Rodong Sinmun Exposes Harmful Impact of Western-style 'Democracy'

Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Those countries aspiring after independence should clearly see through the imperialists' ambitious spread of "democracy" and resolutely reject it, urges Rodong Sinmun Monday in a by-lined article.

The U.S.-style "democracy" based on extreme individualism and liberalism took its shape through ceaseless wars of aggression and plunder. This reactionary and unpopular politics reflect the greed of monopoly financial combines and absolutely protect their interests, not the will and desire of the working people, the article says, and goes on:

Social inequality and disparity worsened and contradiction and conflict festered between popular masses and capitalist class in the U.S. and other Western countries under this "democracy".

The harmful impact of Western-style "democracy" on the international community causes political instability and serious abuse of the political and economic rights of the working people.

Political unrest and military coup fueled by partisan infighting in more than 10 African countries over the past several years show the harmful effect of the "multi-party system".

Political and economic difficulties deepened and factional and national disputes were heated up in those countries which accepted Western-style "democracy" as "prescribed" by the imperialists.

The imperialists' moves to spread "democracy" reveal their crafty and vicious brigandish nature to sacrifice others to meet their interests and realize their hegemonic ambition. -0-
