My understanding is that like Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, Marxist ideology in North Korea has been officially renounced (in favour of 'Juche'). Although Bonapartism is identified as a precursor to fascism rather than Stalinism, anyone in North Korea couldn't help reading the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon and draw parallels (albeit in a very general context) between the agendas of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il and that of Louis Bonaparte.
