Committees Carrying Forward as a Valuable Tradition of the
선군정치 Revolution

Through the combined direction of the Eternal President Kim Il Sung, praised for his 선군정치 revolutionary leadership exploits and his son, the Dear and Intelligent Leader Kim Jong Il,¹ the embodiment of the 주체사상 idea, the DRPK is demonstrating its dignity all over the world as an invincible socialist country powerful in political and military realms, and is a beacon of hope for the world people in their struggle for justice, peace, independence and prosperity.

They will also smash the pernicious imperialist beasts’ schemes to stifle their independence and sovereignty under the just and powerful banner of 선군정치.

Obviously a workers paradise so dynamic and invincible, riding amid the flame of a new revolutionary upsurge, would be expected to have a lot of important committees. And they do – wonderful committees that are certainly much better than any you or I may be on.²

This list, dedicated to Becky,³ and which barely scratches the surface, is transcribed directly from the English version of the Korean Central News Agency, which, along the completely unrelated Duluth Shipping News, are easily the two most important news outlets on the internet.
