[MC5 comments: Once again Kim Il Sung minimizes the danger of capitalist restoration while he correctly attacks Soviet social-imperialism for being "dominationist" in 1978, an enemy of the whole world--in the same speech. Kim never correctly explained how the dominationist came about--through the restoration of capitalism by a bourgeoisie in the party. Once again Kim Il Sung only talks about pre-Revolution exploiters and foreign ideas as the source of possible capitalist restoration.]

"It is an irrevocable requirement of the revolution to keep strengthening the ideological revolution. Unless this revolution is steadily intensified in socialist society, obsolete ideas may be revived in the minds of the people and capitalist thoughts spread by the imperialists may infiltrate from outside. Moreoever, with the livelihood of the people improving and as they feel no worries about food, clothing and housing, if the ideological revolution is halted, their revolutionary enthusiasm may cool."
