"일심단결을 더욱 강화하자!": Workers' Party poster, Pyongyang (photographed 2010)

A large street poster in Pyongyang shows two figures, one in a helmet with a rifle and one holding a green booklet, looking up from a white wave of cloth toward the Workers' Party emblem (hammer, sickle and brush) on a red field. The slogan reads 'Let us further strengthen single-hearted unity based on revolutionary comradeship!' The tell is the abstract vocabulary, 'revolutionary comradeship' and 'single-hearted unity', offered in place of any specific claim or request.
