Access to elite Anglo (and affiliated) philosophers who can strongly influence the next generation of Anglo political and business elites’ sense of what right / prosocial action is. Like, Peter Singer with North Korean Characteristics (or the Parfit equivalent) might be extremely valuable from a North Korean perspective, depending on how generalizable a perspective they have.
I would doubt that the North Korean’s believe that Western foreign policy is driven by a sense what prosocial action is in the first place. I would guess that from their view it’s all realpolitik.
Seems a bit surprising for the leaders of an avowedly Communist regime that received support at crucial times from other Communists on the basis of their ideology, to think that philosophy has little influence on the reality underlying realpolitik. Possible, but I think Pragmatism has been more popular here than there.
