Interestingly, this avoids all the usual "Juche this" and "Songun that" in favor of rather generic-sounding communist scorn for "Bourgeois democracy." Guess they were in the mood for "an old Lenin number":
Democracy calls for shaping policies according to the intention of the broad popular masses, implementing them to serve their interests and substantially providing them with genuine freedom, rights and happy life. Such genuine democracy is socialist democracy, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. There can never be genuine democracy in the capitalist society where all the state power is in the hands of a few capitalists and it is based on individualism, the article says, and goes on:
The popular masses cannot seize power and they are excluded from independent political activities and the state power is in the clutches of a handful capitalists. This is one of main reasons why there can never be genuine democracy in the capitalist society.
Another reason why there can never be genuine democracy in the capitalist society is that this society is based on extreme individualism.
And therefore? As I once observed, one of the basic conditions for true democracy is paragraph development.
Democracy claimed by the imperialists is sham democracy and it is no more than a camouflage to deceive the popular masses and cover the reactionary nature of bourgeois dictatorship and the unpopular nature of the capitalist system.
Bourgeois democracy, so-called democracy in the capitalist society, provides freedom and rights to the privileged capitalists only and no rights and equality are given to the broad grassroots masses. This democracy, therefore, can not be called democracy in its true sense of the word.
The false and reactionary nature of bourgeois democracy can be found in the socio-political lives of Americans.
Another horribly stunted paragraph.
There are many youngsters roaming about to get food and homeless and unemployed people in the U.S.
The freedom of speech and the freedom of the press in the U.S. where the reactionary American rulers loudly propagandized about the application of democracy are no more than bourgeois democracy, bogus democracy.
Free election campaigns which the U.S. rulers advertise as model of democracy clearly prove the true nature of bourgeois democracy.
There's another one.
They say equal opportunity and equal freedom and rights are provided to all people but, in fact, it is only a handful of privileged strata who benefit from them. Herein lies another reactionary nature of the bourgeois democracy.
But anyone can grow up to be a stratum!
