Democratic People's Republic of Korea not so demorcratic?

Question

How come North Korea or (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)'s name is said that is a Democratic nation, but clearly it is excately the opposite. The same thing with Laos which is Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Do they think they are fooling people? plz answer with as much elaboration as possible.

Answer 1

The names are intended to fool their own populations, and to fool the Left-dominated western news media.  It's possible the population of North Korea realizes the DPRK isn't a democracy, but the news media hasn't figured that out yet.
