Rodong Sinmun Hails Socialism as Common Ideal of Mankind

Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- The future of mankind is socialism, Rodong Sinmun Monday says in an article.

It goes on;

The popular masses have long desired an independent new society in which all of them live well on an equal footing free from exploitation, oppression, domination and subordination.

Socialism makes it possible to realize such an ideal and capitalism tramples it down.

Socialism provides genuine freedom and equality for all people.

In the capitalist society complete equality cannot be provided as it is based on individualism and divided into hostile classes.

Socialism is the just cause of realizing the requirements of the popular masses for independence and their ideal and it is the law of human history to advance toward socialism, which no one can hold in check.

Transition from capitalism to socialism is a law-governed process of the development of human society.

Socialism is an inevitable phase in the development of history and it is a rule, but it does not come true of itself.

Socialism advances amid a fierce struggle against all hues of counter-revolutionary forces including the imperialists.

No matter how desperately the imperialists work, they can not check the advance of mankind toward socialism. -0-
