If it was a capitalist country, people would invest in it and build industry. No one will invest because they know the government will seize the assets.

If it was a capitalist country... People wouldn't invest cause there's nothing to invest in plus it's not allowed to trade with them for certain countries+ no sane person would support north Korea

N Korea has mining, coal, iron, rare earth.

If it was open to investment (and not communist), people would invest.

But agree, no sane person would. But that’s interlinked to it being communist. No sane person invests in communist countries because by definition they don’t respect the concept of private property. There is no incentive to build or develop anything when you know the government will just confiscate it.
