# "주체혁명위업을 대를 이어 계승완성하자!": street mural, Pyongyang (photographed 2010)

A framed street mural in Pyongyang shows a large suited leader with raised arm (identified on Commons as Kim Il Sung) above a crowd of a miner, soldier, engineer, farmer and others, with red flags and the Workers' Party emblem on a yellow field. The slogan reads 'Let us carry on and complete the Juche revolutionary cause from generation to generation!' The tell is the abstract vocabulary ('Juche revolutionary cause', '3 revolutions') offered in place of any specific claim or request, with the leader drawn larger than the workers.
