Rodong Sinmun on Korean-Style Socialism

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, December 1 (KCNA) -- The people of the DPRK are fully demonstrating their dignity and honor as an independent people in the general march of the Songun revolution to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    Neither the heroic spirit of the Korean people would be thinkable nor their independent, worthwhile and happy life as the masters of the state and society in all the fields of politics, economy and culture without Korean-style socialism.
    All people in the society are free to participate in state management and social activities and fully exercise their political rights as the master of the state and society and honorably fulfill their responsibility and duty they have assumed before the society and the collective, helping and leading each other along.
    The idea of collectivism has been fully embodied as required by the Songun era under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. As a result, the relations of comradely unity and cooperation and love and trust prevail throughout the society.
    Everyone thinks more of the Party and the leader, the prosperity of the country and the future of the nation than of his own comfort and happiness and sincerely works for the collective, not expecting any fame and reward. This is the noble spiritual and moral trait of the Korean people. The true picture of Korean-style socialism which helps the independent people glorify their dignity and honor can be proved by the fact that the state looks after the material and cultural life of the people in a responsible manner.
    This reality would be unthinkable without a strong army.
    The political foundation of the DPRK has been further consolidated and the independent national economy has grown stronger than ever before in the course of bolstering up the country's defence capability in every way under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    The war deterrent force for self-defence strong enough to decisively counter any moves of the U.S. imperialists for aggression firmly guarantees a bright future of the Korean-style socialist system.
