Revolutionary Culture Created by Soldiers Praised

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- The revolutionary culture created by servicepersons in the DPRK is the culture representing the struggle, progress, optimism and joy that effloresced despite the most rigorous trials and the culture aimed to defend socialism as it frustrated the U.S. imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK with the powerful gunroar of Songun. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed lengthy article. The article goes on:
    The revolutionary culture created by servicepersons includes the best contents of the culture created by the working masses throughout a long history. It is the acme of culture aimed to fully realize the independent aspiration and desire of the working class.
    The above-said culture was created at a time when the revolutionary soldier spirit was highly displayed among the servicepersons of the Korean People's Army and the cultural standard and ideological world of the people got nobler and more beautiful on the pattern of the army.
    Cheerful art performances given by KPA companies and art presentations made by officers' families whose repertoires include numbers dealing with everyday common life by use of simple musical instruments, etc. represent a model of popular culture and art in the Songun era.
    Even under the conditions where they have to defend the country and carry out socialist construction simultaneously, the servicepersons set an example of the revolutionary and emotional way of living to be followed by all members of the society. Many monumental edifices built by them are flawless in terms of architectural and cultural levels.
    Revolutionary soldier trait and the soldiers' cultural and emotional way of living are in full bloom in all parts of the country thanks to the example set by the servicepersons and the positive influence exerted by the discharged soldiers now active at the sites of socialist construction.
    The revolutionary culture created by soldiers serves as a powerful weapon for reliably defending the socialist ideological and cultural position of the DPRK from the U.S. imperialists' ideological and cultural offensive and building noble, sound and beautiful culture that meets the intrinsic need of man while rejecting all manifestations of decadent and reactionary culture.
    The army and the people of the DPRK will surely build a great prosperous powerful nation and emerge victorious in the ideological and cultural confrontation with the U.S. imperialists as they have such a powerful weapon as the revolutionary culture created by the soldiers.
