Rodong Sinmun on Western-Style "Democracy"
Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- Wars and bloodshed are steadily breaking out in various countries and regions which accepted the western-style "democracy", says Rodong Sinmun Friday in an article.

It goes on:

The imperialists are entirely to blame for all these happenings as they abuse democracy as a means for attaining their sinister purpose.

They use "democracy" as a lever for interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and infringing upon national sovereignty.

They unreasonably assert that western-style "democracy" is the most universal one to be accepted by the world in a bid to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. They are forcing "liberalization" and "polycentrism" in the field of ideology and politics, taking issue with economy, education, culture, diplomatic policy, etc. of other countries.

While calling into question the social system and politics of other countries, they employ the method of bringing down a sovereign state with huge armed forces involved, talking about "offer of democracy" when an opportunity presents itself.

Their trumpeting about "democracy" is a curtain raiser to the interference in the internal affairs of other countries and war of aggression against them.

The anti-imperialist independent countries and those countries which pursue progressive politics are principal targets of vicious interference in their internal affairs being perpetrated by the imperialists under the signboard of "democracy."

It is the lesson taught by history and reality that if a country and nation accept western-style "democracy," taken in by hypocrisy and pressure of the imperialists, they are bound to go to ruin.
