Songun Policy Is Invincible Mode of Politics Embodying Revolutionary Comradeship
2004-11-13
More flying spittle than sitting in the orchestra seats at a Gallagher show. Get out your plastic sheeting and duct tape.
Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea is an invincible mode of politics combining armed forces with revolutionary comradeship, declares Rodong Sinmun in a signed article today.

It goes on: The source of the might of a revolutionary army lies in political and ideological advantages and what is most important here is the unity of the armed forces based on revolutionary comradeship. The Korean revolution was pioneered and has been victoriously led forward by the might of the armed forces closely united in revolutionary comradeship. The combination of the armed forces with revolutionary comradeship is growing tighter and is displaying its invincible might in the revolution and construction thanks to the Songun politics of the WPK.

The Korean People's Army firmly rallied around Kim Jong Il, supreme commander of the KPA, in revolutionary comradeship is struggling devotedly for defense and prosperity of the country and its commanders and fighters united in one body are carrying through the orders of the supreme commander with all devotion. The KPA is one body of common destiny sharing will and life and death with the headquarters of revolution. It is ruled not by simple relations of order and obedience but by the ties of love and sense of duty and it is overflowing with the resolution to lay down its life for the headquarters of revolution. This is entirely a shining fruition of the Songun politics of the WPK.
Mmmmm...fruit.
No force on earth can match the might of the People's Army united in one body around the headquarters of revolution with death-defying resolution. Under the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il, the might of the People's Army will increase further still day by day, grow a hundred-fold. Korean-style socialism in which oneness of the army and the people in ideology and fighting morale has been definitely achieved will make a steadfast advance without vacillation in any raging storm.
I'd like to think this makes more sense in the original Korean, but my guess is, it doesn't. Did anyone see where I put the Sledge-O-Matic?

#11  The bit about "shining fruition" was pretty cool, though. I guess that's revolutionary jargon for wax fruit or something.

#8  How does one tell any particular NK article from any other? Just by the order of words? 'cause the words used NEVER changes, only the order.

#5  This is self-justifying spittle, not anti-US spittle, so I can't rate it. Lame, lame, lame.
(Sorry to quibble SON - Arianism was the doctrine that Jesus was not God, but a lesser divine being, and Nicea was under Constantine.)

#2  Good spittle spray, lots o songun, no lake of fire, no direct mention of Juche or white slag, a good positive theme stressing unity.

I give it a smiling 7, for old times sake.
