Ideological Confrontation with Imperialists Is War minus Gunfire: Rodong Sinmun

  Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- The struggle against the imperialists' cunning and persistent bourgeois ideological and cultural infiltration is the ideological confrontation with imperialism and a war minus gunfire, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article.
    It goes on:
    The imperialists' ideological and cultural infiltration against the socialist countries and anti-imperialist independent countries is becoming evermore undisguised as the days go by.
    If one is affected by bourgeois ideology and culture, serious consequences will be entailed.
    The bourgeois ideology and culture are the most dangerous poisoning which makes people spiritual cripple and beasts stooping to brutal means and methods for their interests, ambition, wealth and luxury.
    If people are infected by bourgeois ideology and culture, their class awareness will be diminished of its own accord and they will seek individual pleasure, wealth and luxury only.
    If then, they will not fight against imperialists but abandon the revolutionary principle, opt for compromise, concession and submission and completely be disarmed ideologically and mentally.
    This is eloquently evidenced by the tragic developments in those countries in which socialism collapsed.
    The former East European socialist countries neglected the ideological work without vigilance over the imperialists' bourgeois ideological and cultural infiltration.
    Therefore, people in those countries harbored illusion about capitalism and were undermined and degenerated ideologically and mentally. As a result, they made a mess of their socialist system.
    This proves that to prevent the bourgeois ideological and cultural infiltration is a very important and urgent issue arising in achieving the country's independent development, progress and prosperity. -0-
