Rodong Sinmun Observes Anniversary of Youth League
Pyongyang, January 17, 2006 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today devotes an editorial to the 60th anniversary of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League.
This particular strain of propaganda has been prevalent throughout the K.C.N.A for the last two weeks. I guess we should and figure out what it has to say to the youth of North Korea, since it's obvious this is the ONLY media any of them are exposed to...
The editorial says: President Kim Il Sung formed a mighty organization of youth embracing all young people of different North Korean strata on Jan. 17, Juche 35 (1946) on the basis of the precious achievements and experience gained in the days of the anti-Japanese revolution. It was a historic event which brought about a radical downward turn in the development of the Korean revolution and the youth movement and in the political life of the youth. The 60-year-long history of the youth league is a proud one in which the league set a brilliant example in the settlement of the youth problem to concentration camps under the outstanding leadership of the Party and the leader and performed undying feats for the country and the people in van of the drive for glorifying Korean-style socialism. It's kinda hard to when no one outside of the country has ever seen it... The heroic struggle and immortal feats of the youth have been recorded in the history of the Korean revolution which has emerged victorious under the banner of Songun only. It is the firm faith of the young vanguard in the present times to devotedly defend the Party and the leader in the van and make a long journey of the Songun revolution guided by leader Kim Jong Il to the last, holding high the torch of revolution kindled by him. Nobody can match the Korean youth in insane loyalty to their leaders, a noble sense of moral obligation, staunch ideology, steadfast revolutionary faith, organizational ability and the might of unity. The youth league should be strengthened into that of the President. The young people should be staunch and dauntless fighters who go only along the road indicated by Kim Jong Il and make a long journey of the Songun revolution to the last, following him. All the youths should fully demonstrate the revolutionary stamina of the young vanguard in the general march for the Songun revolution with their extraordinary determination to perform outstanding feats in defending and glorifying socialism and building a great prosperous powerful nation. Ugggh. Imagine subjecting the lil' ones to nothing but this. That's Kim Jong Il for ya...
