(North) Korean News: "Dynamic General Offensive for Building Socialist Economic Power Called for"

Distilled propaganda of rare purity:
Rodong Sinmun Monday editorially calls on all officials, party members and other working people to turn out as one in the drive for the prosperity of the country in hearty response to the militant appeal of the Workers' Party of Korea so that the general march of the Songun revolution may be accelerated throughout it. The editorial goes on:

If efforts are concentrated on the economic construction to make a fresh advance now that all conditions have been created for leaping higher and faster, our country will shed its rays all over the world as a great prosperous powerful socialist nation with tremendous state economic potential.

It was the intention of President Kim Il Sung and a grandiose plan during his lifetime to build an economic power. We should make this auspicious year a year that will witness the successful materialization of the plan of the President for building a rich and powerful country and a prosperous year for the country.

It is the revolutionary spirit of the Korean people to stage a strong offensive campaign to achieve greater victory.

The slogan of struggle and advance "Usher in a Great Heyday of Songun Korea Full of Confidence in Victory!" calls on the Korean people to perform fresh feats.

We should make a great leap in the building of a socialist economic power this year through a strong offensive campaign from the outset of the year in hearty response to the militant appeal of the party.

All party members and other working people should have firm confidence that their cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation is bound to be crowned with victory under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, a peerless patriot and genius of creation and construction.

They should firmly grasp the intention of the WPK which regarded it as a main task of the on-going general march to step up technological updating to put our economy on a modern footing and display its potentials to the full, while directing primary efforts to rapidly improving the standard of the people's living, and realize it.
Quick--what's the antecedent of that pronoun?
The cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation requires all the servicepersons and people to advance it by displaying patriotism, the editorial notes, calling all of them to wage a dynamic drive for building a socialist economic power in single-minded unity under the great banner of Songun.
