"Ilsokdajo"
This shows the work of putting factories and enterprises on a Juche-oriented and modern basis plays an important role in remodelling the people's ideology.
Through this work factories and enterprises can improve the production and living environment.
Out-of-date machines and equipment need consumption of a great deal of physical labor during its use, often negatively affecting people's health and the production environment.
When machinery and equipment and production processes are put on a Juche-oriented and modern basis, it will free the working people from difficult and hard labour and lead to a fundamental improvement in working conditions and to a reduction in the difference in labour.
The modern production environment is a prerequisite for the environment of civilized life. As labor becomes easier and its scientific and technological level increases, the living environment can become more hygienic and civilized.
After all, the work of putting factories and enterprises on a Juche-oriented and modern basis is an undertaking to make it possible to achieve "Ilsokdajo" like remodelling the people's ideology and improving the living and production environment.
