The slogan \u201cLet\u2019s defend our revolution with rice\u201d that I saw at the Sino-Korean border seems to have the same meaning as the slogan, \u201cLet\u2019s support the Workers\u2019 Party with rice.\u201d Signs calling for self-reliance and for \u201ccherishing the people\u201d have been in place for many years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even just a few years ago, many propaganda slogans along the Sino-Korean border said \u201cHurrah for Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.\u201d Now, at the same places, they say \u201cHurrah for the Great Comrade Kim Jong Un\u2019s revolutionary ideas.\u201d The signs look recently installed because their paint looks new. In short, the slogan \u201cKim Jong Un\u2019s revolutionary ideas\u201d has replaced the call for more adherence to \u201cKimilsungism-Kimjongilism.\u201d The new slogans seem to be related to the recent emphasis of Kim\u2019s status as the country\u2019s supreme leader and the \u201cgood fortune\u201d the people have from him being their leader.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49951\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49951 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/\ucca0\uc870\ub9dd.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">North Korean soldiers working on building fences on the Sino-North Korean border. \/ Image: Kang Dong Wan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I view this change as North Korea\u2019s intent to strengthen Kim\u2019s status as a leader, rather than a move to erase traces of his forebears.
