Apparently, "Juche" is North Korean for "reportorial fellatio"

This article on North Korea from 1986 is hilarious for a number of reasons: one, for showing the tendancy of western reporters to suck up to ruthless dictators for access (and ironically for this article, the reporter wasn't even allowed into the country, forced to cite what one must assume is state-sanctioned "recent visitors"), and two, for showing the myth that "we" were "all" united in the defeat of communism and the belief that the Soviet Union would collapse under its own weight to be just that---a complete effing myth.
