Our
socialism is based on the Juche-orientated
view of and attitude towards the masses of the
people.
The
truth and advantages of socialism are
demonstrated in the people’s support of and
trust in it. Now that our socialism is based
on the Juche-orientated view of and attitude
towards the masses of the people, it has
become the most advantageous and powerful
socialism and enjoys the people’s absolute
support and trust.
The
masses of the people are the motive force of
history. The masses of the people means a
united social community which centres on
working people, due to their common demand for
independence and creative activity.
The
phrase “the masses of the people” assumes a
class character in class society. An
exploiter society is divided into the
exploiter class and the exploited class, or
the ruling class and the ruled class,
depending on who owns the means of production
and who controls state power. The exploited
class, the ruled class, forms the majority of
the masses of the people. The class structure
of the masses of the people is not immutable.
It changes as social history develops. In
capitalist society, not only workers and
peasants, but also working intellectuals and
many other classes and strata which champion
and struggle for independence, form the masses
of the people. In socialist society, all
people are transformed into socialist working
people, so everyone is a member of the masses
of the people. Of course, in socialist
society, too, the manoeuvres of minor hostile
elements continue and traitors may appear in
the revolutionary ranks. Therefore, it is
also necessary in socialist society to clearly
distinguish between the masses of the people
and elements hostile to them.
The
phrase “the masses of the people” reflects a
social and class relationship, but it is not
merely a class concept. Naturally, the masses
of the people consist of different classes and
strata. In order to distinguish whether one
is a member of the masses of the people or
not, his social and class status should be
considered, but this must not be regarded as
absolute. Man’s ideas and behaviour are not
subject solely to the influence of his social
and class status. If he undergoes
revolutionary influence and acquires
progressive ideas, he can serve the masses of
the people regardless of his social and class
status. The basic criterion for deciding
whether one is a member of the masses of the
people or not is not one’s social and class
origin, but one’s ideas. The ideological
foundation on which to unite people from all
walks of life into the masses of the people is
not just the idea of socialism and communism.
Anyone who loves the country, the people and
the nation can serve the people and
accordingly, is qualified to be a member of
the masses of the people.
From
such a point of view, at every stage of the
revolution, the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung united everyone who was
ideologically ready to serve the fatherland,
the people and the nation into one
revolutionary force, and he successfully
carried out the revolution and construction.
Our Party trusts people of different classes
and strata who are interested in the
revolution. It considers them everlasting
companions, not chance fellow travellers, on
the road to revolution, and it is leading them
along the road to socialism and communism.
The
class nature of the imperialists and
reactionaries makes them antagonistic to the
masses of the people. Accordingly, they are
afraid of the word “people” itself. Frequently
using the word “nation”, they try to cover the
class confrontation and conflict of capitalist
society. The traitors to socialism also try
to disguise their anti-popular manoeuvres with
the word ”citizen”. They purport to be
building a “society for citizens”. It is true
that one can often hear reactionaries and
traitors hypocritically using the word
“people”. But those hostile to the people, the
betrayers of the people, cannot hide their
anti-popular nature, just because they use the
word “people”. “People” is a noble word that
only those who are faithful to the people, can
say proudly, the communists who fight and
devote themselves wholly to the interests of
the masses of the people.
The
great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
regarded the people as “Heaven”, since his
youth. He ensured that the country, the army,
monuments and many noble and beautiful things
in the country were named after the people.
Because our socialism regards the people as
such valuable beings, it has become a
socialism centred on the masses, the most
advantageous socialism which fully embodies
the demand of the people for independence.
The
masses of the people are the masters of
everything in society. This is because
everything in society is created by the masses
of the people.
The
popular masses possess the greatest creative
power for transforming nature and society. An
individual’s strength and wisdom are limited,
but those of the popular masses are
unlimited. If there is an omniscient and
omnipotent being in this world, it is none
other than the popular masses. By drawing on
their unfathomable strength and wisdom, the
masses create everything in society, they
advance history and drive the revolution
forward.
The
popular masses transform nature, develop the
productive forces and create material wealth.
Of course, the capitalist class takes an
interest in developing the productive forces
in order to gain more profit, but capitalists
do not create material wealth with their own
hands .The masses create ideological and
cultural wealth directly, and also produce
progressive thinkers, prominent scientists and
talented men of art and literature. The
exploiter class also put forward their own
ideological and cultural mouthpieces, but the
ideas and culture they produce obstruct a
moral social life and development. The masses
transform society. The reactionary exploiter
class is only interested in maintaining and
consolidating the outmoded exploitative
system, not in social transformation. The
farce of “reform” staged by the ruling
bourgeoisie is essentially aimed at
extricating themselves from the crisis of
capitalism. Social transformation on
progressive lines can only be carried out by
the awakened and united popular masses. Since
everything in society is created by the
masses, they must naturally be the masters of
everything. Only in socialist society, where
state power and the means of production belong
to the people, can the masses be the real
masters of everything in society.
Since
they are the masters of everything in society,
the popular masses must occupy the position of
masters. They must exercise their rights,
fulfil their responsibility and role as
masters and enjoy a worthy and happy life as
masters.
As they
are the masters of everything in society, the
popular masses must hold the position of
masters and exercise their rights as such.
The
popular masses’ desire for independence is to
occupy the position of masters and exercise
their rights as such. Independence is the
lifeblood of the masses, and their independent
status and right to independence are the basic
conditions on which their destiny depends. As
they are the masters of state and society, the
popular masses must occupy the position of
masters and exercise their rights as such in
politics, the economy, culture and in all
other fields of social life.
In
order to thoroughly champion and implement the
popular masses’ independence, it is necessary
to formulate all lines and policies by making
them reflect the masses’ desire for
independence and carrying them out in reliance
on the efforts of the masses.
The
popular masses’ desire for independence is the
criterion for judging the correctness of lines
and policies. The only way to avoid
subjectivism and tortuous events in the
revolution and construction is to mix with the
masses and listen to what they want. The
masses are teachers of everything. The
masses’ desire for independence, when
integrated into a system, will become ideas,
lines and policies. When formulating its
lines and policies, the working-class party
must always go among the masses and listen to
their desires. In doing their work, officials
must also begin by listening to the masses’
desires. Even in complex and difficult
circumstances, our Party has been able to
establish the best socialist system and
develop it continuously, because it has laid
down its lines and policies by going among the
masses. It is also because it reflected the
masses’ desire for independence in its
policies and carried these out by relying on
their efforts. This is the secret of the
triumphant advance of socialism in our
country, an advance which has been made along
an absolutely scientific path, without the
slightest deviation or setback.
In
order to champion and realize independence for
the popular masses, we must totally safeguard
the independence of the country and nation.
Our
Party’s consistent revolutionary principle is
to achieve independence in politics,
self-sufficiency in the economy and
self-reliance in national defence. Our Party
and our people have treasured the independence
of the country and nation. They have
thoroughly implemented the revolutionary
principle of political independence, economic
self-sufficiency and self-reliant national
defence despite the pressure of the
imperialists and dominationists. They have
thus firmly safeguarded national sovereignty
and dignity and continue to advance. They
consistently adhere to their convictions and
hold the socialist banner high.
The
imperialists now violently interfere in other
countries’ affairs and trample upon other
nations’ sovereignty. They try to justify
these acts under the excuse of “defence of
human rights”. Human rights can not be
conceived separately from the independence of
countries and nations. Human rights can never
be ensured for people who are dominated by
foreign forces. Human rights are rights to
independence which must be exercised by the
people in the political, economic,
ideological, cultural and all other spheres of
social life. The “human rights” advertised by
the imperialists are privileges of the rich,
privileges to do anything on the strength of
money. The imperialists do not recognize the
right of unemployed people to work, or the
right of orphans or people without support to
eat and survive, for instance, as human
rights. As they do not grant working people
elementary rights to existence and as they
pursue anti-popular policies and policies of
racial and national discrimination and
colonialism, the imperialists have no right to
speak about human rights. The imperialists are
the most heinous enemy of human rights. They
violate the people’s right to independence and
interfere in the internal affairs of other
countries on the pretext of “defending human
rights”. We will never tolerate any
imperialist interference or arbitrariness
aimed at infringing upon the sovereignty of
our country and nation, which we will
staunchly safeguard.
The
popular masses, as the masters of everything
in society, should fulfil their role and
responsibilities.
Only
then can they defend their position and rights
as befitting masters. The revolution and
construction are undertakings for the popular
masses and are their own undertakings. They
must be responsible for and must solve all
problems arising in the revolution and
construction through their own efforts.
In
order to make the popular masses fulfil their
responsibility and role as masters of
everything in society, their consciousness as
masters should be enhanced. To this end,
priority should be given to ideological
transformation and political work, over all
other undertakings. This is an intrinsic
requirement of socialist society. In
socialist society, where the popular masses
are the masters of state and society, the main
driving force of social development is the
high revolutionary enthusiasm and creative
initiative of the masses, who are equipped
with independent ideological consciousness and
who are united rock-firm behind the Party and
the leader. It is only when all members of
society are transformed in a communist way and
their revolutionary zeal and creative
initiative are boosted by giving priority to
ideological transformation and political work,
that they can press on with the revolution and
construction and fully demonstrate the
advantages of socialism. In socialist
construction, therefore, efforts must always
be concentrated on educating the masses of the
people and on boosting their revolutionary
enthusiasm and creative activeness, by giving
priority to ideological transformation and
political work. There is no other
master-stroke for propelling socialist
construction than that of giving priority to
ideological transformation and political work,
in order to enhance the role of the masses.
Trying to move a man by means of money
contradicts the intrinsic nature of socialist
society; the advantages of socialism cannot be
demonstrated by that method. Such a
capitalist method cannot enhance the people’s
revolutionary enthusiasm or creative
initiative and, worse still, it may degenerate
the socialist system itself and throw it into
jeopardy. By giving definite priority to
ideological transformation and political work,
our Party could dynamically advance the
revolution and construction and display the
advantages of socialism to the full, relying
on the masses’ great revolutionary enthusiasm
and creative initiative. The high
revolutionary zeal and creative initiative of
the popular masses, who are united firmly
behind the Party and the leader, is the source
of the strength on which our socialism centred
on the masses can demonstrate its advantages
and invincibility as the most scientific
socialism.
In
order to make the masses of the people fulfil
their responsibility and role as the masters
of everything in society, their creative
strength should be cultivated. This is an
important matter to which primary attention
should always be given in the revolution and
construction. As the popular masses create
everything in society, the success of the
revolution and construction depends on how to
train the people into powerful beings.
Training them into powerful beings means
developing their creative ability along with
their independent consciousness. In
capitalist society, the popular masses’ demand
to boundlessly develop as independent and
creative beings cannot be realized properly.
The imperialists and capitalists need slaves
who produce surplus value and follow them
obediently, not independent and creative
people who have been brought to their
independent consciousness and who are
developed in many ways. That is why they
resort to every possible means and method to
degrade working people into slaves of capital,
degenerating them ideologically and deforming
their creative ability. The popular masses’
demand to develop into independent and
creative beings can be fully realized only in
socialist society. Our Party has established
the most superior socialist education system
and a system under which the entire population
studies. It is running these at the expense
of the state and society, and is thus
brilliantly carrying out the task of bringing
up all members of society as full-fledged
builders of socialism and communism. As a
result, our people are pressing on with
socialist construction and they are solving
every problem through their own efforts and
wisdom under the banner of self-reliance even
in an extremely difficult situation.
The
masses of the people must enjoy a worthwhile
and happy life as the masters of everything in
society.
Material
life occupies an important place in their
worthwhile and happy life. It forms the basis
of social life. As they are the masters of
state and society in socialist society, the
masses of the people should lead an affluent
and civilized life. By stepping up economic
construction, our Party has consolidated and
developed the socialist economic system and
built a powerful socialist and independent
national economy. It has thereby laid solid
foundations for satisfying the people’s
material life through our own efforts. The
potential of the independent national economy
we have built up through self-reliance and
fortitude is quite enormous; it is a valuable
asset for providing a moral and stable
material life for everyone. We must
continuously invest great effort into the
construction of the socialist economy, in
order to further strengthen the country’s
economic power and steadily improve our
people’s standard of material life according
to socialist demands.
What is
essential for the masses in their worthwhile,
happy life is to lead a dignified life, while
adding lustre to their socio-political
integrity and enjoying the love and trust of
the social community.
Naturally,
the people need to live such a life, but this
is impossible in the exploiter society. The
exploitation and oppression of man by man is
incompatible with love for and trust in the
people; there cannot be genuine love and trust
between the exploiter and the exploited. In
capitalist society, the personal value of man
has been converted into an exchange value and
is appraised by means of money and wealth.
Here, love for and trust in the masses is
inconceivable. The bourgeois reactionaries’
advocacy of love which transcends class is a
crafty act to disguise the reactionary nature
of the capitalist exploiting society and to
pacify contradictions between classes. The
preceding theory of the working class laid
bare the reactionary nature of the
hypocritical love which transcends class,
advocated by the bourgeois reactionaries. It
made clear that, in class society, love also
assumes a class character. The fact that love
assumes a class character does not mean that
love and trust can be exchanged only between
people of identical social and class status.
The relationship of love and trust between
people can be established between those who,
despite the difference in their social and
class status, fight together to defend the
independence of the popular masses and who
carry out creative activities together.
When
the socialist system is established, class
contradictions are eliminated and
relationships between people are transformed
from those of contradictions and mistrust into
those of love and trust. In socialist
society, love and trust flourish in the social
community and between its members and among
the individuals in society; they are
demonstrated in the most sublime form between
the leader and his men. When all members of
society proudly maintain their socio-political
integrity with the result that the leader and
his men, and the Party and the people are all
tied by love and trust and the whole of
society has been transformed into
socio-political organism, their life is the
most worthwhile and beautiful life. The
society that has realized this is a most solid
and dynamic society.
Socialism
centred on the masses fully embodies comradely
unity and cooperation and the relationship of
love and trust in all spheres of social life.
It transforms politics into politics of love
and trust. Love and trust constitute the
essence of politics in socialist society,
where the masses of the people have been
transformed from objects of politics to the
masters of politics. We call the politics of
love and trust, benevolent politics. Although
the imperialists embellish bourgeois politics
and sling mud at socialist politics,
clamouring about things like the “multi-party
system” and “parliamentary democracy”, black
cannot be made white. Bourgeois politics, as
a plutocracy, are the harsh and crafty
politics of oppression and plunder.
In
order to realize genuinely benevolent politics
in socialist society, a political leader who
unfailingly loves the people must come
forward.
A
political leader of socialism should be a
master in leadership but, first of all, he
must be a man of virtue who loves the people
boundlessly. This is simply because socialist
politics is, in essence, benevolent politics.
An incompetent political leader of socialism
may bring about a delay in the development of
socialist society, but one who has no virtue
may betray the people and even lead socialism
to ruin.
If the
politics of love and trust are to be exercised
in socialist society, the socialist party in
power must be built into a motherly party.
The
working-class party is the leading political
organization of society; accordingly, the way
the state organs and all other organizations
in socialist society serve the people relates
to how the party is built. Building the party
as a motherly party is a prerequisite for
making state organs and all other
organizations in socialist society into
servants of the people. Building the party as
a motherly party means that the party should
become a genuine guide and defender of the
people, which takes meticulous care of the
destiny of the popular masses under its
charge, just as a mother deeply loves her
children and looks after them warmly. In the
past, the party was regarded mainly as a
weapon in the class struggle. The
working-class party should naturally wage
class struggle; however, all Party activities
must, to all intents and purposes, proceed
from a boundless love for and trust in the
people. It must give priority to defending
the people’s interests and it must fight
against those who violate their interests.
Not a few parties lost the support and trust
of the popular masses and came to an end in
the long run. This is because they were not
built as motherly parties which take warm care
of the destiny of the people under their
charge. They degenerated into bureaucratic
parties which wielded power and abused their
authority.
If the
socialist ruling party is to be built as a
motherly party, all cadres and party members
should be educated in the spirit of boundless
love and sincere service for the people.
In
order to sincerely serve the people, one must
first think of the people before oneself and
regard the pleasure and pain of the people as
one’s own. Loyal service to the people is a
communist’s sacred duty. Herein lies the true
value of communist’s life. A man who works
for the revolution enters the working-class
party not for his self-interest, fame or
authority, but to serve the people more
faithfully. Those who undergo hardship before
anybody else, and put it before pleasure, and
who take charge of difficult tasks on their
own, while giving credit for success to others
– they are the true communists and members of
the working-class party. In order to bring up
those party members, ideological education
should be intensified among them so that they
serve the people devotedly.
It is
important while building the socialist ruling
party as a motherly party to thoroughly
transform the cadres in a revolutionary
fashion and to actively struggle against the
abuse of power, bureaucracy, irregularities
and corruption among them, which are the main
factors that obstruct the implementation of
benevolent politics in socialist society.
Socialism is opposed to all privileges. With
the establishment of the socialist system, the
privileged class disappears. As long as the
people possess state power and the means of
production, the privileged class cannot come
into being in socialist society. But if a
struggle is not waged against the abuse of
power, bureaucracy, irregularities and
corruption in socialist society, some
ill-prepared cadres can deteriorate
ideologically and become divorced from the
masses, and thus grow into a privileged
class. However good the policies pursued by
the party and state may be, they cannot be
carried out properly if the cadres resort to
abuse of power and to bureaucracy, because all
policies of the party and state are
implemented through the cadres. If the cadres
exercise privileged power, act
bureaucratically and indulge in irregularities
and corruption, the socialist party in power
will lose the support and confidence of masses
and, without their support, the party cannot
maintain its existence. The historical lesson
shows that it is tantamount to digging its own
grave for the socialist ruling party to
tolerate the abuse of power bureaucracy,
irregularities or corruption among the
cadres.
Our
Party saw through the danger of the deviations
that could manifest themselves in a ruling
party early on, and it has tirelessly
struggled against them. Under the Party’s
slogan, “We serve the people!”, our cadres are
now faithfully serving the people as their
servants. But we cannot in the least neglect
struggle against the abuse of power,
bureaucracy, irregularities and corruption,
because they are rooted in the vestiges of
outdated ideas, and because the imperialists
continue their schemes of ideological and
cultural infiltration in order to implant
anachronistic ideas in our country. We should
continue to vigorously wage educational work
and an ideological struggle among cadres to
root out these deviations.
Our
Party’s politics are characterized by love and
trust and are benevolent politics. They
constitute the basic factor that defines our
socialism’s advantages and invincibility.
Thanks to the benevolent politics of the Party
and the leader, our people enjoy a most
worthwhile and dignified life. Their noble
socio-political integrity is enhanced under
our own style of socialist system, which is
centred on the popular masses. It is a true
feature of our society that all its members
form a large harmonious family. They trust,
love and help each other, and enjoy a
worthwhile and happy life together.
In our
country, everyone regards and supports the
leader as they would their own father. They
trust and follow the Party, regarding its
embrace as that of their own mother. The
leader, the Party and the people form one
socio-political organism, and share the same
destiny. The whole of society overflows with
communist morality. For instance, one
devotes one’s own life without hesitation to
save one’s revolutionary comrade from danger,
and young men and women become life companions
of honourably disabled soldiers and take warm
care of orphans and old people without
support, as they would their own relations.
This is a proud result of the benevolent
politics of our Party.
The
vitality of the benevolent politics of our
Party finds expression not only in our
people’s noble spiritual and moral traits, but
also in their upright and equitable material
and cultural life, which improves as the days
go by. All our people are free from worries
about food, clothing and housing. They
continue to learn throughout their whole life
and enjoy long lives in good health, thanks to
free and compulsory education and free medical
care. In our country, the state provides
stable jobs for all able-bodied working
people. It looks after the whole population
under its responsibility and even takes warm
care of those who have temporarily lost the
ability to work, those without this ability
and old people without support. Aged
revolutionaries and war veterans, honourably
disabled soldiers and meritorious people enjoy
their worthwhile life under the state’s care,
held in the people’s high esteem and love.
The
younger generation is basking in the great
benefits of the Party’s benevolent politics.
They are successors to the revolution, and the
future of our country and nation. The future
of the revolution and the destiny of the
country and nation depend on how they are
brought up. Therefore, their upbringing cannot
be the sole responsibility of their parents.
In capitalist society, where the future of the
younger generation depends on their parents’
purse, they cannot avoid falling victim to
social inequality and social evils. Due to
the aggression and intervention of the
imperialists and the plunder of the exploiter
class, many of the young generation throughout
the world lose their lives or are maimed by
war, social conflict, disease and hunger or
they wander about the streets, committing
crimes and degenerating. By contrast, in our
socialist society with its benevolent
politics, the state brings up all the younger
generation. Our Party and state accord them
the warmest love and solicitude. In our
country, they study to their hearts’ content
under the best ll-year universal compulsory
education system, and are supplied with school
uniforms and school things by the state.
Thanks to the warmest love and care of the
Party and the leader, the state and society,
our younger generation is growing up happily
without envying anyone.
All the
popular policies enforced in our country today
prove the superiority of our own style of
socialist system, which is centred on popular
masses. These policies emanate from the noble
love of the Party and the leader for the
people. Benevolent politics is the
traditional method. Its historical root had
already been created by the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung in the days of the
anti-Japanese revolution and was further
deepened and developed by him as the
revolution and construction advanced.
The
respected leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
was the benevolent father of our people, who
cherished the warmest love for them. Under
the motto, “The people are my god”, which he
adopted when he was young, Comrade Kim Il
Sung mixed with people, shared weal and
woe with them and devoted his all for them,
throughout his life. Because it held the
respected Comrade Kim Il Sung, who was
endowed with the noble virtue of boundless
love for the people, as its leader, our
country could record a brilliant history of
genuine politics for the people, benevolent
politics. Our Party continues to carry forward
the brilliant traditions of benevolent
politics established by the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung. Our Party’s
benevolent politics are politics of extensive
love and trust; the Party loves and trusts
people from all areas of society, without
discrimination. In this sense, we call our
Party’s benevolent politics all-embracing
politics. They are politics of invariable love
and trust. Our Party is responsible for
everyone’s socio-political integrity and
guides this. Even when a man has committed an
error, our Party does not put him in the cold
but re-educates him, to lead him onto the
right track. It shows constant care for him,
so that he will exalt his socio-political
integrity to the last.
The
noble love and trust shown by our leader and
Party for the people have produced unfailing
loyalty to the Party and the leader from the
people. Our people have been well-known since
olden times as a diligent and courageous
people with a strong sense of justice, a noble
sense of obligation and a high sense of
decorum. Our people’s fine traits now
flourish and develop in every respect, based
on new spiritual and moral qualities. Our
people are deeply grateful to the Party and
the leader for their benevolent politics and
work heart and soul to repay the favour with
loyalty. Our people’s loyalty to the great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung is shown on
a nobler plane today, after they suddenly lost
their fatherly leader. It is our people’s
unshakable will to loyally uphold the
respected Comrade Kim Il Sung forever
as the leader of our Party and revolution.
Under the leadership of the Party, our people
are working with redoubled efforts to win
fresh victories, true to the behests of their
fatherly leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
No other people are equipped with such noble
spiritual and moral qualities as ours. They
are unfailingly loyal to the Party and the
leader, and work devotedly for their country,
society and the collective. We take great
pride in having such excellent people. For
our Party to have trained ours into such an
excellent people is its great achievement and
a brilliant victory for its benevolent
politics.
Our
Party’s benevolent politics are the source of
the single-hearted unity of the leader, the
Party and the people. The single-hearted
unity of the leader, Party and people, based
on love and loyalty, is the most solid unity,
and our own style of socialism, rooted in this
single-hearted unity, is ever-victorious.
People
throughout the world express their great
admiration for our socialism, saying that it
is the most ideal socialism. This is because
our socialism is genuine socialism centred on
the popular masses, which fully applies the
principles of love for and trust in the
people.
The
reason why our own style of socialism, centred
on the popular masses, is an invincible
socialism which enjoys their full support and
trust is that here, the popular masses
maintain their position and exercise their
rights as the masters of the state and
society. They discharge their
responsibilities, play their role as the
masters and lead a worthwhile and happy life
in such a capacity.
Our
Party will invariably and fully pursue genuine
politics for the people, benevolent politics
which regards the popular masses, the masters
of everything in society, as supreme beings
and bestows everlasting love and trust on
them. Our Party and people are faced with the
heavy yet honourable task of carrying forward
and consummating through generations, the
socialist cause of Juche which was initiated
and led by the great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung. As it has always won victories in
the past by believing in and relying on the
people, so too in the future, our Party will
accomplish the socialist cause of Juche by
believing in and relying on them.
Man-centred
socialism, socialism centred on the popular
masse, is absolutely scientific, and the most
advantageous and powerful socialism. For its
scientific accuracy and truth, socialism is
sure to be victorious.
