If the Soviet Union still existed and one third of the world was still socialist, North Korea would have a whole bloc to trade, share, collaborate with. The socialist world would have their own web of cinema, culture, internet and North Korea would be a much better place.

You mean if the Soviet Union was still communist. Communism and socialism are different.

I did not use the word communist. The Soviet Union never claimed to have achieved communism, it was officially a socialist state. You do not build communism in one day, it may take hundreds, if not thousands of years to reach it, but you need to start somehow. The Soviet Union started it with the socialist step, it was a matter of getting better and better. My point was that if one third of the world was still socialist (not communist), North Korea would have had a whole world of fellow socialists to live with. No isolation, no need for insane military spending.
