There is one little hope as we see in the direct democrazy model used in Switzerland where the people have the last word on almost anything.

If the death of the dictator was the solution to the way a country operated, the Kim dynasty would have been history long before now. It's not as simple as that.
Dictators maintain power by encircling themselves with a chain of command, each of whom are reponsible for those lower than them until you get to the ones who control the masses. The dictator does not control the masses himself. He makes it in everyone's interests to serve their chain of command. Those most loyal and closest to the central control are rewarded beyond their wildest dreams. The rewards and benefits become less enticing the further down the chain you get, until your reward is simply being allowed to keep yourself and your family alive. It's those that control the masses.
Simply removing the dictator would not remove or change the regime. Too many people have a vested interest in mainting the regime, with or without the head honcho. He would simply be replaced by someone else.
All dictatorships are deliberatly set up this way to deter outside infuence from even attempting regime change.
The fact that citizens are not allowed to even travel around their own country, let alone the fact that they need a government-issued pass to even enter Pyongyang should tell you how the regime operates and how only those that are loyal and are pre-approved by the regime can enter their own capital city should indicate to you how it all works.

Apparently his sister may take over but there could always by oppression. I thought over the virus he may have turned those missiles in China's direction.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Is Kim Jong-Un Dead?
https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/politic ... tive-stateFor days the government of North Korea has been tight-lipped as speculation about the health of the nation’s leader Kim Jong-un’s health spreads. Now the Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Gendai is reporting that a failed surgery has left the 36 year old in a vegetative state.
American celebrity tabloid website TMZ has gone a step further and claimed he’s actually died.
Kim Yo Jong is believed to be the daughter of Ko Yong Hui, the mistress of Kim Jong Un’s father Kim Jong Il, and also the mother of Kim Jong Un and their two older brothers. Their brother Kim Jong Nam was assassinated in February 2017 when he was attacked with VX nerve agent at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, allegedly at the direction of Kim Jong Un, in 2017, while their other brother Kim Jong Chul was passed over by his father and is not believed to be heavily involved in politics.
In the event Kim dies and his sister takes over, it may not represent a major change or softening in North Korean foreign policy, according to VICE News cited Sung Yoon Lee, an expert on the Koreas at Tufts University.
“It is entirely possible that Ms. Kim will prove even more tyrannical than her brother or father or grandfather.”
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
