Advance of Socialism Is Accompanied by Anti-imperialist Struggle: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, February 18 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday says in an article that the road to socialism is an untrodden path of hewing out everything in a fresh way and a stern road of revolution advancing in the acute confrontation and struggle with imperialism.

The victorious advance of the socialist cause would be unthinkable without the resolute anti-imperialist struggle, the article says, and goes on:

No illusion about the imperialists should be harbored and no an inch of concession made in the anti-imperialist struggle. Concession precisely means death.

It is a serious lesson of history that socialism will be frustrated if the anti-imperialist struggle is abandoned, allured by the imperialists' "appeasement" policy and deceptive moves.

To steadily intensify the struggle against the imperialists is a very important issue related to the destiny of socialism and the popular masses.

Victory can be achieved only when we put ideological work above all the other work in the fierce anti-imperialist struggle of deciding who prevails over whom, giving top priority to ideology.

The confrontation with the imperialists is the one of ideology and strength. If we are not to become a slave of the imperialists brandishing a stick of strength, we should have strong military muscle and defence capability.

It is an important and vital requirement for achieving the steady development and prosperity of socialism to create conditions and environment capable of withstanding any threat of aggression and, to this end, it is necessary to possess the absolute strength to overwhelmingly defeat the enemy.

Our revolutionary practice eloquently proves that if the anti-imperialist, independent consciousness is steadfast and the strength of justice capable of containing the tyrannical strength of the imperialists is strong, we can advance socialism victoriously and bring about miracles and changes despite the vicious obstructive moves of the imperialists.
