  Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday dedicates a signed article to the 13th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's famous work "Socialism Is a Science."
    The work, published on Nov. 1, Juche 83 (1994), is an immortal library of weighty significance as it comprehensively deals with and systematizes the theory of socialism as a science, the article says, and goes on:
    More than a decade has passed since the publication of the work but Kim Jong Il's ideas and theories proving scientific accuracy of socialism and indicating a true path of its victory have displayed tremendous vitality with the lapse of time and the advance of the era.
    The work, first of all, serves as an ideological pabulum as it instills unshakable faith in socialism into the people of the DPRK.
    It comprehensively deals with the undisputed superiority of socialism to capitalism, the limitation of the preceding theory of socialism, originality and scientific accuracy of Juche-based theory of socialism, the deviations committed by some countries in building socialism in the past, the secret of the triumphant advance made by Korean-style socialism and the true advantages of Korean-style socialism centred on the popular masses.
    It, at the same time, serves as powerful guidelines for the building of a great prosperous powerful nation as it helps give full play to the advantages of socialism.
    It clarifies important principled issues to be adhered to in socialist construction and the ways to do so. These issues include the issue of thoroughly embodying the principle of collectivism in all domains of social life, the issue of strengthening the driving force for the revolution and enhancing its role by giving priority to the ideological work and the work of remolding people, the issue of steadily improving the standard of the people's living as required by socialism by channeling great efforts into economic construction, the issue of building the Workers' Party of Korea as a mother party and pursuing the policy based on love, confidence and benevolence.
    The work also serves as a banner encouraging the world revolutionary people in their advance toward independence and socialism.
