Pyongyang, November 18 (KCNA) -- Amid the Occupy Wall Street demo growing stronger in different parts of the United States, the police have kicked up a sweeping campaign of repression while dispersing the protesters.
On Nov. 16 the police authorities in New York hurled policemen in dispersing protesters.
As a helicopter circled above the park where protesters set up tents to stage sit-in strike, creating terror-ridden atmosphere, the police thronged to the park and cleared all the tents by force.
The police arrested more than 200 of those strikers protesting the evacuation.
Similar breakup campaign was also conducted in Oakland, Portland and other cities.
Enraged at such repression, the protesters reportedly declared that they would soon stage a large-scale demo.
Foreign media reported that tension is prevailing in Wall Street again.
The U.S. would frequently advocate "defense" of human rights including freedom of assembly and demonstration. However, it is now arresting and detaining at random the popular masses who rose up in the struggle against exploitation and repression by capital.
This frantic racket of crackdown is a vivid expression of hypocrisy of the U.S.-style "freedom" and "human rights", and it clearly shows the world that the U.S. is a grave yard of human rights. -0-

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Intensified Struggle for Sovereignty
Pyongyang, November 13 (KCNA) -- Sovereignty is the inviolable right of all countries and nations to independently live and act, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a bylined article.
It is, in essence, the rights of each country and nation to adopt their line and policy in keeping with their own people's interests and their specific conditions and independently solve any problem by the efforts of their own people, the article says, and goes on:
Exercise of sovereignty can be realized only through struggle.
What is most important here is to intensify the struggle against imperialism.
The imperialists try to block the road toward global independence. All the progressives should wage an uncompromising struggle with the imperialists to reliably defend sovereignty of their countries and nations under the uplifted banner of independence.
It is also necessary to develop self-supporting national economy.
Independence of each country and nation can be realized only when it is based on the self-supporting national economy. If not, any country will have to read other's face whenever it adopts a policy and curry with other in its foreign activities.
It is particularly important to bolster self-reliant defense capability.
Self-defense is a sovereign right of each country and nation. Strong national defenses help keep independence, but if a nation is weak in defense capability, it would fall prey and slave to the aggression forces.
Without strong self-reliant military power is it not possible to win in the struggle against imperialism nor defend country and nation nor protect security of people. This is the stark reality at present.
The DPRK will invariably pursue the Songun politics, the independent politics and strive to establish sound international relations and achieve world peace and victory in the cause of global independence. -0-

SOCIALISM IS THE LIFE OF OUR PEOPLE-KIM JONG IL
KIM JONG IL
SOCIALISM IS THE LIFE OF OUR PEOPLE
Talk with the Senior Officials of the Central Committee
of the Workers' Party of Korea
November 14, 1992
Over the recent years the imperialists and reactionaries have been resorting to every scheme possible to stifle our country, which is advancing invariably holding the banner of socialism under the leadership of the Party and the leader. The more desperate the enemy is in his attempt, the higher we must hold the banner, crushing the enemy’s counterrevolutionary offensive by means of revolutionary offensive.
Although the imperialists and reactionaries are making desperate attempts to obliterate socialism on the earth, socialism is cherished as deep as ever in the hearts of the revolutionary people all over the world and is advancing on its track. Socialism is the ideal of humanity and that socialism achieves victory is a law of the development of history. No matter how desperately they attempt to stamp out socialism, the imperialists and reactionaries cannot reverse the tide of history. Today the revolutionary people of the world, under the banner of the Pyongyang Declaration, are fighting resolutely to defend and advance the cause of socialism. The struggle for socialism is being waged not only in those countries where socialism has collapsed but in the capitalist countries. It is doubtless that the manoeuvring of the imperialists and reactionaries will be frustrated and socialism will make an uninterrupted advance and emerge victorious in the long run by the struggle of the revolutionary parties and people of the world.
With an unshakable faith in the victory of socialism, we must approach the present situation on an optimistic point of view and staunchly defend the cause of socialism.
Socialism is the life of our people. Whether our people remain alive or die, i.e., whether they lead an independent and creative life as masters of the state and society or become the slave of others, getting maltreatment and contempt, depends on whether they defend socialism or not. As the song goes, socialism defended means victory and socialism abandoned means death. Whatever the difficulties and trials, we must never abandon the socialism we chose and are building by our efforts.
In order to defend and advance the cause of socialism, we must apply the Juche idea in all fields of revolution and construction in a thoroughgoing way.
The Juche idea is the ideological foundation of socialism and the only guiding ideology of revolution and construction. Our style of socialism centred on the masses is based on the Juche idea and embodies this idea; it is Juche-orientated socialism. Socialism devoid of ideological foundation and perfect guiding ideology cannot be called genuine socialism and it might be frustrated, unable to check the anti-socialist schemes of the imperialists and reactionaries. This is shown graphically by the lesson of those countries where socialism was frustrated and capitalism has been restored. Our socialism is advancing victoriously unperturbed amidst the continuing vicious moves of the imperialists and reactionaries just because it is based on the Juche idea and guided by this idea. While socialism is the life of our people, the Juche idea is the life of our socialism.
We must staunchly defend the Juche idea from the infiltration of the bourgeois reactionary ideological trend of all hues, steadily develop it and apply it in a thoroughgoing way in all fields of revolution and construction.
The course of building socialism is the course of applying the Juche idea and socialist and communist societies are those modelled on that idea.
The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung authored the idea in his early years and has applied it in all fields of revolution and construction with all consistency. He leads revolution and construction and lives his life in our own way. The anecdote concerning the colour of suiting illustrates graphically how firm his Juche-orientated stand is. Once our officials suggested to him that he have his suit made of the material of a certain colour, saying that suits made of such material were now in fashion. He told them fashion should follow him, not the other way round.
We must cherish the Juche idea as our faith and apply it in all sectors of revolution and construction thoroughly so as to add further lustre to our style of socialism centred on the masses, the Juche-orientated socialism.
In order to defend socialism and exalt its brilliance, we must further consolidate the single-hearted unity of the leader, the Party and the masses.
The leader, the Party and the masses form a body in which they share their destiny. Their firm unity based on ideology, will, morality and obligation is a guarantee for the invincibility of the cause of socialism. We must rally all people around the Party and the leader more firmly, thus incessantly consolidating the might of the single-hearted unity.
In defending socialism in the present times it is of great importance to check the abuses of every description the imperialists and bourgeois restorationists are levelling against socialism and bring the righteousness and advantages of the socialist cause home to Party members and other working people.
The imperialists and those who have restored bourgeois society are abusing socialism, calling it "totalitarian", "barracks-like" and "administrative-commanding". This is illogical, reactionary sophistry devoid of theoretical foundation. What are the bourgeois restorationists themselves doing now, those who are abusing socialism? They have disbanded communist parties and force everything on the lower echelons by invoking presidential decrees.
They are slinging mud at socialism and if we fail to lay bare the reactionary nature of their "theory", some people not prepared ideologically might become sceptical of socialism. We must disclose the reactionary nature of their "theory" and equip Party members and other working people with the socialist ideology.
I am going to write and make public in the near future a treatise criticizing their abuses of socialism. The sector of theoretical information, too, must produce many articles that lay bare the reactionary nature of the theory of the imperialists and bourgeois restorationists against socialism and explain the truthfulness and advantages of the socialist ideology and theory. Our Party expounded all theoretical problems arising in the practice of the socialist revolution and socialist construction including the problem of the three revolutions--ideological, technological and cultural--the problem of achieving oneness of mind of the leader, the Party and the masses; also the problem of properly combining centralism and democracy and strengthening the people's democratic dictatorship. When we reveal the reactionary nature of the abuses of socialism hurled by the imperialists and bourgeois restorationists as we stand on the ideas and theories our Party put forward for the socialist revolution and socialist construction, we will be able to greatly encourage the people who are making an effort to check the imperialists' and reactionaries' machinations and defend socialism.
We must also write articles on the limitations of the theories authored by the earlier writers of classics so as to give our Party members and other working people a correct understanding of the originality and superiority of the socialist ideology and theory of our Party.
Marxism-Leninism is a revolutionary ideology created reflecting the requirements of the revolutionary practice of the working class in the days of pre-monopoly capitalism and imperialism. History has advanced far and the times have changed since then. We are now in a new era of independence, when the popular masses, as the masters of history and their own destiny, carve out history and their destiny independently and creatively. The authors of Marxism had no experience of building socialism, and it is the same with Lenin. Owing to the limitations of the conditions of their times and their practical experiences the socialist theories put forward by the authors of Marxism-Leninism could not go, in some cases, beyond the limit of prediction and supposition.
For all their limitations, we must not take a nihilistic approach to Marxism-Leninism or cavil at their authors. We must recognize the exploits Marx, Engels and Lenin performed for mankind and respect them. Thanks to the creation of Marxism-Leninism, the socialist theory developed from fantasy to science; the working class was able to have a guiding ideology for the first time in history and they could struggle vigorously against capital and for class emancipation, national liberation and socialism. Respecting the authors of the theories is an obligation on us in view of the principle of the juniors of the revolution respecting their seniors.
When writing articles about the limitations of Marxism-Leninism we must not fail to explain the exploits their creators accomplished. Only then can we give a correct understanding of Marxism-Leninism to the people and deal a blow to the imperialists and bourgeois restorationists who are caviling at this ideology.
In order to correctly write about the limitations of the theories expounded by Marxism-Leninism, one must have a good knowledge of the originality and superiority of the revolutionary ideology of our Party, the Juche idea. The Juche idea is an original idea and perfect revolutionary theory of communism the great leader created reflecting the requirements of the new era of history, the era of independence. If we clarify the originality and superiority of the Juche idea effectively, then the limitations of the theories of Marxism-Leninism will be revealed on its own accord.
The officials in the field of theoretical information should study the Juche idea hard and learn in depth its originality and superiority. They should also study classical works like The Capital to become well-informed of Marxism-Leninism.
Songs of high ideological and artistic qualities should be created in a large number. Such songs instil faith in the cause of socialism and strong will in the hearts of the people encouraging them to greater efforts. Don't Advance, Night of Pyongyang is one of these songs. This song will encourage the soldiers of the Korean People's Army and our people even in days of war. I still feel strength welling up whenever I listen to the song. A man must know how to appreciate the songs. There cannot be life divorced from song. In the days of war not only songs but also broadcasting encourage the soldiers and people. During the Second World War Yuri Levitan, an announcer of the Soviet Union, broadcast the reports of the Supreme Headquarters, rousing the Soviet soldiers and people to victory in the war. He became famous for his broadcasting. Furious, Hitler ordered that Levitan should be the first to be killed after the occupation of Moscow. Our announcers, too, do their job efficiently. They will do their share as they should in time of war.
These days the sector of the art of music has produced many songs of high ideological and artistic qualities. Don't Advance, Night of Pyongyang is an excellent song for its high ideological and artistic qualities. So is If Our Mother Party Wishes. The text of the latter song is written well.
In future the musical art sector must create many songs which become a national treasure with high ideological and artistic qualities. Songs of this kind are not something special. They are those the leader and the people enjoy singing. Except for the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, the artistic organizations now fail to produce such songs in a great number. These organizations must produce many songs of national treasure with material based on life. In order to create these songs, one must make it a habit to produce them to be pleasant with the materials derived from life. One cannot produce excellent songs if one proceeds from a subjective desire to create songs of national treasure. If songs describe life and people enjoy singing them, they become national treasures. To achieve this, creative workers must absorb themselves in the lives of people and get themselves fully acquainted with the people's aspiration and demands.
Songs must be portrayed well. If a song is not portrayed well, it cannot prove its worth no matter how excellent it is.

CPRK Flails S. Korean Authorities′ Moves to Intercept Websites
Pyongyang, November 10 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea released its information bulletin No. 986 Thursday to condemn the south Korean authorities' desperate efforts to intercept websites praising the DPRK.
The bulletin said:
The south Korean puppet clique is nowadays trying to intercept the pro-north websites praising the DPRK and calling for alliance and reunification with it after forming a joint investigation group made up of the prosecution, police, broadcasting communication commission and others.
It declared a "war against the pro-north websites", crying that the number of those websites has rapidly increased every year to reach the level of threatening the system. It is clamping down on those websites at random while harshly repressing the organizations and persons who posted on Internet articles and animation files lauding the DPRK.
Such fascist moves are one more rude violation of human rights and treacherous deed, and they are an extension of the campaign for confrontation with the DPRK.
This action is nothing but a last-ditch effort of those driven into a tight corner as it is aimed to arrest the desire for alliance and reunification with the DPRK growing stronger in south Korea and tide over the ruling crisis by quailing the progressive forces obstructive to the maintenance of power.
In the present era when the Internet was spread over the whole world the south Korean authorities punish its users, branding them as "elements benefiting the enemy". This rude violence is a deed of going against civilization, and it clearly shows how ruthlessly human rights are violated in south Korea.
They are heinous anti-reunification fanatics keen on confrontation with fellow countrymen and indifferent to even elementary human rights, the worst violator of human rights and dusts of history that should be removed without delay.
Faith and conscience can never be quelled with fascist repression and people's desire cannot be checked with bayonet and prison.
The puppet group should stop at once its foolish repressive campaign aimed at arresting the south Korean people's desire for alliance and reunification with the DPRK, squarely seeing their mindset and the trend of the times. -0-

Class Contradiction Can Never Be Settled in Capitalist Society--Rodong Sinmun
Class Contradiction Can Never Be Settled in Capitalist Society--Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- Social and class contradiction can never be settled in capitalist society, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a bylined article.
The recent demos, which swept over the world under such slogans as "We oppose to capitalism", "Give us jobs", "Elimination of poverty" and "We are 99%", have made a great impact on capitalist countries, the article says, adding:
Those mass demos staged in metropolises of capitalist countries are a result of the extremely sharpened social and class contradiction that the rich get ever richer and poor get ever poorer.
"We are 99%" is one of the slogans raised by working people in capitalist countries in their demos. It means that the privileged circles accounting for less than one percent of population seize the most of social property while working masses accounting for 99% suffer from destitution and poverty.
The demos are not sporadic ones but global ones as they were premeditated and popularized on a worldwide scale. They are little different from a social and political quake that crippled the governments of capitalist countries. These global demos struck fear into the governments of capitalist countries which boasted of their development.
The demos prove that the more capitalism develops the wider and sharper gap between poor and rich and the social and class contradiction become, thus bringing earlier its bankruptcy.
The advocators of capitalism have so far argued, peddling the theory of "class cooperation" and the "third choice", that it is possible in capitalist society to remove class contradiction and make a compromise between classes.
But, the present reality proves that such argument is groundless. In capitalist society the social and class contradiction does not decrease but is growing more acute with each passing day.
Capitalism is not a society desired by humankind. Sweeping over the world is the wind of making overall analysis of and rejecting capitalism. -0-

Socialism Advances Full of Vigor and Energy
Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) -- Leader
He affirmed that socialism, the ideal and revolutionary banner of the popular masses struggling for independence, is sure to be revived and win in the end.
The scientific accuracy of his strong affirmation has been proved in practice.
Socialism is greeting a new heyday after dealing a heavy blow to capitalism.
More than 270 political parties are struggling to defend and advance the socialist cause under the banner of the Pyongyang Declaration.
It has become the irreversible main trend of the times to reject capitalism and aspire after socialism.
Social conversion from capitalism to socialism is taking place in Latin America which suffered much more damage by American-style "globalization" than other regions.
Absolute superiority of socialism over capitalism has been clearly proved in the revolutionary practice to overturn the old and create the new.
Socialists, working class, oppressed people and nations in different countries are holding aloft the banner of socialism, breaking the chain of capitalism.
The reality goes to prove that the trust of the world people in socialism is growing deeper.
Socialism has gained rich experience and lesson in the course of overcoming painful setback and ordeals and is advancing full of vigor and energy with the broader and firmer class foundation.
All the forces are aspiring after socialism, the forces protecting peace against war of aggression and advocating democracy, freedom, equality and justice and the forces loving the country and defending the people's right and interests.
The present era is that of a historical turn in which capitalism is itching close to the end and the world people are dynamically advancing along the road of independence and socialism.
Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses, man-centered socialism, is the most scientific, advantageous and powerful one.
The history of modern Korea is that of victorious socialism in which the nation's dignity and sovereignty have been reliably defended in the do-or-die showdown with capitalism.
It is the miracle of history that the DPRK, which is standing in showdown with the U.S. imperialists in the crucible of acute confrontation between socialism and capitalism, could push forward socialist construction and bring about a turning phase of the grand advance for prosperity.
Peoples of many countries are struggling to revive the socialist movement with the firm resolve to take the road of socialism while looking up to the DPRK as the beacon of hope. This fact goes to prove it is right and proud that the DPRK carved out and has defended Korean-style socialism according to its faith and resolution no matter how and what others do. Anyone with discretion recognizes that the road chosen by the DPRK is right.
In the DPRK all the people are closely united as one on the basis of the revolutionary obligation and comradeship and help and lead each other forward on the principle of one for all and all for one.
This picture is unthinkable in capitalist society, and it is the highest pride of our society and the source of the Korean people's great happiness and invincible strength. -0-
Thoughts "Socialism Is a Science"
A few days has passed since November 1st which was the 17th anniversary of the briiliant work of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il " Socialism Is A Science "
http://www.uk-songun.com/index.php?p=1_47_SOCIALISM-IS-A-SCIENCE-KIM-JONG-IL
I read through the work the other night and it is brilliant. Without any doubt or contradiction the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il was the only leader of a socialist country and ruling party to firmly assert the validity of socialism in the difficult period of the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR . The work is at least equal in stature to the "Communist Manifesto" or Lenin's "Imperialism " . Everyone should read this work.
Some quotes from the work
Socialism is a science. Socialism has been frustrated in a number of countries, but scientific socialism is as alive as ever in the minds of the people. The imperialists and reactionaries are fussing about the "end of socialism", with regard to the events in some countries, which had been building socialism. The renegades of socialism try to justify their despicable betrayal, claiming that the ideal of socialism itself is invalid. However, the truth cannot be concealed or obliterated. The crumbling of socialism in various countries does not mean the failure of socialism as science but the bankruptcy of opportunism, which has corrupted socialism. Although socialism is temporarily experiencing a heart--rending setback because of opportunism, it will without fail be revived and win ultimate victory for its scientific accuracy and truth.
The exploiter class and their stooges put forward the "theory of class cooperation" and tried to block the struggle of the exploited working masses against exploitation and oppression. Within the communist movement, reformists and revisionists demanded "class cooperation" and seriously harmed the revolutionary movement, Today, traitors to socialism are also clamoring for a return to capitalism, harboring illusions about capitalism and expecting "aid" and "cooperation" from the imperialists. History shows that to expect "good will" or "class cooperation" from the exploiter class is to make a mess of the revolution.
