Triumphant Advance of Socialist Cause Called for

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

    Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- It is a historic lesson that one is sure to win if one takes hold on ideology and one is bound to go to ruin if one ignores it. It is the fundamental demand for the triumphant advance of socialism to take the ideological education as a lifeline. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    An ideological work precisely means the vitality of socialism and its destiny depends on how to strengthen the ideological work. This is a lesson and truth taught by the world socialist movement.
    The introduction of a capitalist method whereby people are motivated by use of money while the ideological work is neglected in the socialist society would entail such grave consequences as destabilizing and degenerating socialism and bringing it to a collapse.
    It is a more essential requirement to strengthen the ideological work in the socialist society now that the imperialists are becoming all the more undisguised in their ideological and cultural offensive.
    The imperialists are spreading the bourgeois ideology and culture while intensifying all sorts of smear propaganda about socialism. They are pursuing a sinister aim to weaken the people's faith in socialism and instigate them to reject it in a bid to bar them from heading for socialism.
    The imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning inevitably provides the counter-revolutionaries with an opportunity to raise their heads. The imperialist ideology and culture are nothing but ideological poison as they are aimed at destabilizing and degenerating socialist countries.
    What is taking place on the international arena goes to prove that socialism cannot be defended unless the imperialist ideological and cultural poisoning is not checked.
    The practical experience gained by the Korean revolution while firmly defending socialism from the persistent anti-socialist offensive of the imperialists clearly proves that the ideological work provides a fundamental guarantee for the triumphant advance of socialism.
