North Korean leader calls for elimination of anti-socialism practices

SANAA, March 29 (YPA) – North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday called on his officials to work for rooting  out “evil spirits” of anti-socialism, according to official media.

In a letter sent to officials serving in the information field of the ruling Workers’ Party (WPK) who were present at a workshop in Pyongyang the previous day, Kim stressed the need to “concentrate the ideological campaign on anti-socialist and non-socialist practice in a minute way,” according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

Kim emphasized the party officials should become “powerful loudspeakers and hi-fi amplifiers” in spreading the Party Central Committee’s ideas “down to the lowest unit correctly in time.”

He noted  that “the Party information work is a keystone in sweeping away evil spirits of anti-socialism and non-socialism finding their way into the heads of the people.”

Kim emphasized the party officials should become “powerful loudspeakers and hi-fi amplifiers” in spreading the Party Central Committee’s ideas “down to the lowest unit correctly in time.”

“The ideology-first principle is just the fundamental key to emerging victorious from difficult situations and a way of revolution peculiar to the WPK,” he was quoted as adding.

He urged officials at the Information and Publicity Department of the ruling party’s Central Committee to become a “control tower” of the party’s ideological front.
