I hope so, I'd love to live in a socialist country with actual infrastructure and a long term mindset.

Kinda? But not because anyone pushes the "utopia" or "dystopia" button. The US Empire is in serious decay, and is fighting to stay hegemonic. It isn't a thinking process with the express purpose of evil, but a tremendous pursuit of profit.

I think you might benefit from reading theory, this is all more fantasy. The huge issues we have today aren't like that, they are usually accidental and economically compelled by capitalism. There's no "dystopia" button or "utopia" button.

I think this is more fantasy than reality.

I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Trying to quantify political views is still a problem, though.

There isn't really an "American version." Left vs right is broadly okay if framed as collectivized ownership as principle vs privatized ownership as principle, but economies in the real world aren't "pure," and trying to gauge how left or right a country is by proportion of the economy that is public vs private can be misleading. The next part, "libertarian vs authoritarian," is a false binary. The state is thoroughly linked to the mode of production, you don't just pick something on a board and create it in real life. There's no such thing as "libertarian capitalism," as an example. Centralization vs decentralization may make more sense, but that can also be misleading, as centralized systems can be more democratic than decentralized systems.

This is a pretty good, if long, video on the subject. The creator of the compass is also politically biased.

As a fun little side-note, I can answer the standard political compass quiz and get right around the bottom-left while being a Marxist-Leninist that approves of full collevtivization of production and central planning. Yet, at the same time, the quiz will put socialist states in the top left, seemingly based on how the creator wants to represent things. It's deeply flawed. Add on the fact that it's more of an idealist interpretation of political economy than a materialist one, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

To be fair, the political compass itself is liberal nonsense designed to promote liberal worldviews. It's a deeply flawed system that harms more than it helps.

Utopianism is a failure, but a better world is possible. Taking a scientific approach to socialism works.

The RF did try to join, Putin was a part of that movement. After the nationalist movement in Russia, there was an attempt to normalize relations with the west and join the imperialist circle now that they had become capitalist, but this fell through.

The worms take him now. Rot.

Spot-on. People will really believe anything except the idea that the DPRK is a unique but ultimately still human country that faces struggles like any other, especially due to harsh and brutal sanctions like Cuba. Claiming that it isn't literally hell on Earth doesn't mean it's a perfect utopia, but westerners will insist that if you don't buy-in to western mythologizing of the DPRK that you're somehow claiming it's perfect and free from any issues whatsoever.
