>and frustate its socialism whether by military pressure,sanctions or underhand methods.
>As the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il in the work says
>The secret
>of its durability and indestructibility is that it is centred upon the popular
>masses, that it has made the masses the genuine masters of society and that it
>has devoted everything to the service of the masses. Because our socialism
>serves the popular masse, our people regard socialism as the cradle of their
>lives and of their happiness, and they entrust their destiny entirely to
>socialism. Our people, who are enjoying unlimited happiness and a genuine life
>in a socialist society under the wise leadership of the Party and the leader,
>are working with devotion to safeguard the socialist system and accomplish the
>socialist cause
>
>The speaker went on to say that the work clearly explains the strength of Korean
>style socialism which is centred on the people.The work also excellently exposes the
>reactionary anti popular nature of bourgeois democracy and the deceptive nature of the
>so called welfare policies of capitalist countries.It also exposed the falsity of so called
>"ideological freedom" in capitalist societies and mentions that Juche idea followers in
>south Korea are suppressed.

>Shaun Pickford said that the work "Our Socialism Centred on the Popular
>Masses Shall Not Perish" was an excellent anti perestroika manifesto
