Intensified Struggle against Bourgeois Ideology and Culture Called for

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

   Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- Bourgeois ideology and culture are the most reactionary ones as they benumb the mentality and physical bodies of human beings and stand in the way of social progress.
    Minju Joson Tuesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The reactionary nature of bourgeois ideology and culture finds its manifestation, above all, in that they are benumbing people's spirit of independence and working class awareness and deforming their creative ingenuity so as to reduce them to slaves of capital and "human tools."
    The capitalist reactionary circle is busy spreading superstition in a bid to make people believe in the "godlike existence" decisive of human destiny. By doing so it seeks to prevent them from being aware that they are responsible for their own destiny and make them submit to their fate.
    In capitalist society money is a deciding factor of everything including personality and workforce. The rich have the right to enjoy pleasure whereas the poor are obliged to obey them as slaves of capital.
    The reactionary nature of the bourgeois ideology and culture also finds its expression in that social life is getting corrupt and decadent and the jungle law prevails in all human relations.
    In capitalist society no means is left untried to accumulate one's fortune and ethics and morality, sense of obligation and conscience are being trampled underfoot. This society is plagued with fraud, swindle and plunder. Taking place there in an unbroken chain are such horrendous crimes as murders between fathers and sons, brothers, husbands and wives and colleagues keen on meeting their selfish interests.
    Capitalists are deliberately contriving various means to foster luxury and a dissolute and degenerated life. Such human scum as drug addicts and those seeking abnormal ambition are on the steady increase in number.
    The reactionary nature of bourgeois ideology and culture can be explained by the fact that they are used by the imperialists as leverage to realize domination, subjugation, aggression and plunder against other countries and nations with ease.
    The imperialists are craftily working to infiltrate bourgeois ideology and culture into the anti-imperialist independent countries and socialist countries, prattling that bourgeois ideological and cultural offensive is effective enough to bring down those countries, which they deem hard to subdue by dint of nuclear weapons. Precisely for this reason the bulk of their state budget goes to those institutions and information bodies that specialize in the above-said offensive. They are busy faking up misinformation to be used for advertising "advantages" of capitalism and conducting smear campaigns against the progressive countries. They also preach that the corrupt capitalist life style is suitable to the intrinsic nature of human being.
