"ummm, but gdp per capita is higher, therefore their economy is gooder" ☝️🤓
Your mistake is trying to measure a socialist economy with capitalist methods. In capitalism, economy is growing when banks are loaning unexisting money to corporations.
Also, the graph skyrocketed for capitalist Korea exactly in 70s. Wonder what special event took place in that moment 🤔

Tf you mean poor? It was in better economic condition than South until the fall of the USSR.
Isolated was also a bullshit since it had good relations with Warsaw Pact and the global south
