Party members should not only work well but also study hard. Only when they gain knowledge can they look ahead and fight on confidently.

For 15 years the anti-Japanese guerrillas steadily fought Japanese imperialism and attained victory in the face of great hardships. They had to push their way through deep snows and cross countless steep mountains; they had to fight grim battles every day with the army and police of the Japanese imperialists, who were armed to the teeth. Our soldiers had no warm shelter and lacked clothes and food. But they always lived optimistically and fought bravely.

What, then, enabled them to have such conviction and courage?

The reason is that in spite of the severe handicaps facing them, they studied hard and grasped the righteousness of their revolutionary cause and looked confidently ahead to the day of victory. The greater the hardships, the more they studied, and this invigorated and encouraged them. Our Party members must study harder if they are to fight on with a firm conviction of victory, just as the anti-Japanese guerrillas had done previously.

Only when Party members study hard can they correctly analyse and solve any problems that arise and lead the masses. They are the vanguard fighters of the working masses. If they are to play the vanguard fighters’ role properly, they must study more than anybody else and raise their political, ideological and professional levels. When they attain considerable knowledge, they can then educate and guide others.

Having Party members intensify their studies is essential also to the qualitative consolidation of Party ranks.

There is a common myth that photography is completely prohibited in DPRK, but this is not accurate.

Take a look at the footage our editor-in-chief, Donald Courter, was able to record and listen to his experience in Pyongyang.

“Armenian carpet”, painting by Mariam Aslamazyan, 1948

The elements of democratic and socialist culture, are present, if only in rudimentary form, in every national culture since in every nation there are toiling and exploited masses, whose condition of life inevitably gives rise to the ideology of democracy and socialism.
But every nation also possesses a bourgeois culture (and most nations a reactionary and clerical culture as well) in the form not merely of “elements”, but of the dominant culture ... In advancing this slogan of ’the international culture of democracy and of the world working class movement’ we take from each national culture only its democratic and socialist elements, we take them only and absolutely in opposition to the bourgeois culture and the bourgeois nationalism of each nation.’

Lenin, Critical Remarks on the National Question, Collected Works, Vol.20, 1913

The more I look into the Soviet "dissidents" of the 1920s and 1930s the more the naked class hatred pours out of them in their writings. Their US handlers massaged this a bit more in the post 1945 period but it still comes down to the same thing. The old ruling class and those who adopt bourgeois ideology feel "insulted" because they lived in a country that valued the farmer, steel worker, train driver or cleaner as much as the "intellectual".
