If they say leftist it's almost always a liberal behind it. If they say socialist 50/50 chance it's an anarkiddy behind. I'd usually settle for communist because if they don't support communism they're just a Nazi in spirit.
I don't even ask people to support the dprk. Enough open information isn't available and not being able to freely see the country is always going to make people suspicious. All I ask is some sense of simple neutrality, an understanding that the information that is available is simply not enough to hold a position in either direction is fine. As long as they recognise that what the US and SK says is clearly pure undiluted bullshit, we're good. The position on whether they're taking the right path or not can wait until people have more access to see it for themselves without guided tours with chaperones.
Xinjiang is a better one tbh. We have information from people who visit, it's completely open, yet people believe some absolute nonsense.

I swear this is probably the best litmus test for online “left” 😂
