(North) Korean News: "Rodong Sinmun on Danger of Imperialists' Ideological and Cultural Poisoning"

I'm starting a support-group for people who have become addicted to reading North Korean propaganda. I plan to call it Juche Anonymous:

It is necessary to clearly understand the danger of the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning, strictly shatter it and intensify the ideological education, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. Bourgeois ideology and culture are used as a means for the imperialists' moves for disorganizing the socialist countries and anti-imperialist independent countries and disintegrating them ideologically and mentally and as a scout for military aggression, the article notes, and goes on:

Bourgeois ideology and culture are based on extreme egoism and a harmful poison undermining the sound consciousness of people.

What the imperialists seek through ideological and cultural poisoning against the socialist countries and anti-imperialist independent countries is to paralyze independent consciousness and revolutionary consciousness of people and make them suffer from ideological maladies and give up the anti-imperialist struggle. If the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning is allowed, it will weaken the faith of people in the cause of independence against imperialism and disarm them ideologically.

Their ideological and cultural poisoning may produce such serious results as deteriorating and disintegrating socialism, destroying the faith of the people in socialism and, furthermore, overthrowing the socialist system.

In recent years "coloring revolution" such as "rose revolution" and "orange revolution" took place in an unbroken chain in different countries, bringing about regime changes there. And Iraq could not offer a stubborn resistance against the military aggression of the U.S. imperialists before surrendering. These facts go to clearly prove how serious the consequences of the imperialists' ideological and cultural poisoning are.

If sovereignty of each country and nation is to be defended and their independent development to be ensured, it is necessary to wage an uncompromising struggle against imperialism with the steadfast anti-imperialist spirit.
