Kim Jong Un delivered a speech honoring North Korean mothers this week, praising their role in shaping good communists for the regime.
The supreme leader spoke at the Fifth National Conference of Mothers on Monday, honoring recipients of the Communist Mother Honour Prize.
“The credit for the brilliant today of our country goes to our mothers who are ordinary and simple and the strongest before any difficulties and have become the genuine models of always devoting themselves unhesitatingly to the road of patriotism as well as the roots for bringing up a large number of heroes in all parts of the country,” the dictator said, according to a transcription of the remarks printed in Korean Central News Agency.

He continued, telling the audience that “mothers themselves should become communist mothers who have noble and beautiful moral qualities. Unless a mother becomes a communist, it is impossible for her to bring up her sons and daughters as communists and transform the members of her family into revolutionaries.”
North Korea is ruled by the Worker’s Party, which consolidated power in 1949 and established complete control of the nation’s military, government, and media.
