KCNA on Anti-Capitalist Demonstration Sweeping World

Pyongyang, October 20 (KCNA) -- "Occupy Wall Street" demonstration is sweeping across the capitalist world including the U.S.

Millions of people took to the streets in more than 1 500 cities in over 80 countries, sounding a note of warning against the capitalist system.

This was a stern judgment of unpopular system that brings exploitation, oppression, unemployment and poverty to the popular masses.

As known, the catastrophic financial crisis that broke out in the U.S. in 2007 prompted unprecedented business bankruptcy and unemployment, causing huge damage to the people's living.

Low-income earners' pent-up wrath against avaricious big banks and companies that caused economic inequality finally gave its vent.

As more people joined the protesters, slogan reading "We are 99%" appeared.

The capitalist society where money is everything is an unpopular one where the rich get ever richer while the poor ever poorer. In this society 1% of privileged class is granted all preferential treatment while 99% of working masses are forced into poverty and death.

The gap between the rich and the poor now in the U.S. is the most serious since the great depression in the 1930s.
