Rodong Sinmun Calls for Intensifying Anti-Imperialist, Anti-U.S. Class Education&

 Pyongyang, July 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday editorially calls for dynamically conducting class education under the uplifted banner of anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. struggle in order to further consolidate the socialist revolutionary position, the class position.
    It says:
    The Korean revolutionary ranks at present are made up mainly of those who have neither experienced exploitation and oppression nor undergone stern trials of war.
    If the class education of those generations is neglected even for a moment, as they know what a war is like only by reading novels or watching films, their anti-imperialist and class consciousness will gradually wane and the history of the struggles for winning a victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War remain a past thing.
    Succession to revolution means succession to ideology and spirit.
    Only when the generation, who bravely fought the severe war, and the present younger generation struggle in the same spirit as displayed in the battle on the River Rakdong, can the Korean revolutionary ranks grow to be invincible ranks unshaken in any storm and stress and can society of the DPRK prove to be an impregnable fortress which no hostile class can dare infiltrate into.
    The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet regime are now going reckless in the moves to pressurize and stifle the DPRK politically, militarily and economically, hurt its dignified system and destabilize its society by mobilizing all sorts of conspiratorial organizations.
    One should not lay down a weapon of the revolution and the working class even for a moment in the on-going general advance and the targets of the class struggle remain unchanged as the revolution advances.
    No matter how much water may flow under the bridge and no matter how frequently old generations are alternated, the Korean revolution should not allow any attempt to slacken or weaken the class education, concludes the editorial. -0-

Call for Intensified Class Education

Every year June 25 is marked as the day of struggle against the U.S. imperialism. This year mass rallies were held in Pyongyang and provincial capitals all around the country and the Unhasu Orchestra gave a concert to greet the occasion. These functions helped enhance the class-consciousness of our people and made firmer their will to take vengeance on the U.S. aggressors for the barbarous atrocities they committed against them.

Today, our revolutionary ranks are built up with the new generation that has not experienced exploitation and oppression, and not gone through rigors of war trials.

Therefore, the main point in the class struggle today must be to make the Party members and working people fully aware of the aggressive and predatory nature of the U.S. imperialism and hold on to their class and revolutionary principles.

So long as the U.S. troops stay on in this land, peace and security will not settle down in this Peninsula.

Another important thing in the class education is to make the people assured that our cause is just and we are sure to win.

What is of particular importance in class education in the present time is class education against imperialism, the U.S. imperialism in particular.

Class-consciousness is not something hereditary.

From childhood, our younger generation must be educated in the hated for the exploiter classes and love for their parents and brothers and sisters, their schools and villages.

It is our Party's invariable will to bring our younger generation into staunch revolutionaries and vanguard fighters of the working class.

Then, we will be stronger and more confident in our struggle against the U.S. and other imperialists, and in our endeavors to build a thriving socialist country, demonstrating the great politico-military might of Songun Korea.
