LOL! Linkse krant de Guardian: 'Kim Jong-Un heeft niets te maken met marxisme!'

Juche derives from Cheondogyo, a 19th-century Korean religious sect that took on political objectives. Cheondogyo still exists across Korea, but in the north it has favoured status. Kim Jong-un’s grandfather, Kim Il-sung – the original leader of North Korea – used Marxism-Leninism as a means of getting Chinese and Russian support, later preferring to woo nationalistic religious movements.

The lack of understanding of the real nature of Juche, a nationalistic religious cult, mistaking it for Marxism, continues to be the precursor for disastrous US responses. Developing nuclear weapons is primarily a statement of national independence.

Kim Jong-un wants what his father and his grandfather wanted: for the south to recognise the dynasty as the prophesied royal lineage, fulfilling the heavenly mission of Tangun. Then Korea will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity, a beacon for the rest of mankind. Juche is the means to that ends.
