The article notes that Chairman Kim Jong Il is a peerlessly great man who defended the destiny of socialism through his tireless ideological and theoretical activities and energetic leadership.

At the end of the last century the world socialist movement went through unexpected ordeals - a tragic situation in which socialist red flags were pulled down in different countries. A great change took place in the world political structure and force balance, the article points out, and goes on:

The imperialists and socialist renegades claimed that the socialist idea itself was wrong and that the 21st century would be the one without socialism.

Political parties, organizations and progressive people of many countries aspiring after independence, justice and socialism vacillated to the left and to the right under the tragic situation.

The article says at the time when the destiny of the socialist cause was at a crossroads, Kim Jong Il dealt a hard blow to the anti-socialist sophistry of the imperialists and renegades of socialism through his energetic ideo-theoretical activities, and saved the socialist movement from the crisis by his undying dedication and outstanding leadership.

He is the peerlessly great man who defended the socialist cause, the human cause of independence, through his outstanding ideo-theoretical activities and energetic leadership and moved the world with his noble virtues and personality, the article stresses.
