I mean.... That's like people saying China is barely socialist because they have a mixed market.
China's civil war and invasion ended in 1949, Vietnam's was fighting until damn near the 1980's. I feel like they're making quite a bit of progress considering the timeframe.
Also North Korea isn't exactly the bastion of communism that they used to be. When the public distribution system collapsed during the great famine in the mid 90s, jangmadang filled a lot of the gaps and have been growing ever since.
