The Wikipedia article for the WPK lists it as far-right.  And, that doesn't seem so inaccurate.

IMO, if you call North Korea fascist, then you're saying that "fascist" is synonymous with "totalitarian", thereby making the word "fascist" useless. I prefer leaving that term for parties like Jobbik that closely resemble interwar European fascism.

I was thinking more in terms of their gross nationalism, militarism, reactionary tendencies, etc.

Those are all pretty common to military dictatorships in general, though. North Korea is in a fundamentally different context, so I feel like the label of fascism would be off.

Don't they practice feudalism, in NK?
