#1 I really wonder if these fools are trying to cut off their Chinese masters. Pride goeth before a flunky fall.

#2 I take pride in the fact that RantBurg is in the forefront of establishing the Juche Character.

#4 We're going to need some of that reunification ourselves on November 3. Chant , all together now: Ju-che! Ju-che! U.S. Juche on November Three!

#5 Flunkeyism? Is it army-based?

#6 What about White Slag? We need White Slag, too.

#7 Ah, I haven't had a good dose of juche in a while.

Do they have an auto-generator for this stuff - like the business-speak generators you can find on the web? Just plug in a general topic (e.g. unification, US bellicosity, etc) and a length and push START.

#8 Hey...'flunkeyism' alone was worth the effort.

#9 "It's flunky on the outside with a juche center!"

#10 Sounds more like a subtle slap at Kim Il Jung. There's a significant number of NK military and political leaders who remember the good old days of Kim Il Sung. They think his offspring is, essentially, a heretic to Juche. But they won't attack him directly.

Problem is, Juche requires cult-like devotion to the leader and there's really no one who can be considered a replacement without violating Juche.
Fun stuff.

#11 Right-o Pappy. How can you inspire a personaity based cult based on a puffy-haired pervert like Kimmy? And you cannot hang onto the dead, like Mao, or Lenin. Years after their departure from this veil of tears, you just have no Juiche left. Like a crab without any meat.

#12 This KCNA article is actually addressed to the South Koreans, with "flunkeyism" (i.e., kowtowing to the Americans) being today's "heresy du jour".

It's not completely clear whether this is the standard garbage to fill the Rodong Sinmun's pages or if it's in response to a recent relevation in the Southern press of the existence of contingency plans in the South to be exercised if North's current regime were to fall.

#14 Juche Uber Alles!

#16 It's possible that it could be addressed to SK. If it is, saying that the only way for reunification to occur is to adopt North Korea's political philosophy is a definite non-starter.

#17 *holds up card* 6.5

A pathetic performance, marred by lack of any obsequitiousness to Fearless Leader or mention of Army First policy. The grass diet is most likely a contributing factor...
