Rodong Sinmun article on the fake democracy of the imperialists

New Way of Indoctrination

The imperialist has been persistent all along in its way of indoctrinating other nations in the Western-style democracy. At the end of the last century it employed the strategy of "peaceful transition" but this century it has changed the strategy -- resort to strength in imbuing others with the Western-style democracy.

This now causes evil effects.

The imperialists' spokesmen vaunt the Western-style democracy has attained the peak of all democracies. It is a sheer lie. Modern imperialism has been floundering in a serious politico-economic crisis, but it can't find an outlet. This the world sees clearly.

Western-style democracy is in essence democracy of U.S. style.

Now the world peace and security are being menaced gravely by this "democracy" -- democracy of U.S. pattern.

The attempt of pumping this "democracy" into other nations is being made more openly in Asia-Pacific region. This endangers the security structures in many areas. Wherever this "democracy" is allowed to be let in, genuine democracy is being crushed.

By international laws, no country and no force is allowed to encroach upon the interest of other sovereign states for the benefit of its own.

Any attempt of the imperialist to stifle other nations simply because they have different idea and ideal, and different political forms, totally goes against international laws.

Reality shows if any nation wants to choose democracy of its own and enjoy it at home, it must be strong, strong enough to get the better of the imperialist in strength. This is required by the complicated situation of the 21st century.
