The socialist system of Korea is a man-centered social system. All the lines and policies pursued by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are shaped on the principle that the popular masses are the masters of everything and everything serves them. The government takes care of the people, fully responsible for their living.
It supplies the people with all conditions for food, clothing and housing. They enjoy free and universal medical treatment and free education.
Rest homes, sanatorium and camps have been built in scenic spots for free recreation and medical care of working people and schoolchildren. Such popular policies of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government were invariable even in the 1990s when the country was in hard time due to the imperialists' persistent efforts to isolate and stifle it, and repeated natural disasters.
The educational work steadily developed under the care of the government and medical services were not uninterrupted in hospitals and clinics in all parts of the country. The economic situation was very serious in those days. However, the price directly related to the people's living such as the house rent and the price of basic foodstuff and consumer goods remained unchanged. In the hard time, the people keenly felt that their socialist system was the best one in the world and they could not live without receiving benefits from the government. The facts clearly prove that the socialist system based on popular masses is a social system that is fully responsible for their destiny not only under favorable circumstances but in hard time. They, deeply aware of the advantages and valuableness of their socialist system through their experience, are ready to defend it at the cost of their lives, regarding it as their life and soul.
