Struggle against Anti-Socialist Moves Called for
Pyongyang, January 18 (KCNA) -- In order to defend and successfully advance socialism it is necessary to wage an uncompromising struggle against the anti-socialist moves.

Rodong Sinmun Monday urges this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The reality of the countries where socialism collapsed and capitalism was revived teaches the truth that one should mercilessly fight the enemies of socialism and the class enemies without the slightest compromise and a bitter lesson that giving up socialism leads to death whereas defending it leads to victory.

Imperialists run the whole gamut of vicious moves like despicable plots and mud-slinging, appeasement, deception, threat and blackmail and pressure after singling out the socialist countries and other countries aspiring after socialism as main targets of their attack.

This is evidenced by the imperialists' desperate moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK, Cuba, etc. Therefore, a resolute uncompromising struggle should be waged against the imperialists to defend socialism.

It is also important to struggle against allies and stooges of the imperialists.

A fierce struggle should be waged against the class enemies within the socialist society.

All those who try to destabilize the socialist society are the enemies of socialism. They include remnants of the exploiting classes who harbor antipathy towards the socialist system, those who work hard overtly and covertly to bring down the socialist system after being greased by imperialists, those who have degenerated ideologically and morally, taken in by the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning and those who are introducing corrupt bourgeois way of life into society. Only when a fierce struggle is waged against them is it possible to protect and reinforce the position of socialism.

The peoples of all the progressive countries of the world aspiring after socialism are called upon to wage a staunch struggle to foil the vicious anti-socialist moves of the enemies of socialism and achieve progress and victory of the popular masses' cause of independence, the cause of socialism.
