It is interesting that the political personaliy cults also portray the leader as "glorious", "righteous", "ever correct", and the all-knowing Father whose only concern is for the betterment of his children (the nation), mimicking the religious notion of God. In the case of the DPRK, they have an advantage in this arena over other communist nations in that they have the Father-Son concept in Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. Great post!

]]> Comment on Did communism unwittingly become a preserver of traditionalism? by samnangp http://iridiacreative.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/did-communism-unwittingly-become-a-preserver-of-traditionalism/#comment-12 samnangp Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:38:53 +0000 http://iridiacreative.wordpress.com/?p=174#comment-12 Unforunately, the Khmer Rouge had a different line of thinking about "art". After the fall of Phnom Penh in 1975, the arts were destroyed in Democratic Kampuchea, Singers, actors, artists were amongst the first to be killed in the "cleansing of society" during that period. Recordings, movies, and books were destroyed. During a trip to Cuba in the mid-90's, I was suprised at the amount of "non-socialist" music that filled the air contrasting with the posters/billboards proclaiming the glories of socialism. On the issue of DPRK, Kim Jong Il is a great fan of the arts, and particularly the cinema. His 1973 book "On The Art of the Cinema" is available in English (published Pyongyang 1989). In the book he shares his views on life and literature, the purpose of cinema,and how to write, direct and mesh character, plot and music to create a finished film.
