Warns People, 'Beware the Sweet Capitalist Wind!'
"We must
never allow the scent of capitalism to attract us … We are being penetrated by
the imperialists with every kind of rotten bourgeois lifestyle, and the
sensitive nature of our young generation is being taken advantage of on a
massive scale.”

As foreign information flows
into its society through smuggled goods from China and interactions with other
states, the North Korean authorities have once again emphasized that people
should reject capitalist culture and stick with the North Korean system.
A publication of the North
Korean cabinet called the Minju Chosun declared in a commentary on Saturday,
“We must never allow the scent of capitalism to attract us,” and “We are being penetrated
by the imperialists with every kind of rotten bourgeois lifestyle, and the
sensitive nature of our young generation is being taken advantage of on a
massive scale.”
Claiming that as in the
former Socialist Bloc, young people had somehow been disabled psychologically by
the touch of capitalism, Minju Chosun emphasized, “To devastate our
political and ideological position, capitalist elements, including the United
States, continue to blow a viciously sweet scent of capitalism into our country.
To preserve their fate and guarantee a bright future for the nation. it is vitally
important to educate our young so they won't be dazzled by this scent of capitalism.”

The publication further urges,
“Once paralyzed by the sweet capitalist wind, they will fall into corruption, ignore
the revolution and focus on individual pleasure, so we must awaken them to the
enemies’ strategy.”
In a September editorial,
the Rodong Shinmun also emphasized the ideology of the younger
generation. The newspaper asserted that harboring any illusions about
capitalism is the same as drinking poison, and that blocking the "capitalist
wind" is more important than armed conflict.
