Juche is just an excuse for leaders to maintain their grip on power. The only aim it has is to make sure their grip on power will not be challenged by anything internal or external. It serves Kim Jong Un needs at expense of everyone else in North Korea.
It is useful if you are Kim Jong Un or someone close enough to him to benefit from it all, but for everyone else it is misery and suffering.
Juche is just as self-serving and up their own ass, as some small business idiots who want $0 tax and $0 minimum wage. Arrangement that does not work and only serve the interest of a petty dictator of a little corner shop.
When you try corner shop dictator ideology in a country, you get North Korea. NK GDP is on corner shop levels.
Fundamentally it not even makes Kim Jong Un independent as he is dependent on China and Russia for pretty much anything.
From purely anarchist perspective Juche does nothing to eliminate authority of any boss of any level over his subordinates. Thus, it is not an anarchist ideology.
It is nor anarchism if it does not remove bosses.
It is more anarchist if you can live by "do not tell me what to do" principle and less anarchist if you cannot.
