Juche and modern life under modern capitalism -a contribution from the Juche idea Study Group of Ireland

  

"Some people exaggerate the role of information

means, neglecting man, on the basis of the fact that

production is impossible without computers in the IT era."

Humans have been here long before computers however as a collective and through advancing as one we created the IT era followed by dominating, and continuing to dominate the IT era by advancing it through breakthroughs in technology.

With that breakthrough we are showing our dominance as the masters of advancement in our lives. We come together as humans to advance it together, to dismiss this shows a lack of understanding in the mind of man.

In our IT era we have always been social, we are always a collective, but unfortunately some collectives are led astray by those who wish to exploit the social and collective nature of man.

Easy example... Work! In our society, we have to work in conditions and serve as a "prison sentence" and work under poor pay and zero incentives along with poor morale. This affects the collective in their work and it's a poison which spreads across a society rapidly.

For namesake we'll use the name John... John is sick of being treated badly, he's working 50 hours plus and struggling due to the poor pay in his skilled job in IT. John thinks about resigning but John knows he faces the future without employment, which causes further stress and less money due to the poor social security of the state. John, then has no other choice to continue working in poor conditions being exploited whilst his boss gets richer.

The exploiting class doesn’t change… The exploiting class meets the advancements that were made by the collective. Philosopher Karl Marx said workers in a capitalist society are exploited insofar as they are forced to sell their labor power to capitalists for less than the full value of the commodities they produce with their labor.

To summarize we as progressives and followers of the Juche we must counter the exploiting class at every turn to ensure the foundations of people first, man being in control of his destiny and to dominate our conditions for the betterment of our lives. We must do this under the banner of KIMILSUNGISM & KIMJONGILISM!
