   Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The army and people of the DPRK will never back away from the road of socialism of Juche chosen by themselves no matter how many trials may lie in their way, says Rodong Sinmun today in an editorial article. The article goes on:
    Our faith in socialism represents belief that socialism guarantees a bright future of humankind, confidence that our ideology and system are most just and advantageous and spirit that we can surely create happiness by our own efforts to be envied by others.
    To devotedly defend the headquarters of the revolution means the most vivid manifestation of the faith in socialism.
    Nowadays, the U.S. imperialists, directing the spearhead of the attack to bring down Korean-style socialism to the headquarters of the revolution, are leaving no means untried to do so. All the officials, Party members and other working people should thoroughly arm themselves with the Songun idea of Kim Jong Il, uphold his leadership feats and become steadfast fighters devotedly defending him, while carrying through his line and policies under any circumstances.
    It is necessary to bear deep in mind the truth of the revolution that Songun precisely means socialism and remain true to the Songun policy of the Party and thus firmly safeguard the ideology, the system and the cause of the DPRK from the encroachment of the U.S. imperialists.
    We should as always steadfastly adhere to the proud history and tradition of the revolutionary cause of Juche and firmly abide by the principles of socialism.
    It is imperative to steadily add shine to the glorious revolutionary tradition of Mt. Paektu and the immortal feats our Party has performed in the course of leading the revolution and construction by carrying forward it. It is important to firmly preserve the precious experience and feats gained in the period of laying the Party's foundation for carrying forward the cause of Juche in the 1970s and speed up socialist construction on the basis of them. It is essential to take the feats our Party has performed for the last more than decade during which a glorious history of revolution was made as a lifeline for accomplishing the socialist cause in the new century.
    The Party members and other working people are called upon to highly display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude, a precious tradition and fighting mode of the Korean revolution, and bring about a new change in socialist construction.
    The army and the people of the DPRK will accomplish the cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation of Juche under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il and eternally glorify the ever-victorious history of the Korean revolution with the strong faith in socialism, the article concludes.
