Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- It is the common task of humankind to achieve global independence. Only when anti-imperialist independent countries and nations struggle, aware of being responsible for the cause of global independence, can they display strong will power and practical ability and boost solidarity and unity among them.
Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article.
It goes on:
The progressive countries aspiring after independence, socialism and justice are the main force in the struggle to achieve global independence.
All the anti-imperialist independent forces should unite as one in order to prevail over imperialism.
What is important for achieving their unity is for all the progressive forces, including the socialist movement, the non-aligned movement and the world peace movement to unite close under the banner of global independence. The communist and workers′ parties advocating socialism and other revolutionary parties should firmly maintain their anti-imperialist stand and firmly unite on the basis of comradely relations of mutual respect and cooperation.
The Workers′ Party of Korea and the DPRK government have worked hard for global independence, regarding it as their noble task and international obligation to struggle for the cause.
The world socialist movement was saved from its temporary crisis and has since made dynamic progress under the banner of the Pyongyang declaration. The NAM has creditably performed its mission and role, augmenting its position as a strong independent force against imperialism in the present era. These would be unthinkable without positive activities and efforts of the WPK and the DPRK government.
They will as ever carry on the staunch struggle to achieve global independence, concludes the article.
Around the world, people started to think about the ups and downs, especially when it comes to the economic status of the society. They even ask why certain individuals, groups, tried to gain contacts with the Government in order to continue their dark legacies against the people.
The continuous sweatshop labor, less salaries for workers, semifeudal mode of production, of treating certain courses as cheap labor requirements unveils the continuous presence of oppressive actions laid against the people; guised as domestic growth that in fact, neglects the basic needs of the society such as domestic industrialization, modernization of agriculture and a genuinely progressive fiscal and social policy. The presence of oppressive forces really negates the tendency of achieving real social progress as we all notice much.
However, there are certain groups and individuals wanting to negate this fact. Some would tell that anything made by the order is justified, that free trade is a part of the policy, that Capitalism is inevitable part of Democracy. But speaking of Democracy, whose Democracy is the world keeping? The Borigeoisie or the laboring people?
Nowadays we encounter series of strikes around the world.
In the Philippines, students coming from both state and private educational institutions rose in strike against the increase in Tuition Fees and Budget Cuts in State-funded Education. The Farmers kept on fighting for genuine agrarian reform and benefits, same as the workers and the Semi-Proletariat for salaries, job security and adequate employment.
In Britain, as well as in other cities in Europe, students rose up in revolt against budget cuts upon approval in the Parliament in London, like the Philippines, sporadic protests happened in every city that, resulted in brawls against the Policemen, worse-resulting to throwing of Oil Bombs and destroying windows, actions not been taken in teh Philippines during the strikes against anti-people policies and actions.
Korea also got the share of rage as workers strike in a country famous for its modern technology-the rotten social order defending Korea replied them with fascistic actions that, they even accuse the protesters, from labor rights to peaceful amity with its Northern neighbor, a violation of their "National Security Law". How come labor rights and peaceful settlements became terroristic acts?
These actions happened around the world, all made by the rotten social order, and dictated by a greater being like the Imperialists, gave an impression that the crisis is growing rapidly. The increase in Tuition Fees, budget cuts, fascistic activities against the people, anything repressive in general creates a justification that to rebel is to be justified.
During the near-bankrupt experience, people are asking why the government, or rather say the order manning its reins bail out banksters, multi-millionaires for muti-billions, then chase unemployed people for relative pennies, close down old peoples' homes, shut hospital wards, shut local libraries etc. It reminds of Regan who insist on profiteering than welfare while financing desperate terroristic actions that in fact, fringes against the will of the people.
Every National Democrat, Anti-Fascist, Revolutionary must take part in, or organise, demos against the banksters, big businesses, or rather say IMPERIALISTS, BUREAUCRAT CAPITALISTS, and FEUDALISTS and those who first loyalty is profit and not our nation and our people. Intensifying the protests, rage till we grab the state, economic, cultural power from theirs in the name of the struggle.
South Korean-owned garment factory workers demanding the implementation of a new minimum wage clashed with police at an industrial zone in Chittagong, southeastern Bangladesh, on Sunday, leaving up to four people dead and some 150 hurt, the Associated Press reported.
Police fired live bullets and tear gas shells at the protestors after thousands of workers attacked factories and smashed vehicles at the Chittagong Export Processing Zone that houses about 70 foreign companies that mainly manufacture garments, shoes and bicycles, and employ about 150,000 workers.
Sunday‘s clashes came out as a South Korean company YoungOne shut down all 17 of its factories in the country late Saturday after workers attacked the facilities. YoungOne employees have argued that the government’s hike in wages that was supposed to come last month has not been implemented.
YoungOne is the largest garment maker in Bangladesh and a leading outdoor garment and equipment maker in Korea.
