Invincibility of Korean-Style Socialism

Amid the sanctions imposed by the hostile forces on the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea gaining momentum,
the country is reporting one successful event after another in its
efforts to strengthen its defence capacity and build its-economy.
What has made the small country so invincible?
First of all, the people have been guided by great leaders.
The territory, population and economic power are not all
that determines the strength and weakness of a country.
Korea was subjected to military occupation and colonial rule
for 40 years by imperialist Japan; it had to fight a war (1950-
1953) against the imperialist aggression. Since then it has had to
experience all manner of trials and difficulties for decades owing
to the constant threat of war and moves by the hostile forces
to stifle it. However, under the leadership of their successive
leaders, the Korean people have built and defended the
socialism and built theirs into a country that no force dare attack.
Kim Jong Un, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the
DPRK, who is carrying forward the cause of his predecessors,
President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il, has come under
the political limelight of the world as the most distinguished
political leader of the modern era.
Kim Jong Un is a matchless master of ideology and theory,
an attractive politician possessed of a high level of peopleoriented art of leadership, a versatile statesman, a man who
implements without fail and on the highest level what he has
planned to do, a brilliant commander possessed of unexcelled
courage and mettle and resolute and adroit temperament, and the
supreme defender of the prestige of his nation–this is part of the
comment by mass media of the world. The history and reality
of the DPRK testify to the fact that if the leader of a country
is great, the country, though small, can become powerful.
Second, the Korean people have achieved single-hearted unity
with their leader.
United single-heartedly around their Supreme Leader
Kim Jong Un, they are demonstrating the prestige of their
country with unprecedented strength and miraculous events.
The basis of the single-hearted unity of the leader, the ruling
Workers’ Party of Korea and the masses, which serves as the
source of viability of the Korean-style socialism, has been the
affection of the people cherished by the leaders of the country.
Socialism of the Korean style, which embodies the idea
of “The people are my God” cherished by the President
Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il, is now being
consolidated and developing thanks to the politics of loving
the people administered by Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.
The might of the single-hearted unity of the Korean people,
who defend and support the ideology and leadership of their
leader, symbolic of the sovereignty and prestige of their
country and the safety and destiny of their nation, and turn
out to accomplish his intentions with one mind, constitutes
the motive force that assures the invincibility of the DPRK.
Third, the Korean people regard the socialism as valuable as their
life itself. In the late 1990s socialism collapsed in several countries,
but the DPRK defended and developed it. This is attributable
to the fact that Korean-style socialism is people-centered.
Carrying forward the cause of his predecessors, Kim Jong Un
is always concerned with the wellbeing of his people. Mingling
with them, he listens carefully to what they have to say, and
ensures that their thoughts and demands are reflected in the
policies of the Party and state. And it is his iron rule to give
top and absolute priority to people’s interests and convenience.
It is quite natural that the Korean people regard socialism
as valuable as their life itself. Fourth, the propellant of their
advance is self-reliance.
The history of the Korean revolution is the one pioneered
and advanced on the strength of self-reliance. Propelled by the
spirit of self-reliance, the Korean people achieved the liberation
of their country, emerged victorious in postwar reconstruction
and realized socialist industrialization, thus building theirs
into a socialist country equipped with solid foundations of an
independent economy and strong self-defence capabilities.
In the face of extreme moves for sanctions by the hostile
forces, this country is achieving remarkable successes one after
another in economic construction and improving the people’s
standard of living, this is a demonstration of its capabilities for
self-development. By displaying the spirit of self-reliance,
the Korean people are achieving innovative and miraculous
successes in developing science and technology and building
the economy, thus thwarting the enemy’s moves for sanctions.
Western mass media including Reuters and Independent of Britain
reported: Even though north Korea is under harsh sanctions, its
economy is developing; particularly, the highest growth rate of its
economy is striking the world with admiration.
