True Colors of "Democracy" Seen through Constitution (2) -Equal Rights of People -

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

   Pyongyang, December 27 (KCNA) -- The equal rights and social and cultural freedom of the citizens are an important issue related to the existence and development of people. The citizens of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea exercise the equal rights in all the domains of social life, political, economic and cultural, irrespective of nationality and sex by the constitution.
    They also enjoy all the rights of a social being including rights to free education, free medical service, labor and rest, leading an independent and creative life.
    The Constitution of the United States proclaims those who were born in the country or naturalized as the citizens of the country and stipulates that to restrict their special rights and privileges shall be banned. But worst racial and national inequality and sexual inequality in the U.S., where the state laws are put above the Federal ones, bring the falsity of the "equality" of the people to light.
    Some states prohibit black people from studying together with white people by law and the Supreme Court of the United States empowers the Federal Administration to rule the American Indians without restriction. As a result, the human rights of the American Indians are mercilessly abused. The constitution amendment to sexual equality adopted in 1972 lost its validity as the majority of inhabitants did not approve it till the expiration of its term.
    The American women are not paid duly according to the same work done, the female portion of company clerks is no more than 10 percent and they are the first victims of various crimes.
    The "freedom" and "rights" of the U.S. people including the freedom of education with free choice of schools and freedom of lessons as the main content and the right to medical service by which they are allowed to receive medical treatment anytime once they take out "medical insurance" have nothing to do with them. On the contrary, they are making the working masses mental cripples and slaves to money.
    There are tens of millions of illiterates in the U.S. styling itself a "civilized country" and a lot of people do not receive medical treatment for lack of money. There can not be genuine democracy in the U.S., where the only monopoly capitalists, no more than 0.02 percent of its population, lord it over. The reality clearly shows that the civil rights and duties in the socialist society give full play to democracy but the "freedom" and "rights" of the people in the capitalist society violate democracy.
