It goes on:

Comprehensively expounded in the work are theories on ideological work of socialism ranging from the significance and importance of the ideological work in carrying out the socialist cause to the essence and tasks of the working-class party's ideological work and its contents and ways.

Kim Jong Il has steered the Korean people's struggle to victory, clearly illuminating the road ahead of the times and the revolution through his tireless ideo-theoretical activities. And with his Songun politics based on the theory of ideology he has realized the army- people unity in ideology and work-style, thus further increasing the might of the revolutionary ranks. This is a vivid expression of the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il who has guided the socialist cause by dint of ideology.

He also saw to it that forms and methods of ideological work were steadily improved in keeping with the requirements of the developing reality to intensify the drive for a great revolutionary surge.

In recent years he made public a number of works and letters and advanced the new ideas of great surge one after another to remarkably enhance the mental power of Kim Il Sung's nation and indicate a shortcut to making leap forward and innovations. Thanks to such energetic ideo-theoretical activities of his, a fresh turn is now being brought in building a thriving nation and the Korean revolution is making long strides full of vigor.

The army and people of the DPRK are working world-startling miracles and feats by dint of the army-people unity at every construction sites for great surge.

All the people are pushing ahead with the drive for a great surge to build an economic power and improve the standard of people's living in the spirit of single-minded unity, strong self-respect of the nation, self-reliance and fortitude and with warm love and devotion for the future. This is the true picture of Korean-style socialism, concludes the article.
