I understand that the west has ridiculously high levels of propaganda against the DPRK but how do Communists argue with the fact that there is clearly some kind of family line to the leader role? (hexbear.net)

Shouldn't the role be "advertised" to other people as well? Why is it following the Kim family line when that seems completely against ML thought?

all three Kim’s have held different functions.

To add to this, Kim Jong-Un did not run for re-election to the Supreme People’s Assembly in 2019

Is he not in the SPA then? Is he just the party chairman now?

Correct

Is he just the party chairman now?

According to Wikipedia, so take this with a grain of salt, he is “Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army,” “General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea,” and “President of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea.”
