Future of Humankind Is Guaranteed under Socialism

Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Socialism is greeting a new heyday after dealing a heavy blow to capitalism.

Historical turn has been made in which the scheme of the imperialists and reactionaries to stamp out socialism ended in smoke and socialism was revived and strengthened.

The red flag of socialism is firmly defended in Asian and Latin American countries including China, Vietnam, Laos and Cuba despite the imperialists' vicious challenge and disturbance.

More than 270 political parties have struggled to defend and advance the socialist cause under the banner of the Pyongyang Declaration.

Social conversion from capitalism to socialism is taking place in Latin America which suffered much more damage from the U.S.-style "globalization" than any other region.

Progressive parties and personages have won in the elections to take power as they call for priority to the interests of the popular masses, not to those of a handful of the privileged circle, and independent development of their countries.

This is a political tendency rampant in not only Latin American countries such as Venezuela, Brazil, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru but the rest of the world.

Shortly ago, Bolivian President Evo Morales said that capitalism is not able to solve the problems facing the mankind and the new century belongs to the peoples.

According to a poll made public by BBC of the UK, the majority of the respondents complained of the capitalist system based on free market economy while supporting the socialist idea.

Citizens of 15 countries involved in the poll demanded the nationalization of big businesses and the state control over the most of the stocks. This opinion was expressed most strongly by inhabitants in those countries where capitalism was restored, by 77% in Russia and 75% in Ukraine.

At a forum on "Future of capitalism" cosponsored by Japan's newspaper Asahi Shimbun and Tokyo University, Katsuto Iwai, professor of the Economy Faculty of Tokyo University, said: Socialism is no longer foe of capitalism. New foe is laissez-faire, the ideological viewpoint of capitalism.

Even though bourgeois reactionaries and their servants have got hell-bent on crackdown on the "Occupy Wall Street" demos by mobilizing mounted police and helicopters, the fighting spirit of the peoples in the demos to get rid of exploitation and oppression by capital is running higher.

The reality goes to prove that the more capitalism reveals its reactionary nature and weakness, the deeper the world people's trust in socialism grows.

Socialism gained rich experience and lessons in the course of going through painful setbacks and trials and is advancing full of vigor and energy on a broader and more solid class basis.

All the forces are aspiring after socialism, the forces that are opposed to war of aggression and advocate world peace, democracy, freedom, equality and justice and the forces that love countries and struggle to protect rights and interests of their peoples.

The present era is that of historical turn in which the world people are dynamically advancing toward independence and socialism while capitalism is nearing its end.

Future of humankind depends on socialism as a science. -0

Victory of Socialism Is Inevitable: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday carries a by-lined article dedicated to the 17th anniversary of the publication of leader Kim Jong Il's work "Socialism Is a Science".

The work, published on November 1, Juche 83(1994), comprehensively clarifies the absolute advantages of socialism over capitalism, the limitation of the preceding socialist theory, the originality of the Juche-oriented socialist theory and the inevitability of victory in Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses.

If there are people, there is the idea of socialism and if socialism remains, independence and justice exist, the article says, stressing socialism is sure to emerge victorious as it is the independent desire of the people and their will.

Korean socialism represents a big family in which all its members are united in single mind. This family wins one victory after another thanks to the driving force of the Songun revolution which makes steady progress under the leadership of the party and the leader. Under this socialism the revolutionary principle of collectivism has been firmly adhered to in all fabrics of social life and the people's worthwhile life and happiness have been brought into full bloom thanks to the leader's politics of loving care and trust, it notes.

The driving force of the Korean revolution has grown stronger in every way since the historic Conference of the Workers' Party of Korea, it says, adding:

The army and the people have dynamically advanced toward a new victory of the Juche revolution while sharing the same thought and will with the headquarters of the revolution and keeping pace with them.

In the ongoing advance for a great surge the Korean people have boosted the comradely cooperation and unity at every unit and post under the slogan "One for All and All for One!", thus fully displaying popular heroism in socialist construction.

Absolute and steadfast are the support and confidence of the Korean people in the mother party which has created an epic of great loving care and devotion to the people under the slogan "We Serve the People!" despite the grave trials of history. -0-

Statement in support of the just stand of the DPRK in relationship to the nuclear question

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

The UK Korean Friendship Association together with the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and Juche Idea Study Group of England today issued the following statement on the stance of the DPRK regarding the nuclear issue as expressed by the answers given by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il to the ITAR-TASS news agency on the 13th of October.

The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army clarified the stand of the DPRK towards the six-party talks and denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula in his answers to the Russian news agency ITAR-TASS on October 13th.

The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il explained that the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula was caused entirely by the US and its hostile stance towards the DPRK. Thanks to the US imperialists there is a danger of war in many parts of the world including Korea. The US wants to fight a nuclear war in Korea but this could quickly develop into a global thermo-nuclear war.
The way to prevent this , as clarified by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il, as to resume the 6 party talks without further preconditions and implement existing agreements.

We, UK KFA, ASSPUK and JISGE, believe the US must end its nuclear threat to the DPRK and pull out is nuclear weapons out of Korea as well withdrawing its armed forces and should cease its hostile policies. The US and its allies(also satellite states and puppets) claim that they want the 6-party talks to resume but make this prospect complicated by trying to create preconditions.
The stand of the DPRK as expressed by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il is a just one based on the will for peace but also based on valuing sovereignty and the supreme interests of the nation. We support the efforts of the DPRK for denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula based on the principle of independence.

Socialism Represents Future of Mankind

Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- It has been 17 years since leader Kim Jong Il authored celebrated work "Socialism Is a Science" on November 1, 1994.

In the work, a great charter of scientific socialism in the present era, he proved the truth and invincibility of socialism in an all-round way, saying that it is as alive as ever in the minds of the people.

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.

History is dynamically advancing along the road of victorious socialism indicated by him.

Towards the end of the last century the imperialists and reactionaries fussed about the "end" of socialism with regard to the events in some countries where capitalism was revived.

They even asserted historical "end" of socialism while advertising about "eternity" of capitalism.

But the new century shows the reality quite contrary to such assertion.

Capitalism, which is based on individualism and under which social relationship is mainly characterized by class antagonism and struggle, is now in the grip of the worst crisis, rejected everywhere in the world for its structural contradiction and reactionary nature.

It has found itself in more serious crisis since it sought "globalization" while clamoring about the "end" of socialism.

Neo-liberalism brought catastrophe and misfortune to various countries as it calls for "multi-party system" and "democracy" in politics and extreme liberalism and individualism in economy.

Financial liberalization pursuant to "globalization" stoked speculation and deepened financial crisis worldwide.

The U.S. and other capitalist countries of the West which pushed ahead with "globalization" are in the grip of its whirlpool.

Capitalism was revived with the U.S. imperialism as a core after the Second World War and elated in high spirit since the end of the Cold War. But it is now being shaken to its roots from its center.

The U.S. finds itself in the bottomless abyss of ruin due to the "war on terrorism" it called Third World War, just as the past fascist powers met self-destruction in the disastrous world wars against humanity.

The financial crisis which occurred in the U.S. is developing into the capitalist world crisis, sharpening class contradiction. The revolutionary advance of the oppressed working masses such as "Occupy Wall Street" demo is being intensified on a worldwide scale.

Financial supremacy, the last mainstay of U.S. imperialism, is on the point of collapse.

Illusion about the U.S. dollars has grown thinner.

The era is coming to an end when a minority of capitalist powers have exploited and plundered a majority of countries and peoples freely.

Internal contradiction and antagonism under capitalism are also getting serious.

The imperialists find a way out of the capitalist crisis in war, as evidenced by wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and other countries of the world.

Other Western powers are following in the road of ruin taken by the U.S. for "anti-terrorism war."

Socialism is greeting a new heyday after dealing a heavy blow to capitalism.

Historical turn has been made in which the scheme of the imperialists and reactionaries to stamp out socialism ended in smoke and socialism was revived and strengthened.

More than 270 political parties have struggled to defend and advance the socialist cause under the banner of the Pyongyang Declaration.

It has become a main trend of the times to reject capitalism and aspire after socialism.

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 more capitalism reveals its reactionary nature and weakness, the deeper the world people's trust in socialism grows.

The present era is that of historical turn in which the world people are dynamically advancing toward independence and socialism while capitalism is nearing its end.

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.

Great victory of Korean socialism--this is the main review of the century-long history of Kim Il Sung's Korea.

Future of humankind depends on socialism as a science. -0-

CPRK Hits Anti-DPRK War Exercises

Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea Saturday released its information bulletin No. 985 to condemn the south Korean warmongers for launching provocative anti-DPRK war exercises Hoguk across south Korea on October 27.

Involved in the exercises to last till Nov. 4 are more than 140 000 troops of the three services and the marine corps of the south Korean puppet forces and U.S. forces and various military equipment, including warships, fighters and helicopters, it said, and went on:

The frantic war exercises are being conducted on the ground and in the air and sea.

In particular, the south Korean puppet army is staging large-scale rehearsal in Paekryong Island on the West Sea of Korea, an area standing in acute military confrontation with the DPRK, while seeking to have joint landing exercises with the U.S. imperialist aggression forces in Phohang, North Kyongsang Province.

The exercises are a blatant challenge to the public opinion at home and abroad desirous of peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and an unpardonable military provocation to the DPRK.

The south Korean puppet military asserts that the current exercises are to cope with the "local provocation" by someone. But it is nothing but sophism to cover up their belligerence and deceive the people at home and abroad critical of them.

The Hoguk exercises are a very dangerous preliminary war for invasion of the DPRK as they may go over to an actual war anytime in view of scale and content of armed forces involved and their intensity.

The reality clearly shows that the U.S. and the south Korean authorities talk about "dialogue" but, in actuality, are watching for a chance to ignite a war by aggravating the situation on the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity.

No one can guess when the puppet warmongers' reckless war exercises and military provocation would spill into what crisis.

As there is the saying "Curses come home to roost", their frantic moves for confrontation and war against the DPRK will only hasten their own destruction.

The south Korean authorities should stop at once the reckless military actions, clearly mindful of catastrophic consequences to be entailed by their scheme to provoke a war. -0-

Warning to Ruin of Capitalism

Warning to Ruin of Capitalism

The struggle against capitalism begun at the Wall Street, Manhattan of the US on September 17 is sweeping over the world.

In south Korea, too, on October 15 as the US protesters set as an “international action day” and called for positive response, fierce struggles took place in different parts of Seoul against poverty, economic inequality and social polarization.

Members of over 400 civic organizations including the Financial Consumers’ Association, the Joint Conference for Restoring the Right of the Financial Consumers, the Center for Supervising Invested Capital and the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, and workers held a rally in Yoido, home to financial capital. They condemned the privileged rich, less than 1% of the population, which exploit 99% of absolute majority of the people.

The participants noted that there are many students who commit suicide for the registration fee, old people who lost the money they saved in their lifetime due to the crimes of the financial organs and workers who lost their jobs due to the speculative capitalists, and criticized the “government” which should supervise and control the capitalists’ deeds but shields them.

That day in front of the US embassy, members of civic organizations urged US president Obama’ apology and the revision of south Korea-US “Status of Forces Agreement” in regard to the atrocious crimes perpetrated by the US occupation troops in recent days.

On the same day, some 500 people including members of civic organizations and labor circles and students held a rally in front of Deoksu Palace demanding the checking of south Korea-US FTA and the settlement of the registration fee issue and unemployment crisis of young people.

Participants in rallies and demos taken place in different parts of Seoul that day called for struggle in united efforts against the exploitation of greedy capital and staged protest actions chanting such slogans as “Occupy Seoul!”, “We condemn the avarice of financial capital and the social polarization!” and “Money kills people”.

Capitalism based on swindle, lies, hypocrisy, vanity, mammonism, the law of the jungle, individualism and liberty is the root cause of all the misfortune and sufferings and is doomed to ruin for its structural contradiction and social ills.

The society which reflects the human aspirations for independent living and development is the socialist society where the popular masses are master of everything and everything serves them.

Cheongwadae, Foothold of Irregularities and Corruption

Cheongwadae, Foothold of Irregularities and Corruption With the scandalous cases of irregularities and corruption of the conservative ruling force being disclosed one after another in south Korea, the people's wrath gets higher. Kim Du-ou, chief secretary for public information in Cheongwadae, was arrested on September 28 for receiving a huge amount of money and bribe from the Busan Savings Bank, former vice-ministers of the Knowledge and Economy Ministry and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Ministry became the target of denunciation from the public for getting graft from the businesses. Besides, family members and relatives of the current chief executive are ridiculed and censured for their irregularities committed under his patronage. To make the matter worse, the chief executive was implicated in a scandal when buying a mansion for his family after the retirement, sparking off the public shock. It was disclosed days ago that under a secret contract between the presidential guard and the chief executive’s family and the owner of the building, the family bought expensive land cheaply by a price 1.3 times than the declared price, and the presidential guard bought cheap land expensively by a price 4 times than the declared price dissipating the state treasure. In this regard, the political quarters and various circles in south Korea now termed this case as a scandal of misappropriating the state budget by the president, unprecedented in political history, and reprimand him saying “President Lee Myung-bak should shoulder the responsibility for the issue of the Naegok-dong private mansion, stained with all sorts of illegality and filthy expediency”. The true colors of Cheongwadae, foothold of irregularities and corruption, were brought into a bolder relief after the chief executive’s scandal of buying an enormous lot of land for his private mansion was exposed to the public. Sky-high is the south Korean people's wrath toward the chief executive and his clan who committed irregularities to satisfy their greed only while lots of people lose their jobs and suicide for snowballing debts and the children’s registration fee. Stinking junk must be removed cleanly. Only when the conservative group which persists in committing corruption and decadency, seeking their wealth and prosperity indifferent to the people's miserable living is uprooted as early as possible, is it possible to realize true justice and democracy and eradicate all social evils.
