North Korea runs like a big organized crime family that specializes in forced labor human trafficking and drugs. I've read that they even operate overseas businesses that send slaves that aren't allowed to leave those businesses such as for timber harvesting in the Russian far east and various businesses in South East Asia.
The Latin American cartels operate almost like miniature North Koreas.
Don't forget crypto fraud as well (maybe the least bad, out of all of these)
This is why JFK considered it so important for the US to end it's imperial tendencies.
It's like that 90's cocaine commercial. "Where'd you learn to do this?" "I learned it by watching you, allright?!"
They actually learned it from Stalin who ran organized crime gangs before the revolution that did extortion, racketeering, armed robbery, and piracy on the high seas among other things to fund Lenin's revolution. Young Stalin by Montefiore gets really deep into this. It's a very interesting read.
