Socialism Is Far Superior to Capitalism: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- Socialism is the most progressive idea reflecting the intrinsic demands of man, and the socialist system is the most advanced one enabling the popular masses to enjoy an independent and creative life to the full, says an article of Rodong Sinmun Monday.

It is the capitalist system, not the socialist system, that suppresses the social development and the independence and creativity of the popular masses, and it is hard to provide the people with an independent and creative worthwhile life in capitalist society where the working masses are regarded as the slaves of capital, the article says, and goes on:

Such practice as the rich getting ever richer and the poor getting ever poorer is a malignant tumor of capitalist society, and capitalism is a reactionary society which degenerates people. Capitalist society, plagued by all sorts of social evils based on the jungle law, is a rotten and ailing society on the deathbed without future.

The sound and lively society enlivened with creative life of people, society which promotes social development and steadily advances toward the future, is socialism.

It is only under the socialist system that people can enjoy a sound material life, rich ideological and cultured life and independent political life.

It was proven in history that socialism has great advantages incomparable over capitalism. Deliberately shunning this and distorting the truth and slandering socialism is no more than a foolish farce of those keen on reversing the flow of history.

It is an immutable law of history development that things new are bound to win and things old are bound to ruin.

However hard the imperialists may slander socialism, they can never stop humankind from advancing toward socialism.
