"All People Called upon to Make Great Leaping Advance"

Articles from (North) Korean News are usually desperately repetitive propaganda embodying ludicrously false boasting about the supposed achievements in North Korea's utterly dysfunctional realm of suffering and failure. This one is not so different from all the other ones I have stuck up on this blog, but somehow it seems to advance a few notches into the realm of pure gibberish. I am a little awed by it:
Leading newspapers today editorially call upon all the people to make a great leap forward on all fronts of socialist construction by learning from the work style of the workers in Kangson.

Rodong Sinmun says that the workers in Kangson fully displayed the strong mental power of the Korean working class that was trained by General Secretary Kim Jong Il and learned from his matchless pluck and gut. Their work style represents the patriotic will, the fighting spirit and the mode of creation of the people in the DPRK opening the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation and this serves as a main engine for bringing about a great Songun revolutionary surge.

It goes on:

The work style of the workers in Kangson represents the devoted efforts to carry out the instructions of the party and the leader in a do-or-die spirit in hearty response to their call, the spirit of self-reliance which calls for dashing forward to attain the goal of the times one's own way with one's own strength and the spirit of collective renovation in which all the people create a new speed of advance, breathing the same breath for the same purpose.

The strong pluck that nothing is impossible as long as there are the strong foundation of the Juche-based industry reinforced in the crucible of the Songun revolution and the spirit of leaping advance to create things worth to be recorded in history and of worldwide significance while succeeding at one go with ultra modern science and technology in the project which required others to make a hundred attempts--this is the extraordinary attraction and vitality of the work style displayed by the workers in Kangson.

The work style of workers in Kangson means the most vivid manifestation of the transparent spirit of devotedly safeguarding the leader, eruption of the faith in socialism of Korean style, ardent patriotism and extraordinary zeal for creation and the full display of the high ambition and strong revolutionary self-esteem of the Korean people advancing with full vigor toward a higher goal on a steed of leap in the Songun era.
A steed of leap. It really says that.
All officials, party members and other working people should effect a great revolutionary surge on all fronts of socialist construction in the same spirit as displayed by the workers in Kangson true to the party's far-sighted plan and intention and thus fly the flag of victory on the high eminence of the great prosperous and powerful nation.

Minju Joson calls for intensifying the drive to effect a new great revolutionary surge to open the gate to a thriving nation with redoubled efforts and confidence, highly proud of the might of the dignified DPRK shining with Juche and Songun.
