Classes Can Never Go Together in Capitalist Society: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The rulers of capitalist countries have embellished capitalism as if it was a society in which cooperation was established between classes and the working class and the capitalist class co-existed peacefully thanks to the idea of "equality for all", says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an article. However, the socio-class contradictions escalating in capitalism can neither be covered up nor settled, the article says, and goes on: The main reason why the escalating class contradictions in capitalist society cannot be eliminated is that the popular masses are the objects of politics, not masters of power and politics and are completely excluded from political activities. All the institutional structures of capitalist society are extremely reactionary so that a handful of privileged circle can maintain their domination and justify oppression and exploitation of the overwhelming majority of the working masses. The class contradictions can never be settled in capitalist society, the main factor of which is in the ever-worsening phenomenon of the rich getting ever richer and the poor getting ever poorer. In capitalist society, a handful of privileged circle possess all production means and enormous wealth, and the overwhelming majority of the working masses lead a wretched life. As material wealth increases, inequality in material life gets worse and even those who live at a certain level lead a precarious life afraid of falling into poverty at moment. This is capitalism. Capitalist society is a reactionary one, in which extreme individualism prevails and the law of the jungle governs, and a decayed one rushing towards its ruin with all sorts of evil practices. It is a foolish behavior like the ostrich burying his head in the sand and thinking he is not seen to resolve the socio-class contradiction under such society. |
