Of course it doesn't say that but 'Intellectuals, defend socialism with science and technology', one of the posters reproduced in the book North Korean Posters.
Given today's news that North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, killing four and wounding over 20 people, the 'defence' is obviously by building missiles and other armaments, and many of the posters are agressively violent. There are several others, however, which have an entertainment value, portraying the country as a land of smiling happy people who enjoy abundance - the reality is quite the opposite. Will the country's dictators provoke a resumption of the Korean War which ceased 57 years ago? We hope not, but with lunatics who knows?
