Nigerian Organization on Scientific Socialism

Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- The Nigerian National Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism posted an article on its website on Oct. 23 to mark the 20th publication anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's work "Socialism Is a Science".

The article noted that this important work was published to show the way to a new upsurge and certain victory for the socialist movement which had been in distress across the world.

Giving the detailed gist of the work, the article said:

The validity and vitality of the work "Socialism Is a Science" have been fully displayed for two decades since its publication.

With this work, many people could have hope for socialism and the socialist movement gained a fresh momentum across the world.

The reality proves that socialism is a science and truth and it is the law of historical development that mankind aspires socialism whereas the theory of "ended socialism" touted by the imperialists and their mouthpieces is deceptive.

Socialism is a science and it is sure to emerge victorious.

Kim Jong Il's Work, Banner for World Revolutionaries: Peruvians

Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- The Peruvian National Independent Movement for Free Voting's Union and the General Kim Jong Il Peruvian Amicable Institute issued a joint statement on Oct. 29 to mark the 20th publication anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's work "Socialism Is a Science".

The statement said:

The great Comrade Kim Jong Il published a historic work "Socialism Is a Science" on Nov. 1, 1994.

In the work he elucidated the essence of genuine socialism and its advantages and inevitability of its victory and disclosed the reactionary nature and injustice of the imperialists and socialist renegades' moves to defame and stifle socialism.

His work has served as a banner for the popular masses the world over, the world revolutionaries in the struggle for socialism and independence against imperialism.

We pay deep homage to Kim Jong Il on the 20th publication anniversary of his work.

Socialism and Rent Control on the Ballot in Seattle

Seattles Super Bowl triumph earlier this year came only a month after another kind of triumph for the Emerald City: the election of Socialist Kshama Sawant to the City Council. It represented the third pendant in the Citys progressive charm bracelet, which includes marriage equality and legalized marijuana. While there was a wide range of prognosticating on what her victory meant (a vote for something different or an affirmation of communitarian economics), there has been no doubt that Sawant is a different kind of politician, shifting the discussion quickly to her demand to increase the minimum wage to $15; and it wasnt just talk, she succeeded. Yesterdays election was the first test to see whether people would vote for a Socialist who is not Kshama Sawant. Jess Spear took on incumbent Democratic State Representative Frank Chopp, who isnt just any state representative, hes the Speaker of the State House of Representatives. Not only did Spear take on the Speaker who represents the most liberal of liberal districts in Seattle, she made her campaign a kind of referendum on rent control. Unfortunately for Spear the Sawant charmor ideological momentumdidnt rub off. Spear lost the election by a significant percentage, 83 percent to 16 percent. But in spite of the drubbing did she accomplish anything? In fact, she did push the speaker to change his tune on rent control and to return campaign contributions from some developers and landlords. He has now says he supports allowing cities to impose rent control, something preempted by Washington State law. With a right leaning State Senate, its unlikely that a repeal of the preemption is coming soon, but Chopp might just sponsor the bill, legislation nobody has discussed in years. Spear and Seattle Socialists can also draw some solace from the defeat: Sawant ran against the Speaker in 2012 before her historic win taking her to the City Council. Perhaps running against Chopp is the testing ground for Seattles swiftly leftward tilting ideology. And Chopp is an excellent politician, knowing that having Socialists in his own backyard means his own efforts to ameliorate broader ideological squabbles between rural and urban Democrats, and with Republicans and the business community could, one day, cost him his own seat. That means supporting rent and price controls. When it comes to housing, its likely that a rent control measure might fair well in Seattle. The general consensus among frustrated neighbors opposing development, former Occupy Seattle activists, and Socialists seems to be that increasing housing supply actually makes housing more expensive, and taxing it will make it cheaper. Can electing a Socialist to the state legislature or the even the Congress be far behind?
