Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA)

Respected ComradeKim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, learned about the production at major munitions industrial enterprises from September 16 to 18.

ComradeKim Jong Unlearned in detail about the production of each enterprise.

In hearty response to the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the WPK, the major munitions industrial enterprises turned out in attaining the new year's production goals. They are steadily increasing the revolutionary enthusiasm and making upsurge in production, recording high results every day.

ComradeKim Jong Unwarmly encouraged the working class who are reliably stepping up the radical growth of our munitions industry and its more independent and advanced development through their energetic and devoted labour struggle, always full of revolutionary zeal.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the major munitions industrial enterprises are fulfilling their plans for the production of combat equipment on the most important indices of urgent military significance in a responsible manner without fail and, as a result, the huge plans issued by the Party Central Military Commission are being successfully carried out one by one.

He appreciated the major munitions industrial enterprises for carrying on without an inch of deflection the projects for expanding the production capacity assigned by the Party to meet the requirements of the all-round plan for reorganizing and modernizing the artillery combat force of our army.

Stressing that the fulfillment of this year's production plans is most essential in attaining the new Five-Year Plan aimed at fresh progress and leap forward in the building of a powerful army and the defence industry, he said that the major munitions industrial enterprises should continue to consolidate the current trend in production and dynamically and simultaneously conduct a series of technical infrastructure reinforcement for promoting the long-term munitions production plans.

He said that the building of a powerful artillery force is the core for deterring and fighting war, adding that our artillery should have the most concentrated and destructive, massive and versatile offensive capability and responsibly perform the two missions of deterring and fighting war. He stressed that the achievements made by the DPRK in all fields to modernize all components of the national defence capability including artillery are meaning a significant change in the composition and means of our armed forces and their plan for countering a war. Stating that the enemy's military systems would be gradually damaged and useless by action of the irresistible might which we have already possessed or will soon possess, he said that the munitions industrial enterprises at all levels under the Second Economy Commission should play a bigger role in carrying out the strategic policy of the Party on building the most powerful army and the country's munitions industry should be further expanded and strengthened.

He said that the production success at the major munitions industrial enterprises is not merely significant for increased production but it is of weighty significance as it is undoubtedly a product of the will and efforts of the working class to defend our sovereign security, and this is a great contribution for the state.

Stressing that major munitions industrial enterprises have a very pivotal role to play in steadily augmenting the country's war deterrent and war-fighting capability, he encouraged them to vigorously continue their patriotic production drive for steadily equipping our army with the most powerful and overwhelming strategic strength.

He clarified important policy-oriented tasks for the enterprises' production and management, including the issue of steadily accelerating the expansion of production capacity and the modernization of technical processes, raising the level of artificial intelligence of offensive and defensive combat weapon systems and putting the armor and automation of artillery weapons on a higher stage and the issue of bettering the conditions and environment for production.

ComradeKim Jong Unexpressed expectation and belief that all the officials, technicians and workers serving at important core factories would continue to fully display their inherent creation spirit and fighting spirit and thus powerfully propel the radical strengthening of our armed forces.

Cant tell you how much I get fed up with seeing these kinds of narratives in Manga and Anime.

Where the structural, societal rot is flattened down into a single, cartoonish evil villain who just needs to be punched harder to magically fix all the flaws of the world. Its a very individualistic way of telling a story, where it blames a personal moral failing of one individual rather than looking at the flaws of the system and the structures that enabled the problem in the first place. It practically implies that the system is fundamentally good and was simply corrupted by a few bad people preserving the legitimacy of the system by treating the wrongdoing as an aberration produced by particular said individuals. Its like how liberals would blame bad apples rather than admit the flaws and features of the system of Capitalism.

A good example of this would be My Hero Academia.

It literally flattens the systemic failures of Hero Society such as the abandonment of the marginalized and the commercialisation of safety by heavily framing the conflict around defeating Shigaraki and All For One.

Sure, the Manga attempts to address this by positioning Shigaraki as a hero for the victims of the system who he was also a victim of, only to reveal he was just a puppet for a bigger bad that you just needed to punch harder to solve all your problems. It cheapens the critique, turning a systemic failure into a cartoonish conspiracy instead. Even when confronted with the state sanctioned, deep state violence exposed by Kaina Tsutsumi, Deku does absolutely nothing to resolve the actual institutional corruption, leaving the broken system and the status quo perfectly intact.

Then you have The Great Man theory of a single exceptional individual or a tiny elite team that usually devises the winning plan and saves the world single-handedly whereas the masses of faceless and nameless populous are simply passive background props incapable of meaningfully changing anything and return to a slow crawl once the "great man" moves on to the next adventure.

Its highly unrealistic and quite frankly, done to death to the point its become stale. Throughout history, change has always been pushed by the collective labour and vast networks of people to see the common people advance, rather than the singular triumphs of a few exceptional elites.

Lmfao, even image is AI slop and yet somehow still manages to get the school uniforms completely wrong. It looks closer to Samsung Republic than the DPRK.

Besides the goofy and cartoonishly evil story, as you would guess, the sources are anonymous as always which is another way of saying "we made it up" because it's virtually impossible for any independent reader to verify their bullshit.

Its nothing more than clickbait orientalism which is a modern, digitised form of anti Asian structural racism.
