Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a by-lined article.

It goes on:

The President was so great that he built genuine socialism which realizes the ideal and wishes of the popular masses. His greatness found expression in that he indicated the most scientific way of accomplishing the cause of socialism, provided an eternal foundation for the accomplishment of the cause and turned the socialist politics into that of love and trust in his lifetime.

The Juche-based socialist theories like the line calling for independence in politics, self-support in economy and self-reliance in national defence and the general line of socialist construction clearly reflect the President's rare wisdom and exceptional ability of inquiry and great revolutionary practice.

Korean-style socialism is demonstrating its might as invincible one as it has single-minded unity, matchless military power and solid self-supporting economy, legacies of the President, as an eternal foundation for it.

Thanks to the President's politics of love and trust and benevolent politics, the society of the DPRK has turned into a harmonious big family based on revolutionary comradeship and sense of obligation.

The ideas and exploits of the President who built socialism centered on the popular masses are shining more brilliantly under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Korean-style socialism will always remain shining as long as it is under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, creditable successor to the Juche cause of socialism started by the President.
