The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.
This kind of patter is in the 1950s house style of the Chinese Communist Party. Compare Kim Jong Il's screed with this chestnut, purportedly authored by Mao Tse Tung:
"Riding roughshod everywhere, U.S. imperialism has made itself the enemy of the people of the world and has increasingly isolated itself. Those who refuse to be enslaved will never be cowed by the atom bombs and hydrogen bombs in the hands of the U.S. imperialists. The raging tide of the people of the world against the U.S. aggressors is irresistible. Their struggle against U.S. imperialism and its lackeys will assuredly win still greater victories."
"Statement Supporting the Panamanian People's Just Patriotic Struggle Against U.S. Imperialism" (January 12, 1964), People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys, 2nd ed., pp. 9-10.
This vintage Communist style has certain interesting features from a stylistic point of view. It is cartoonish to the point of parody. America is always 'reactionary, backward, decaying'. The Communists are always 'vigorous, revolutionary and progressive'. It contains elements of apocalyptic speech that would not be out of place in a revival tent. This kind of writing was very common in the 1960s, as American revolutionary wannabes tried to desperately ape the great Mao Tse Tung. American Communists like William Hinton were almost pitch-perfect imitators of this bizzare accent.
But to hear it again in 2002 is almost like hearkening to a voice from out of the tomb. It is like receiving a missive from the Land That Time Forgot. American liberals have altered their style to make it more contemporary, but the North Koreans are so hermetic that their thought patterns are stuck in an era when people watched Gomer Pyble, the original Star Trek and drove VW Kombis.
The scary thing is that these crazy gomers also have nuclear weapons.
