Rodong Sinmun on Revolutionary Principle

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

   Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday states that the revolutionary principle is tantamount to life and soul for the independent people. This is because the principle is a crucial matter concerning the destiny of socialism which provides the popular masses with an independent and creative life, notes the author of the article, and goes on:
    The circumstances and conditions of the building of socialism may constantly change, but the revolutionary principle should never change in any case. If one backs down in the revolutionary principle when building socialism, one cannot build it successfully to suit the fundamental interests of the people and, worse still, the existence of socialism itself is endangered.
    The revolutionary principle is the life and soul of the independent people because it is the basic guarantee for defending the sovereignty of the country and the nation, smashing the strong-arm and arbitrary practices of the imperialists.
    The imperialists are getting more virulent in their strong-arm and arbitrary practices and infringement upon others' sovereignty. Consequently, the sovereignty of many countries is gravely sapped and violated and peace is harassed and wrecked. The U.S. imperialists, in particular, resort to state terrorism, undisguised aggression and war, nuclear threat and strong-arm actions against sovereign states and interference in their domestic affairs, taking no account of the United Nations and international law.
    One should maintain the revolutionary principle in the standoff with imperialism, if he wants to defend the sovereignty of the country and the nation, smashing the imperialists' strong-arm and arbitrary practices.
    The destiny of the country and the nation can be safeguarded only when the ideological and cultural infiltration of the imperialists is opposed with the revolutionary ideological offensive and strength with strength.
    The people of the DPRK have firmly defended Korean-style socialism in the standoff with the U.S. imperialists, invariably adhering to the revolutionary principle in the building of socialism. This struggle teaches the truth that the revolutionary principle is the life and soul of the independent people.
    The important lesson drawn by the DPRK people in the showdown with the U.S. is that they can defend socialism and display the dignity of the country and the nation only when they put up an unflinching fight with a super-tough stance, never yielding nor stepping back with regard to the revolutionary principle in the standoff with the enemies.
    One comes off the victor when he maintains the revolutionary principle and the loser when he discards it.
