Rodong Sinmun Calls upon Youth to Take Lead in Struggle for Independence, Peace against Imperialism
Pyongyang, August 28 (KCNA) -- The prevailing situation calls upon the youth to take the lead in the struggle against the imperialists who wreck world peace and security, in order to protect the country and the nation and for the sake of themselves and the future of mankind, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in an article.

The future of mankind hinges on how the youth live and struggle for the human cause of independence and global peace and security, the article notes, and goes on:

Very important are the mission and duty of the youth in preventing a war, defending world peace and security and building a new independent world.

The youth loving justice and truth should respond to the demand of the era by devoting their burning enthusiasm to this struggle.

They should struggle against the bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning by the imperialists. The imperialists are introducing into other countries lots of newspapers, books, magazines, photos, paintings, films and music videos which are peppered with bizarre and decadent contents. These are aimed to make the youth have interest in bourgeois ideology and culture and, through it, let them become mentally crippled and slaves subservient to them and thus reduce them to victims to the moves for aggression and war.

The youth should clearly understand this and fight it out without an inch of concession against the base and vicious moves of the imperialists to benumb the thinking power and mentality of the rising generation.

In order to discharge their noble mission for the era and mankind, the youth should strengthen international friendship and unity.

There is nothing impossible if the youth are firmly united under the banner of independence, peace and friendship.
