And what do you think I think it means since I didn't define what I thought it meant?
"An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state".
If you don't think that the Russian oligarchs control Russia's trade and industry to their own benefit, or that the Chinese oligarchs do the same, you might be mistaken.
North Korea is a little different, but I'm betting a good look would show that Kim and his cronies own a big chunk of the assets in NK. But I'd be comfortable calling them all kinds of things, none of which includes either capitalist nor communist.
