Collectivism, Mode of Revolution of Korean People
Pyongyang, February 3 (KCNA) -- Collectivism is the true picture of Korean-style socialism and mode of revolution peculiar to the Korean people.

The Korean people have been able to weather through rigorous difficulties in the revolution unflinchingly and win one victory after another in the foregone and present centuries because they have strictly adhered to collectivism, the life and soul of socialism.

It is the truth of the times elucidated by the Juche-based revolutionary theory that man, to whom collectivism is intrinsic demand, can exist only when he is active in a social collective and can transform nature and society only by collectivist cooperation of members of society.

The history of the world socialist movement gives the serious lesson that socialism makes a leaping progress when collectivism is given full scope and it degenerates gradually and collapses when collectivism is eroded.

Collectivism has become the inherent moral traits and universal way of life of all the people in the DPRK and the principle of collectivism has become the main principle firmly maintained in all the sectors of socialist construction.

It is with the might of collectivism that the army and people of Korea have won victory after victory in anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. confrontation and wrought miracles in leaping forward to a great, prosperous and powerful nation in the worst adversities over the last 10-odd years.

Korean-style socialism is demonstrating its grand sight as an invincible bastion, most solid and powerful, in which the headquarters of revolution and the Party, the army and the people form a harmonious whole, the supreme crystallization of collectivism.

No force on earth can break the single-minded unity which the Korean people treasure more than their own lives.

The noble collectivist traits prevail in the whole society under the slogan "One for all, all for one!" in Korea where all sectors are pushed forward by the creative power of the entire army and people united by comradely relationship.

The boundless devotion and mass heroism the Korean people have displayed for the development and prosperity of the collective, helping and pulling each other along, find their traces in the cooperative fields which have taken on new looks as befits the land of socialist Korea, monumental edifices of the Songun era including the Wonsan Youth Power Station, the Kaechon-Lake Thaesong Waterway and the Youth Hero Motorway and the flames of great upsurge blazing in Kangson and other areas of the country.

Now the Korean people are working with fortitude to win the final victory of the cause of building a great, prosperous and powerful nation by their own mode of revolution, regarding it the greatest pride to live and struggle under the socialist system where the collectivist demand is fully met.
