Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable by KIM JONG IL

ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

The 1st of March saw the 19th anniversary of the brilliant work of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il , the "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable". This work published immediately after the period when socialism had been frustrated in many countries of the world including the USSR. This seem not only disastrous and heartrending but totally inexplicable, the march of history had been reversed. Communists, socialist and progressives throughout the world looked for an answer to it.
Their pleas were answered by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il who published a series of works such as "Our Socialism Centred On the Popular Masses shall not perish " and "The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the general line of our party".
"Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable " was like a thunderbolt striking the imperialists and revisionists down. It explained that socialism did not collapse but was undermined by imperialist ideological and cultural infiltration and the collusion of the Right opportunists with imperialism. The upper strata of the communist movement bribed by imperialism had destroyed socialism.
Leader Kim Jong Il in the work smashes the lies of the imperialists that socialism is totalitarian and barracks like. He also demolishes the big lie that somehow socialism and fascism are the same
"Totalitarianism served as the political idea of fascist dictators. Notorious Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy used totalitarianism as an ideological tool to justify their fascist dictatorship. The fascist dictators stamped out even the most elementary democratic freedom and rights of the masses of the working people and enforced unprecedentedly tyrannical policies, behind the misleading name of “national socialism”, claiming that for the sake of the whole nation and the whole state no working-class movement and no class struggle could be permitted. The reactionary nature of totalitarianism is that the interests of the working people are sacrificed for the sake of the rapacious interests of the reactionary ruling class under the pretence that the individual should be subordinated to the whole. What is meant by the whole in totalitarianism is not the whole of the popular masses but a tiny handful of privileged circles such as monopoly capitalists, major landowners, reactionary bureaucrats and warlords. Calling socialism, under which the popular masses are the masters of everything, “totalitarianism” is, ultimately, a preposterous lie which identifies the most progressive idea that reflects the demands of the popular masses with the reactionary idea of fascist rulers."

The work is one of great clarity which should be studied by all communists, socialists and progressives .
