How about an explanation of what Juche ideology is? Thank you for the article.
It is all about complete independence from the world... we don't need anything from anybody in our socialist monarchy paradise. It is the reason this worst-government-on-the-earth has survived as long as it has.
To be quite brief, Juche ideology is the N. Korea's state ideology. It emphasize self-reliance and hyper-nationalism, which are used to argue that N. Korea should be a closed self-sufficient paradise. At the center of ideology is the personality cult revolving around Kim dynasty. The leader elevated to a divine figure whose existence is essential for the survival of N. Korean nation. It incorporates a form of extreme personality cult.
