the better comparison is to the founding fathers since the revolutionary leaders of the ussr and dprk were as integral to their countries' creation, and our capitol has giant statues of those guys which no one bats an eye at

Well that explains George Washington's embalmed corpse down the street from the White House

Remember how everybody referred to Thomas Jefferson as 'Great Jefferson' and had a framed portrait of him displayed in their house?

Okey dokey!

Your claim is that the "personality cults" of the Founders is comparable to that of e.g. the Kims. So I challenge you to go digging through all the David Barton-esque dreck that you like, and see if you can find something comparable to the following, chosen from a randomly selected page in the DPRK's official biography of its Dear Leader:


The whole book is like this.

There's a very Trumpian quality to a lot of North Korean propaganda, they way they can talk about the 'Juche idea' for paragraphs without even once implying what it is

"I've got the best Juche thought, just the greatest. It's really good, really strong Juche and it's gonna make the Party win, win, win, big league. Everything I'm doing is Juche and it's really strong, just tremendous folks."

Actual public criticism is more likely to get you labeled as a shrieking commie than be taken seriously considering even liberals have been hard at work trying to do the apotheosis of a New Yorker slave trader.

It's unfortunate that you won't be thrown in a labour camp for this post
