Juche

Juche is a Totalitarian, economically left, culturally center and ethno-ultranationalist ideology inhabiting the top center of the authoritarian left quadrant. He believes in a highly centralized state, self-sufficiency, and a strong devotion to his country's leadership. He believes the best way to achieve socialism is through strength and self-sustainability.

History
The term Juche (Chosŏn'gŭl: 주체사상 Hancha: 主體思想) is a Korean word meaning "self-reliance". The ideology was first mentioned by Kim Il Sung in a 1955 speech. In a speech of his a decade later, Kim Il Sung developed the ideology further, developing its three main principles, those being economic self-sustenance, political independence, and self-reliance in national defense. The ideology was further developed by Kim Il Sung in various other speeches and writings.

Juche has been the ruling ideology of North Korea, formally called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), since its conception. It, being the governing philosophy, has greatly impacted North Korean governance, leading and contributing to their highly isolationist, nationalistic and militaristic tendencies.

Kim Il-sung did not intend for Juche to only influence Korea, and believed the ideology to have the potential for international influence. Starting in 1976, the DPRK has organized multiple seminars on Juche outside of their own country.

Juchesasangpa
Juchesasangpa was a small, pro-DPRK movement in South Korea that supported the Juche ideology.

Songun is a doctrine where the military is viewed as the most important part of the nation and thus is the most powerful organ of the state that gained presence after Kim Il-sung's death in 1994. It is based upon 4 principles made by Kim Il-sung that are to arm the entire population, fortify the state, train every soldier to become a cadre, and to modernize the entire military sector. The government puts the military as the top priority in resource allocation and for consideration in government policy and decision making.

Great Leader Theory
Unlike Maosim and Marxism-leninism, Juche rejects historical materialism and its assertion that the development of productive forces are the driving force of history. It instead believes that the driving force of history are people and their ideas and that there needs to be a great leader to instill the right ideas into the people. It also believes that the great leader should hold supreme authority since they are believed to be responsible for the wellbeing of the entire country.

Personality
He believes that national unity can be achieved only through self-reliance and national independence. He loves his nukes and is not hesitant to flex them. Despite being strongly atheist, he considers himself to be a god and acts as such, to the extent that outsiders believe him to be theocratic.

Stylistic Notes

 * Very fanatical, almost as much as John Travolta.
 * Anti-religious but believes himself to be a god.
 * Will get very upset and violent if ridiculed.
 * Temperamental, and will be set off by even the slightest disrespect.
 * Launches nukes at anybody he disagrees with, although the nukes are cheaply made and don't always work.
 * Oppressive in the streets but dirty in the sheets with hot North Korean soldier girls.

How to Draw
Juche_flag.svg The design for Juche is simply the flag of the Workers' Party of Korea. The WPK is the dominant political party in the DPRK, of which Juche is the governing ideology. Drawing Juche is fairly straightforward:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Fill the ball with red
 * 3) Add the WPK symbol in yellow
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!

 * [[File:Multicult.png]] Multiculturalism - A strange farce to hamstring the essential characters of the Korean nation and seek for “multiracial society” is now being held in south Korea. In this regard Rodong Sinmun today runs a signed commentary, which censures the farce as an unpardonable bid to negate the homogeneity of the nation, make south Korea multiracial and Americanize it. To deny the peculiarity and advantages of the homogeneous nation now that dominationism and colonialism are posing a threat to the destiny of weak nations is a treacherous act of weakening the spirit of the nation, the commentary says, and goes on: The south Korean pro-American traitorous forces advocating the theory of “multiracial society” are riffraffs who have not an iota of national soul, to say nothing of the elementary understanding of the view on the nation and social and historic development.
