In the context of this debate, this question is either provocative or
full of ignorance.

If the said socialist belongs to a semicolonial country, the answer is
obvious: what hapens to happen to the DPRK can happen to her or his
own country.

If the said socialist belongs to an imperialist country, the answer
should be obvious too, but the hegemonic grip of imperialist ideology
on many good hearted comrades in those countries blurs it. The answer
is that imperialism is a whole structural bloc, where NO IMPERIALIST
COUNTRY IS INNOCENT of exploitation of semicolonies.

Well, this at least is what Lenin thought on this issue. Maybe he was wrong.

Best.
