America is a bigger threat to world peace than North Korea

Fascism is effectively an evolved form of socialism (or syndicalism) with a focus on militarism and nationalism. The only thing that really prevents North Korea from being a full blown fascist state is its economic structure but it's not too far away.

It's not all that difficult to start a nuclear program now a days, South Africa probably had nukes by the 1970s and Israel definitely has nukes even if they do not want to admit it. Malnutrition is a huge problem for children in NK right now, so I'm not so sure that they're as well off as you think.

You greatly overestimate the North Korean military. Most of it is poorly trained, ill equipped and would likely all apart once the command structure is taken out. The military is mostly used for manual labour and civilian tasks anyways.

I highly dissagree, fascism has nothing to do with Socialism

A communist/socialist state cant be fascist as both are the complete opposite to each other. Syndicalism has nothing to do with fascism at all, its anarchism and tries to have a stateless communist movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicalism

How is the North Korean Army supposed to fall apart if they believe in their own system? They can do huge damage to South Korean and US Army bases too, with their artillery.

The opposite of fascism is anarcho-communism. Italian syndicalists were among the first fascists and similar movements were attempted in Spain and Portugal. Georges Sorel, a Marxist and syndicalist was highly influencial in fascist thought and Mussolini was a big fan of him.

By the way, if you go to your Wikipedia link, you'll see that syndicalism is in the fascist portal and Fascism is in the "See Also" section. If you go to the Italian Fascism page then you'll see this:

"Italian Fascism was rooted in Italian nationalism, revolutionary syndicalism and the desire to restore and expand Italian territories... According to Sternhell “most syndicalist leaders were among the founders of the Fascist movement,” who, in later years, gained key posts in Mussolini’s regime.^[3]"

You think North Koreans have faith in their system, or does the perpetual state of fear keep everyone in check? Their army can do damage but not win a war, at least an offensive one.

The regime needs an enemy to pin its problems on and to keep the facade up. Once the facade fails then the whole house falls apart, why do you think NK is so restrictive on access to information about the outside world to its citizens?
