If you've ever read or heard anything coming out of North Korea (and its mouth-piece KCNA), the following makes really rather startling reading:

If Koreans [are]... obsessed with the conception of confrontation, the north and the south will neither get reconciled nor united. If the situation is allowed to go on, the tension will escalate and invite even a national disaster in the end. Without eradicating the conception of confrontation is it impossible to improve the inter-Korean relations nor is it possible to achieve peace and the reunification of the country.

Firstly, it sounds remarkably rational, but secondly (speaking of socialist contradictions) it flies in the face of pretty much all North Korean rhetoric before this time. They're usually much more into this kind of thing:
the visitors expressed their resolution to wipe out to the last one the pernicious murderers, wolves in human shape, if they pounce upon the Korean people again.
There's even a random North Korean insult generator that is based entirely on real North Korean pronouncements, leading to such priceless gems as:
You arrogant bloodsucker, we will transform your country into a sea of fire!
So talk of moving away from confrontation is really something quite remarkable. In fact, I've noticed that KCNA has gotten a lot less heated in recent weeks, perhaps even months. There's been a change in North Korea, but what exactly that change is, it's hard to tell. They don't call it the Hermit Kingdom for nothing.
