Songun's just another word for nothing left to lose . . .

From (North) Korean News:
The 3rd meeting of pacesetters of the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement closed today. The meeting proudly reviewed the validity of the unique line of three revolutions -- ideological, technical and cultural -- which President Kim Il Sung put forth in line with the immortal Juche idea, the idea of uninterrupted revolution and the great vitality of the movement which is being led by the Workers' Party of Korea and powerfully demonstrated the high revolutionary enthusiasm and firm will of the whole party and all the people to bring about a great surge in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation by spurring on the general march of the Songun revolution through the mighty all-people movement.
And also demonstrated by extremely long sentences?
Speeches were made at the meeting on Feb. 24. An appeal to all party members and other working people was adopted at the meeting. The appeal said:

We are now facing the tasks to put spurs once again on the general march of the Songun revolution and give full play to the advantages of Korean-style socialism in all political, military, economic and cultural fields.

"Let us bring about a big surge on all fronts of building a great prosperous powerful nation by accelerating the three revolutions under the banner of Songun!" This is a militant slogan that the movement should hold high.
They seem to feel that slogans can accomplish a lot.
The present ideological revolution requires preparing all the people to be indomitable fighters who devotedly defend the leader and revolutionaries who absolutely follow, defend and carry through the Songun idea and line of the Party. To defend the leader devotedly is our foremost life and soul and best patriotic loyalty. "Let us hold the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung forever in high esteem as the sun of Juche and accomplish his revolutionary cause creditably!" "Let us defend the revolutionary headquarters headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il at the risk of our lives!"

The appeal called for preferentially providing everything needed to strengthen the People's Army and develop the national defence industry, devoting all sincerity to assisting the army and carrying through the party policy of putting all the people under arms and turning the whole country into a fortress to strengthen the military might of Korean-style socialism in every way.

It underscored the need to step up the modernization and information-orientation of the national economy so that the economy may be boosted as a whole in the near future and the people may substantially benefit from the economic foundations and to concentrate all efforts on farming to settle the food problem sufficiently for people.
Busted flat in Pyongang, waitin' for some gruel . . .
It laid stress on pushing ahead with reconstruction and modernization based on up-to-date science and technology in a bold, big and innovative way and developing the culture of Korea into the socialist culture of Songun, revolutionary, militant and civilized, modeling after soldier culture.
The last sentence is incredible:
It stressed that all the people should become standard-bearers of the three revolutions, the standard-bearers twice standard-bearers, the twice standard-bearers triple standard-bearers and the triple standard-bearers heroes of the Songun era.
