Some reflections on agitation activities in People's Korea

                                    

 Reading a short article in Rodong Sinmun about housewives agitation activities in the DPRK made me reflect a bit about the nature of Korean style socialism and the difference between the DPRK and capitalist countries.

 During several visits to the DPRK my eye was caught by neatly arranged and colourful groups of women twirling red flags  in a number of places in Pyongyang such as in front of the Pyongyang Railway station which is near to the Koryo Hotel or in squares or street corners ..

These energetic and vigorous are there to encourage people to work hard and increase production . If I was a worker in the DPRK I would get a tremendous feeling of inspiration and even elation seeing the women twirling red flags both on my way to work and on the way back . This is the big difference between society in the DPRK and capitalist countries like Britain . In People's Korea work is a patriotic duty , an honour even . I remember a young woman guiding me declined the offer of a gift at the end of the visit ,saying it was her duty to work so she did not expect any reward . This contrasts with Britain were people work simply because they need the money , no other reason . No one goes to work feeling elated but instead watches the clock when they are in work . Many people here are stuck in boring jobs that they hate and only stay in them for fear of being unemployed .

The DPRK is also different to some past socialist countries that I visited or passed through such as Hungary , Czechoslovakia and GDR . I never saw any agitation teams in those countries like I did in the DPRK. This is the reason why socialism collapsed in the revisionist countries  but in People's Korea prospered. Juche-based , Korean style socialism is really superior !
