The Chollima Movement (Hangul: 천리마운동; Hanja: 千里馬運動) was a state-sponsored Stakhanovite movement in North Korea (DPRK) intended to promote rapid economic development. Launched in 1956, the movement emphasized "ideological incentives to work harder" and the personal guidance of Kim Il-Sung rather than rational modes of economic management.

Famous quotes containing the word movement:
“The parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like. Many of the leaders of the feminist movement in the nineteenth-century United States clearly understood the similarity of the motives at work in antifeminism and race discrimination and associated themselves with the anti slavery movement.”
—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
