Socialism is anti-state
Read Lenin
You mean they have factories owned by individuals in the DPRK? They have people outside the government directing production for individual profit?
I’m not being sarcastic; I don’t understand how they have a capitalist class. It’s not plainly obvious to me at all.

There are special economic zones like Rason with limited and controlled private capital, as well as foreign investment. A foreign business owner stayed and lived in the DPRK and wrote the book A Capitalist in North Korea: My Seven Years in the Hermit Kingdom.
The DPRK is one of the most overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned economies on the planet, but they do have limited private capital, similar to but less than Cuba.
