It is 45 years since a group of south Korean armed guerrillas launched an attack on the Chongwadae or Blue House the presidential mansion of south Korean fascist puppet ruler Park Chung Hee. On the night of the 21st of January a group of south Korean guerrillas advanced to within 500 metres of the Chongwadaeand opened fire. In the ensuing battle more than 400 US troops were killed or wounded as well south Korean puppet troops.
The south Korean puppets have falsely claimed that the incident was the result of "infiltration the north ". This is nonsense. For one thing it would have been extremely difficult to infiltrate across the heavily guarded De Militarised Zone with its minefields and get as far as Seoul. The fascist regime of Park Chung Hee was notorious for faking up spy cases and 'infiltration' incidents in order to jail or put to death dissidents (such as the two "People's Revolutionary Party " cases )
Armed guerrilla struggle in south Korea arose because of the acute social, class and national contradictions as well as the oppression of the people by the south Korean puppet regime . The successive fascist dictatorships in south Korea denied the people of all possiblities for peaceful and democraticstruggle so there was no alternative but to turn to armed struggle. Armed struggle had a long history in south Korea going back to the 1940s when there were armed uprisings against Syngham Rhee and the US imperialist overlords. After the end of the Korean war guerrillas such as Jong Sun Dok fought the south Korean puppet regime in the mountains until the 1960s. In the 1960s the militant anti-imperialists took up arms to fight against the Park Chung Hee fascist puppet regime that was oppressing and exploiting the people and selling out the country to its masters the US imperialists and Japanese militarists.
We salute the memory of the heroic guerrillas of south Korea who fought for liberation and national reunification.
