Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- A reading session and a seminar on works of leader Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un took place in Mexico and Britain on Nov. 15 and 20.

Jesus Antonio Carlos Hernandez, general secretary of the Central Committee of the People's Socialist Party of Mexico, read Kim Jong Il's work "Socialism Is a Science." Then he said:

Socialism in the DPRK is true socialism centered on the popular masses.

The DPRK is dynamically advancing along the road of socialism hewed by President Kim Il Sung while smashing the imperialists' moves to stifle it under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Un.

I wish the Korean people big success in their struggle for building an economic power and reunifying the country in the future, too.

Andy Brooks, general secretary of the Central Committee of the New Communist Party of Britain, and others praised Kim Jong Il's revolutionary career and exploits at the seminar on Kim Jong Un's work "Let Us Brilliantly Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche, Holding Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as the Eternal General Secretary of Our Party".

They confirmed that Kim Jong Il's exploits would last forever and the Workers' Party of Korea will always triumph as the guiding force of the Korean people thanks to Kim Jong Un.

A message to Kim Jong Un was adopted at the seminar held in Britain.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Although ObamaCare is a controversial achievement by President Obama and the Democrats, Republican opposition has been repeating the same complaints: it's bad for the economy and bad for Americans, it's an unwelcome expansion of government, it's not working, andit's socialism.

Socialism at its core is a political term applied to an economic system in which individual property, like money,is held and usedin common, within a state or a country as an attempt to equalize the standard of living for the average citizen.

In acompletelysocialistsociety, there would be no money. Basic needs such as food, shelter, education and healthcare would be available andprovided to everyone, so division of classes based on wealth would not exist.

But if America is really turning into a more socialist country,then where can we see evidence of this happening? Are any states becoming socialist before our eyes? And if so, how do we define the most socialist state, you ask?

After all the number crunching, we have come up with the 10 least socialist states in America followed by the 10 most socialist...

#10 Least Socialist State - Illinois Total State Expenditures (FY 2013): $66.4 Billion Gross Domestic Product (2013): $671.4 Billion

Expenditures as Proportion of GDP: 9.90% The state of Illinois is the 10th least socialist state in America with an economydriven by agriculture and manufacturing. Republicans prevail in both Chicago's suburban "collar counties" and the rural northern and central Illinois, as well as in southern Illinois. In the most recent elections earlier this month, multimillionaire Bruce Rauner (R) proclaimed victory and "a new direction" as Illinois' next governor defeatedDemocratic incumbent Pat Quinn (D).

CUA, Venezuela With an Iranian tractor, and two big subwoofers blasting salsa music across his onion patch, Ivan Lora says he is turning his weedy hillside into a building block of Venezuelan socialism.

Comrades, Lora said, taking leaders of his newly formed commune on a tour of his two-acre farm, with this land and an irrigation system, we could be growing food year-round.

Surely, the Eternal Commander the late Hugo Chvez would have been proud.

Lora, 65, a lifelong city dweller with no farming experience, settled here with his family four years ago on land expropriated by the Chavez government. Today he is a member of one of the 900 officially registered communes that have become the focus of a far-reaching government effort to remake Venezuela into a socialist society.

It aims to use communes as the central organizing feature of Venezuelan life, complete with new forms of government, public services, and socialist-minded farms and businesses that spurn the profit motive.

Loras commune, an hour outside Caracas, is named El Sueo del Commandante the Commanders Dream. It is a far cry from the flower-powered, yurt-dwelling, free-love version that flourished farther north in the 1960s and 1970s.

Although Lora got some land and the little red tractor from the government, he and his family live in a scrap-metal shack along an isolated stretch of highway. For rides, he relies on the communes leaders, who insist on being called spokespeople because they say they disavow hierarchies.

Loras main contribution to socialism has been a willingness to sell onions, peppers and cucumbers at a 60percent discount to his fellow communards at the weekend farmers market. He calls them his socialist prices, in contrast to the capitalist prices he puts on the rest of his produce during the week.

Supporters of the commune effort say it will transform Venezuelas economic, social and political relations into something more wholesome and authentically democratic. At its best, it inspires poor and once marginalized Venezuelans to work closely with their neighbors and take control of the planning, execution and fiscal oversight of community projects that improve their lives.

Hundreds of thousands of comrades are carrying out this vital step toward socialism, said Jos Luis Hernan, a former presidential palace aide elected chief spokesman of the Commanders Dream last year.
