| Establishment of Juche Character Called for | |
| 2004-10-16 | |
KCNA -- The Korean nation should firmly establish its Juche character if it is to achieve concord and reunification, breaking through ordeals and difficulties standing in the way of the cause of reunification.
In order to preserve the cause of independent reunification and lead it to victory it is imperative for the Korean nation to resolutely reject outside forces' interference in its internal affairs and independently resolve all the problems arising in achieving reunification by its concerted efforts. The Korean nation should firmly establish the Juche character in accomplishing the cause of national reunification so as to meet foreign forces' aggressive and anti-reunification challenge and more dynamically push ahead with national reconciliation, unity and reunification process. Flunkeyism and dependence on foreign forces are fundamentally contrary to the era of reunification after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration. It is impossible to stop outsiders from interfering in and obstructing the cause of reunification and promote reconciliation, unity, cooperation and interchange between the north and the south as long as flunkeyism and dependence on foreign forces remain. The establishment of the Juche character makes it possible to put an end to flunkeyism and dependence on outsiders. The united struggle of the Korean nation firmly armed with the Juche character is a decisive strength to do away with flunkeyism and the idea of depending on outsiders. Only when the Korean nation establishes the Juche character in the movement for reunification can it strengthen the driving force of reunification in every way, foil flunkeyism, dependence on foreign forces and anti-national pro-American cooperation and continue to step up the advance of the era of independence and reunification with the might of national cooperation. The establishment of the Juche character is the lifeline for the cause of national reunification. The Korean nation should push aside all challenges to reunification by the might of Juche, the might of unity, and push forward the cause of independent reunification. | |

| #17 *holds up card* 6.5 A pathetic performance, marred by lack of any obsequitiousness to Fearless Leader or mention of Army First policy. The grass diet is most likely a contributing factor... |

| #16 It's possible that it could be addressed to SK. If it is, saying that the only way for reunification to occur is to adopt North Korea's political philosophy is a definite non-starter. |

| #12 This KCNA article is actually addressed to the South Koreans, with "flunkeyism" (i.e., kowtowing to the Americans) being today's "heresy du jour". It's not completely clear whether this is the standard garbage to fill the Rodong Sinmun's pages or if it's in response to a recent relevation in the Southern press of the existence of contingency plans in the South to be exercised if North's current regime were to fall. |

| #11 Right-o Pappy. How can you inspire a personaity based cult based on a puffy-haired pervert like Kimmy? And you cannot hang onto the dead, like Mao, or Lenin. Years after their departure from this veil of tears, you just have no Juiche left. Like a crab without any meat. |

| #10 Sounds more like a subtle slap at Kim Il Jung. There's a significant number of NK military and political leaders who remember the good old days of Kim Il Sung. They think his offspring is, essentially, a heretic to Juche. But they won't attack him directly. Problem is, Juche requires cult-like devotion to the leader and there's really no one who can be considered a replacement without violating Juche. Fun stuff. |

| #8 Hey...'flunkeyism' alone was worth the effort. Mike |

| #7 Ah, I haven't had a good dose of juche in a while. Do they have an auto-generator for this stuff - like the business-speak generators you can find on the web? Just plug in a general topic (e.g. unification, US bellicosity, etc) and a length and push START. |

| #5 Flunkeyism? Is it army-based? |

| #4 We're going to need some of that reunification ourselves on November 3. Chant , all together now: Ju-che! Ju-che! U.S. Juche on November Three! |

| #2 I take pride in the fact that RantBurg is in the forefront of establishing the Juche Character. |

| #1 I really wonder if these fools are trying to cut off their Chinese masters. Pride goeth before a flunky fall. |
