My Little Juche Coupe, or More Totalitarian Songun Engrish

This little number from the North Korean News is called "Historic Meeting in Realizing Songun Ideology." Nothing like a mighty treasure-sword of ever advancing Songun revolutionary fervor to get you in the right mood for Shabbos:

Pyongyang, December 15 (KCNA) -- The validity of Songun idea, the mighty treasure-sword for accomplishing the socialist cause has been proved in the revolutionary practice. President Kim Il Sung, founder of the Songun idea and outstanding leader of the Songun revolution, carried his Songun ideology into practice at the Mingyuegou Meeting held in December 16, Juche 20 (1931).

Juche is named after the month in which it was thought of? A little later in the article:

The theory that the people are precisely the state, rear and regular army was ascribable to the Songun idea of the President that the entire people should frustrate the counterrevolutionary violence with arms in their hands so as to retake the sovereignty of the nation and defend it forever in reliance upon arms. Since then the Korean revolution has covered the only way of victory under the banner of Songun.

The concluding sentence:

Bright future is in store for the Korean people who are advancing forward under the banner of Songun.

A good paraphase for that last sentence might be "We now have the starvation problem relatively under control."
