappropriate. At minimum, the information should reflect sourced body content.

Thankyou for the link. I find the discussion contained of whether "socialist" is applicable very inadequate and detached from sourcing. I don't really have the energy to press this at this time, but I will ask if you think it's bad that North Korea being socialist is unsourced in the article.

I will be convinced when the source is directly from the North Korean government and not "a map uploaded to RedNote" by a "self-described Korean learner". No mention of how the map was obtained by the anonymous user or how the Newsweek writer verified its authenticity. If this is the quality of journalism Wikipedia is supposed to take at face value, then I too will make my own map but to the contrary, slap a quote on it, and upload it to RedNote.

It is noteworthy that the Kim regime has departed from the dictums of the great Kim Il Sung, who was a supporter of peaceful reunification through confederation (also a support of military reunification during the 1950s and 1960s!). It is perfectly true that the Sunshine Policy aims at the downfall of the NK regime. Hence Kim Jong Un is merely stating facts, in my opinion. I'm not that fussed about the map itself. Does the map of Russia include claimed territory? Actually, yes, it does.--Jack Upland (talk) 18:32, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
