What Is Juche?

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is guided in its activities by the Juche idea authored by President Kim Il Sung. The Juche idea means, in a nutshell, that the masters of the revolution and construction are the masses of the people and that they are also the motive force of the revolution and construction.
The Juche idea is based on the philosophical principle that man is the master of everything and decides everything. It is the man-centred world outlook and also a political philosophy to materialize the independence of the popular masses, namely, a philosophy which elucidates the theoretical basis of politics that leads the development of society along the right path.
The Government of the DPRK steadfastly maintains Juche in all realms of the revolution and construction.
Establishing Juche means adopting the attitude of a master towards the revolution and construction of one's country. It means maintaining an independent and creative standpoint in finding solutions to the problems which arise in the revolution and construction. It implies solving those problems mainly by one's own efforts and in conformity with the actual conditions of one's own POLITICS country. The realization of independence in politics, selfsufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defence is a principle the Government maintains consistently.
The Korean people value the independence of the country and nation and, under the pressure of imperialists and dominationsts, have thoroughly implemented the principle of independence, self-reliance and self-defence, defending the country's sovereignty and dignity firmly.
It is an invariable policy of the Government of the Republic, guided by the Juche idea, to treasure the Juche character and national character and maintain and realize them. The Government of the Republic always adheres to the principle of Juche, the principle of national independence, and thus is carrying out the socialist cause of Juche.

Gang youre stupid as hell you are a blatant Nazi but sympathize with a Communist ideology, Juche is nowhere near similar to Fascism.

Fascism is class collaboration, not class struggle, it also preserves hierarchy through binding of state and corporate power. Its “nationalism” serves capital, not the proletariat, maintaining a clear division between rulers and ruled.
By contrast, systems like Juche, which wants to abolish class distinctions and align with Marxism, stand in formal opposition to fascism. Equating them based on appearance alone confuses form with underlying socio-economic reality.

If North Korea is really Fascist, Then where is the monopoly capital? Where are the privatizations, where are the multi-national companies sucking North Korea's resources with government approval like all Fascists did? Where are the state sponsored market companies subjugating the workers?

if you think fascism is simply homogeneous patriotism, then I have a bridge to sell you.
