THE WORKERS’ PARTY OF KOREA IS THE PARTY OF
THE GREAT LEADER COMRADE KIM IL SUNG
October 2, 1995
Fifty years have elapsed since our Party was founded.
Greeting the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers’
Party of Korea, and looking back with deep emotions upon the
glorious road of struggle our Party has traversed, scoring a
historic victory and effecting the greatest change by acclaiming
respected Comrade Kim Il Sung as its head and
under his leadership, our Party members and our people express the
warmest gratitude and pay the highest respect to the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung, who founded and led the Party.
Under Comrade Kim Il Sung’s
wise leadership, the Workers’ Party of Korea was established as a
working-class party of a new type and has developed in the
flames of struggle for half a century into a trained and seasoned
veteran revolutionary party, an unconquerable party enjoying the
unqualified support and trust of the people. Under his leadership, our
Party created a brilliant new history in the people’s cause of
independence, the cause of socialism, and made great, imperishable
achievements in this cause.
The history of the Workers’ Party of Korea is precisely the history of respected Comrade Kim Il Sung’s
great revolutionary activities. Both the thorny path of our
Party’s struggle and its road of glorious victory bear his sacred
footprints. Both our Party’s great achievements and its
unbreakable strength and high prestige are associated with his
respectful name.
The Workers’ Party of Korea belongs to the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
It is his great name and exploits that have made our Party’s 50
years brilliant. His name and exploits will be immortal together with
our Party’s history.
The Workers’ Party of Korea is a glorious party, which under the leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
has paved a new road of building a revolutionary party in the
age of independence, setting a shining example in this work.
Regarding party building as a fundamental question in the revolution, Comrade Kim Il Sung
made strenuous efforts from the early years of his revolutionary
activity to found the party that would lead our revolution. With
an unshakeable belief that the popular masses are the motive
force of the revolution, he waged the revolutionary struggle by
organizing these masses. He also did the work of founding the
Party, beginning with the laying of its basis in the grassroots, by
going to the popular masses to train true communists from among
them and forming grassroots Party organizations.
The organizational and ideological bases for founding our Party
were laid and consolidated in the crucible of the 20-year-long
arduous anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle under the leadership
of Comrade Kim Il Sung. The ranks of communist
hard core were trained and toughened, true unity and cohesion
were achieved in the revolutionary ranks centring around the
leader, and the mass basis for the communist movement was solidly laid,
through all manner of hardships in the do-or-die struggle.
In the course of organizing and leading the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to victory, Comrade Kim Il Sung created glorious revolutionary traditions, the lasting cornerstone of our Party and revolution.
Thanks to the solid organizational and ideological bases for
founding the Party and the glorious revolutionary traditions,
which were prepared during the anti-Japanese revolutionary
struggle, our Party was founded opportunely even in the complex
circumstances after liberation. It has been able to fulfil its
mission successfully as the political General Staff that guides
the building of a new country ever since its founding.
The establishment of the Workers’ Party of Korea enabled our
people to shape their destiny successfully under the guidance of
their reliable vanguard, their fighting General Staff. Its
establishment unfolded a new history of the revolutionary party
in the era of independence.
After founding the Party in an original manner, the respected leader Comrade Kim Il Sung gave wise leadership to the work of Party building and developed it into a great revolutionary party.
The history of our Party building is the history of brilliantly
implementing the Juche idea and translating into reality the idea
and theory of building the Party on the basis of the Juche idea
under Comrade Kim Il Sung’s leadership.
Our Party is a Juche-type revolutionary party, built and strengthened, guided by the Juche idea.
The guiding ideology of a party defines its character, its aim
of struggle and the basic direction of its development and
activities, and decides its fighting efficiency and strength.
Only a party guided by a great ideology can be a great party.
It is the most brilliant achievement of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
that he created the immortal Juche idea and thus showed the
popular masses a correct way to shape their destiny independently and
that he built a new, revolutionary party, guided by the Juche
idea, for the first time in the history of the communist
movement.
The Juche idea is a new scientific world outlook that correctly
reflects the popular masses’ desire for independence and the
requirements of the times. It is a great idea that has brought
about a historic change in the development of the revolutionary
idea of the working class. The Juche idea is the ideological and
theoretical basis of our Party building as well as the only guide
to revolution and construction. Our Party has been guided
consistently by the Juche idea in its building and activities.
Therefore, it has become a powerful revolutionary party with a
most durable foundation, a great, authoritative party capable of
leading the revolution and construction triumphantly. The
building of our Party is characterized basically by the fact that
it has built itself and conducted its activities, guided by the
Juche idea.
Based on the great Juche idea and the rich experiences in his
leadership of the revolutionary struggle at different stages,
Comrade Kim Il Sung newly elucidated the fundamentals
and basic principles of building a working-class party and the
ways to implement them, and fully systematized the
Juche-orientated idea and theory of Party building.
This idea and theory are, in a nutshell, the people-centred idea
and theory of Party building on the basis of the fundamental
principles of the Juche idea. Solving all problems in Party
building and activity by centring on people and through work with
people is the essence of this idea and theory. The solidity and
strength of the party and all the success in party building
depends on how the cadres and other members of the party are
educated and bound together organizationally and ideologically and how
the masses, the socio-class basis of the party, rally behind the
party. Work with people is the basis of party building, the
essence of party work and the mode of activity proper to the
working-class party which regards ideology as a weapon. Only when
it lays the primary emphasis on work with people, can the
working-class party build up its ranks firmly, strengthen its
mass foundation and lead the revolution and construction
successfully.
The Juche-oriented idea and theory of party building shed fresh
light on the fundamental principles of building the working-class
party, based on the principles of the driving force of
revolution. This force is an integral whole of the leader, the
party and the masses. Only under the guidance of the party and
the leader can the people hold their position as the driving
force of revolution and play their role satisfactorily. In the driving
force of revolution, the leader is the top brain and the centre of
unity, and the party is a political organization that
materializes the leader’s idea and guidance. The party as a
political leadership body is inconceivable apart from the
leader’s idea and guidance. Separated from the masses, the party
cannot lead the revolution and construction to victory. The
unbreakable unity of the leader, the party and the masses
centring around the leader constitutes the solidest and most powerful
revolutionary force, as well as a great motive force of the
revolution and construction. Therefore, the working-class party
must be built up into the leader’s party, the political
organization which realizes the leader’s idea and guidance, and
must achieve inseparable unity with the masses. This is a basic
requirement for the existence and development of the
working-class party and a fundamental principle that must be constantly
maintained and carried forward in party building.
Comrade Kim Il Sung’s
idea and theory on Party building expound the absolutely
scientific and revolutionary principles, basic rules and ways
which the working-class party must implement thoroughly in its building
and activity; therefore, they have become a powerful ideological
and theoretical weapon with which to consolidate our Party
organizationally and ideologically, strengthen the unbreakable
ties between the Party and the masses and steadily enhance the
leadership role of the Party.
The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung built our Party into a revolutionary party with a firmly established monolithic ideological system.
The
monolithic ideological system of the party is the leader’s
ideological system and his leadership system. Establishing the
monolithic ideological system is the basic way to build the party
as the leader’s party. Only when the monolith of ideology and
leadership is ensured through the establishment of the leader’s
ideological system and his leadership system is it possible to
achieve the ideological unity and organizational cohesion of the
party ranks and make the party play its role satisfactorily as a
political leadership body. The working-class party must be an
ideological purity and organizational integrity, the entire party
being dyed in its leader’s idea and moving as one under his unified
leadership.
Our
Party’s struggle to establish the monolithic ideological system
has been a struggle to equip Party members thoroughly with the
leader’s ideas and unite them firmly behind the leader in
ideology and purpose; at the same time, it has been a struggle to
overcome the heterogeneous ideas and factional elements which
conflict with the leader’s idea and guidance and disturb unity
and cohesion.
Under the leadership of Comrade Kim Il Sung,
our Party has steadily intensified ideological education to
equip all the Party members with the Juche idea, the
revolutionary idea of the Party, and has conducted a powerful
ideological struggle against flunkeyism, dogmatism, revisionism,
factionalism and other unsound ideas, as well as factional elements. As a
result, it eradicated factionalism, which had greatly harmed our
revolution through history, and prevented modern revisionism and
all other opportunist trends from infiltrating into our ranks.
That our Party overcame factionalism and flunkeyism in the Korean
communist movement and prevented the infiltration of any
opportunism, including modern revisionism, was the historic
victory achieved in the struggle to ensure the unity and cohesion
of the Party ranks and its purity and establish the monolithic
ideological system of the Party.
Through
the struggle to establish the monolithic ideological system, the
unity and cohesion of our Party developed into the unity of the
entire Party in ideology and purpose, reinforced by morality and
loyalty, based on the leader’s idea and centring on the leader.
Today all our Party members are armed solidly with the monolithic
ideology of our Party, the revolutionary idea of Comrade Kim Il Sung;
they know no other ideas but his revolutionary idea. They
resolutely defend and carry out the lines and policies of the
Party, cherishing loyalty to the Party and the leader as their
revolutionary faith and obligation. That all Party members are
united rock-solid behind the leader with one idea and faith and with
comradely love and revolutionary loyalty underlies the solidity and
unbreakability of the unity and cohesion of our Party.
The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung built our Party into a militant Party with a strong sense of organization and discipline.
This
sense of organization and discipline is the intrinsic
requirement of the socialist, communist movement based on
collectivism, as well as the basic guarantee for the fighting
efficiency of the revolutionary and militant party. The monolith
of ideology and leadership is ensured by organization and
discipline, and apart from them there can be no unity or cohesion. A
working-class party with no organization or discipline will not only
be unable to lead the revolution, but will itself be reduced to a
lethargic, nominal existence.
By correctly embodying the principle of democratic centralism in Party building and its activity, Comrade Kim Il Sung
firmly established the monolithic system of leadership and a
revolutionary and voluntary discipline within the Party. For our
Party the principle of democratic centralism is its
organizational principle, whereby democracy is brought into full
play on the basis of firmly establishing centralized discipline.
Centralism is revolutionary discipline and order according to which the
entire party acts as one under the monolithic leadership of the
leader. Without this, neither the unity of the party nor
concerted action can be ensured. Democracy means formulating the
party's line and policy by incorporating the will of the party
members and giving full play to their voluntary enthusiasm and
creativity in the struggle to implement them. When centralized
discipline is weakened and unprincipled "democracy" is tolerated,
disorder is created in the party, and the party will be torn
asunder. As a result of the correct application of the principle of
democratic centralism in our Party, the guidance of the leader is
effected smoothly from the Party centre down to the lowest
echelon and a revolutionary tone has been firmly established:
all Party organizations and Party members accept the Party's line
and policy as their own and implement them to the letter by
displaying a high degree of enthusiasm and creativity.
Enhancing
the function and role of party organizations and intensifying
the party life of the members is a major factor in improving
organization and discipline in the party. By strengthening all
its organizations and enhancing their function and role in every
possible way, our Party has ensured that they carry out their
activity strictly in accordance with the Party's organizational
principle and the system of Party work, and always work
vigorously full of vitality. At the same time, it has channelled
great effort into intensifying the Party life of its members. Party
members are linked with the leader through the party organization and
accept the leader's ideas and guidance and draw the breath of
the Party through Party organizational and ideological life.
Party life is a revolutionary school that arms Party members with
the leader's ideas, tempers their Party spirit and fosters the
sense of organization and discipline. The unity of the ideology
and action of millions of Party members is inconceivable apart
from Party life. A well-organized system of Party life and a
revolutionary tone of Party life have now been firmly established
in our Party; all members belonging to a particular Party
organization, regularly leading their life in accordance with the
unitary norms of Party life and taking part in it of their own
accord as the masters. As a result, the Party life of the members
has been put on a regular basis and has become a part of their
life, and the organization and discipline of the Party have been
strengthened markedly. Thus our Party has become a most highly
organized and disciplined party; all the Party members breathe
and act as one, based on a high degree of awareness and
consciousness; the Party thus fully displays its might as a militant
organization.
The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung built our Party into a mass party firmly rooted in broad sections of the population.
A working-class party can be invincible only when it welds
itself to the masses and enjoys the active support of the wide
sections of the population. As a matter of principle, the demand
of the working class represents the fundamental interest of the
working masses, and the historic mission of the working class is
to achieve social emancipation, not only for itself, but for all
toiling people. Ours is an era of independence, in which the
popular masses have emerged as the masters of history; the cause
of the masses for independence can advance victoriously only
through the energetic struggle of the working class and other broad
strata of the people.
By
correctly reflecting the fundamental interests of the working
class and other toiling masses, as well as the demand of the era
of independence, and proceeding from the specific situation in
our country, respected Comrade Kim Il Sung set
the line of building a mass party of the working people
comprising workers, peasants and working intellectuals, and put
this line into effect with success. The flag of our Party, inscribed
with a hammer, sickle and brush, is a graphic symbol of a
revolutionary party in the era of independence, the first of its
kind in history. It is the banner of unity and victory of the
popular masses, who are independently shaping their destiny.
In
accordance with the line of building a mass party, our Party
enlisted into itself many progressive elements from among
workers, peasants and working intellectuals, and properly
combined the quantitative growth and qualitative consolidation of
the Party ranks. Thus it continually expanded and strengthened
itself, while firmly maintaining its working-class and
revolutionary character. Our Party was built as a mass party and the
mass line was fully implemented in its activity. As a result, it
has grown in strength and developed into a party that defends and
represents the interests of the working masses and their demand
for independence. It has become a revolutionary party of the
working class rooted among the broad popular masses and
inseparably united with them.
The
validity and vitality of our Party line on building itself into a
mass party were verified more clearly as the building of
socialism developed in depth. The process of building socialism
is the process of transforming all members of society on the
pattern of the working class, the process of assimilating all
society to the working class. The line of building a mass party
fully conforms to the law that governs the building of socialism. By
implementing the line of building a mass party, our Party was able
to maintain its working-class character and at the same time
continually increase its ranks, strengthen its mass foundation
and accelerate the process of assimilating the whole of society
to the working class.
The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung built our Party in a far-sighted way to carry on its cause down through the generations.
The
cause of the popular masses for the independence is the cause of
the leader, the cause of the Party. It is a historic cause that
is carried on through many generations. It is only when the
working-class party firmly carries forward the ideas and guidance
of the leader down through generations that it can invariably
maintain its revolutionary character and appearance as a leading
political organization and carry out its honorable mission. If a
party is to correctly carry forward the ideas and guidance of the
leader, it must fully ensure the continuity of its own
development. Otherwise, the line of the revolution discontinues, and
renegades from the revolution appear to ruin the cause of the
leader, the cause of the party. This is a serious lesson of
history.
Respected Comrade Kim Il Sung
not only founded our Party and developed it to be an invincible
one, but, with his extraordinary far-sightedness of many years’
standing, laid solid foundation for a brilliant continuation and
accomplishment of the cause of the Party. Looking into the distant
future, Comrade Kim Il Sung clarified the way to
be followed by our Party and our revolution, laid firm
organizational and ideological bases for the Party and
established the leadership system for the continuation and
accomplishment of the revolutionary cause of Juche.
The ideas and leadership of respected Comrade Kim Il Sung
are an unshakeable inheritance of our Party. Today, as a
revolutionary party with high prestige and indestructible might,
our Party enjoys full support and trust from the people and is
confidently leading revolution and construction.
The
working-class party is the weapon for the revolution. The
foundation of the party and its organizational and ideological
strength are aimed at realizing the popular masses’ cause of
independence.
In
the past 50 years since its foundation, our Party has led the
popular masses, winning a great victory in revolution and
construction, and gaining rich and valuable experience.
Since
national liberation through a bloody revolutionary war against
the Japanese, our revolution has advanced through an
unprecedentedly complex situation and an arduous struggle. The
division of the country by foreign forces, the Fatherland
Liberation War against the invasion of the allied forces of
imperialism, the ceaseless maneuvers for aggression and sabotage
by imperialism, the turbulent international situation and the collapse
of socialism in several countries, and the subsequent
intensification of anti-socialist, anti-DPRK machinations by
imperialists and reactionaries – in the face of all these events,
we carried out the two stages of social revolution successfully,
reconstructed the country twice, built a form of socialism
centred on the masses, and added lustre to our socialism while
defending staunchly the sovereignty of the country and the achievements
of the revolution. The revolution and construction have been
promoted with vigour in spite of innumerable difficulties and
hardships, bringing about great changes in the life of the
country and its people.
Our
socialism defends and ensures the independence for the popular
masses and satisfies their demand for independence to the full.
All the members of society exercise equal rights to independence
in political, economic and cultural lives, and enjoy valuable and
worthwhile lives free from all manner of social unrest and
worry. Our society is a most stable and durable one, in which all
the people are united single-heartedly around the Party and
leader, forming one great, harmonious family. Our entire society
is overflowing with health and vitality and is full of
revolutionary mettle. The communist morality, now being displayed to a
high degree among our people, of devoting oneself to society and
the collective, and of helping and leading one another in a
comradely way demonstrates the advantages and might of the
socialist system in our country and graphically shows the
ennobling ideological and spiritual traits of our people.
Under
the leadership of the Party, our people have traversed the road
of victory, braving the difficulties and obstacles in their way,
and are working energetically for fresh victory, full of
confidence in and optimism for the future. Even in the present
complicated situation, our socialism continues to win one victory
after another without vacillation, and our socialist motherland
is demonstrating its dignity and honour far and wide.
The
imperialists and reactionaries have often resorted to various
machinations to check the advance of our Party and people, and to
stifle our socialism, but they have failed in every attempt.
The
practical experience of our revolution patently proves that the
people, who are united as one under the leadership of their great
leader and the great party and fighting for their just cause,
are unconquerable, and that the present age is a new, historic
age, the age of independence, when the popular masses have
emerged as masters of their own destiny. Guided by our Party, our
people have paved a new path to accomplishing the masses’ cause
of independence, the path to genuine socialism, and built and developed a
socialism centred on the popular masses, thus dealing decisive
blows at reactionary propaganda that vilifies socialism, and
confirming in practice the scientific and genuine nature of
socialism, its advantages and its invincibility.
For
our Party, which is entrusted with the responsibility for the
destiny of the country and nation, national reunification has
been the supreme task since the first day of its founding. Our
Party has consistently followed the policy of national
reunification, a policy based on the three principles of
independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity.
Reflecting the aspiration for reunification of the whole nation in
the north, south and abroad, it put forward the most reasonable, fair
and realistic proposal of reunifying the country through
federation, and is now striving for its implementation. It is
also making every effort to realize the great unity of the nation
under the banner of national reunification. Our Party’s policy
of national reunification is truly patriotic and it enjoys the
unanimous support and approval of the whole nation. Thanks to the
impeccable policy and consistent effort of our Party for
national reunification, the national aspiration for reunification has
mounted higher as never before and the national unity of all
compatriots in the north, south and abroad has grown stronger.
The ever-growing reunification force of our nation will defeat
the divisive forces at home and abroad and realize the cause of
national reunification without fail.
Our
Party has led the popular masses’ cause of independence to
brilliant victory, making great achievements along the way,
because it has applied Juche principles and methods of leadership
in the revolution and construction in a thoroughgoing way.
In
leading the revolution and construction, our Party has always
safeguarded the demands and interests of the popular masses,
relied on them and carried out its fight by forming an integral
whole with them.
That the popular masses are the masters of the revolution and construction and that they have the power to promote them—this
is the fundamental principle of the revolution, as elucidated by
the Juche idea. The policy that defends and realizes the masses’
demands for independence and their interests is the most
revolutionary and scientific, and relying on the popular masses
and giving full play to their strength and wisdom is the basic
demand of revolutionary leadership. If one believes in the people
and relies on them, one will always emerge victorious; and if
one is divorced from them and is forsaken by them, one will
always fail—this is the concept of “The people are my God,” the motto
of respected Comrade Kim Il Sung, and this has become the basic starting-point and supreme principle in all the activities of our Party.
Respected Comrade Kim Il Sung
was the great leader of the people and their father. His
ideology, leadership and virtue were based on love for, and trust
in, the people. All his life he was among the people, shared joy and
sorrow with them and devoted his all to them. He placed deep trust
in the strength, wisdom and excellent qualities of our people and
solved all problems by relying on them and by giving rein to
their revolutionary zeal and creative force.
Our Party has fully applied in all its activities the noble idea of Comrade Kim Il Sung,
"The people are my God,” and his revolutionary method of
leadership. It has always formulated its lines and policies by
reflecting truthfully and incorporating the opinions and requirements of
the popular masses, and implemented them by enlisting their
efforts and resourcefulness. It has given definite priority to
ideological work, namely, the political work of awakening the
popular masses ideologically and rallying them organizationally,
over all other undertakings; it has also worked tirelessly to
oppose abuse of authority and bureaucratism and establish a
revolutionary method and popular style of work among officials.
The iron rule in the activities of our Party and in the work of
our officials is to go among the people, breathe the same air with them,
work devotedly for them and execute revolutionary tasks by
relying on them under the Party’s slogan, “We serve the people.”
Our Party is a motherly party, which takes care of the destiny of
the popular masses under its charge, and its politics is a
benevolent one in that it is the politics of love for the people
and trust in them.
Because
of their genuine comradeship and their inseparable relationship,
in which the Party and leader trust and love the people and the
people place unqualified trust in them and support them with
loyalty, the single-hearted unity of the leader, Party and masses
has been strengthened and developed and the revolutionary
enthusiasm and creative force of the popular masses have been
fully displayed on a high plane. Relying on the popular masses
and welding itself to them in the struggle—this is the secret of
how our Party has been able to promote the revolution and
construction with vigour in such complicated circumstances and trying
ordeals, and has won victory after victory by turning misfortune
into a blessing and unfavourable conditions into favourable ones.
In
leading the revolution and construction, our Party has
established Juche with all consistency and firmly adhered to the
line of independence.
Independence
is man’s intrinsic desire and the lifeblood of a country and nation.
The revolution and construction are conducted with a country and
nation as a unit, and they are the very struggle against all
manner of domination and subjugation. They are for the
independence of the country and nation, the independence of the
popular masses. The party and people of each country must become
masters of the revolution and construction in their country and
wage them independently and creatively. It is only when the
working-class party establishes Juche firmly and strictly adheres to the
line of indepednece that it can defend the dignity of the
country and nation, ensure their independent development and lead
the masses’ cause of independence to victory. Owing to the
circumstances in which our country found itself and the
historical characteristics of our revolution, establishing Juche
was presented as an all the more pressing and important task to
our Party.
From the first days of his revolutionary activity, the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
blazed the trail of independent development of the Korean
revolution, holding aloft the banner of independence. He made it a
fundamental principle to establish Juche and maintain independence in
the revolution and construction, then led the effort to implement
it. The line of Juche in ideology, independence in politics,
self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in defence, as
advanced by Comrade Kim Il Sung, is a
revolutionary line of independence run through with the principle
of Juche and spirit of independence. Our Party has staunchly
safeguarded this line and implemented it to the letter.
Our
Party has solved all problems arising in the revolution and
construction, as dictated by its ideology and faith, on its own
responsibility and on the principle of self-reliance, doing
things in our own way to suit our situation and the interests of
our revolition. It has been opposed totally to the worship of big
powers, dogmatism and all other ideas of relying on foreign
forces, and rejected categorically any pressure and interference
from outside. Free from established theories and formulas, it has
analysed and judged everything solely from the point of view of
the interests of the revolution and hewed out the road of the
complicated and arduous Korean revolution by its own efforts, as
dictated by its faith and determination. By conducting
energetically among its members and the working people the
education in Party policies, revolutionary traditions and
socialist patriotism, with an emphasis on the education in the Juche
idea, it has imbued them with the revolutionary ideology, lines and
policies of their Party, instilled in them high national dignity
and pride and given full play to their revolutionary spirit of
self-reliance and the revolutionary tone of living our own way.
Since
they strictly adhered to the Juche stand and line of
independence, our Party and people have not vacillated in the
raging wind of modern revisionism and all other opportunist
trends, and in the trying situation in which socialism collapsed
in several countries, they have been able to defend and add
lustre to our style of socialism. Our political and ideological
strength, the powerful socialist independent economy and the
unconquerable self-reliant military power, which our Party and people
have consolidated rock-solid through the implementation of the
revolutionary line of independence, self-sufficiency and
self-reliant defence, are the sure guarantee for defending the
sovereignty of the country and the achievements of the
revolution, advancing the revolution and construction
victoriously and thwarting the aggression and interference of
imperialism and dominationism. The fact shows that the political
and diplomatic pressure of imperialism, its attempts to
disintegrate us ideologically and culturally, its economic blockade and military threat—none
of these are able to infringe upon the sovereignty of our
country, nor can they demolish or suffocate our socialism.
The
independence of a country and nation is the basis for fair
international relations, and an independent foreign policy is the
justest and most principled foreign policy. All countries and
nations, whether they are large or small, developed or
less-developed, have the rights to independence and equality as
equal members of the international society. When they all
maintain independence and respect each other’s independence, they
can develop fair international relations and build a truly peaceful
and friendly new world where independence prevails. By following a
foreign policy based on the ideals of independence, peace and
friendship, our Party and Government have developed the relations
of friendship and cooperation with many countries in the world,
consolidated the country’s international position, strengthened
international solidarity with our revolution and rendered an
active contribution to the cause of independence throughout the
world.
The
Juche stand and independent line, consistently maintained by our
Party in revolution and construction, have clearly demonstrated
their correctness and great vitality in practice.
Our
Party has resolutely adhered to its revolutionary principle and
invariably implemented the revolutionary line and policy in
leading the revolution and construction.
Consistently
adhering to the revolutionary principle in accomplishing the
cause of the popular masses for independence, the socialist
cause, is an important question affecting the destiny of the
revolution. Maintaining the revolutionary principle means
defending the fundamental interest of the revolution and leading
it to victory without any deviation, whereas falling back from
the revolutionary principle means betraying the fundamental
interest of the revolution and leading it to failure. The history
of the revolutionary movement shows that if one retreats even a
single step from the revolutionary principle, one will retreat two
steps, and once this happens, one will go back ten steps, and
thus will eventually make a mess of the revolution. Opportunism
of all hues is characterized by a lack of revolutionary principle
and by inconsistency in line and policy. The revolutionary
principle in carrying out the socialist cause is guaranteed by
the working-class party’s loyalty to and faith in the socialist
cause as well as by its will to carry this cause to completion.
Respected Comrade Kim Il Sung
was a great communist revolutionary and a genius of revolution
and construction. With unshakeable revolutionary faith and
steel-like revolutionary will, he led our arduous and tortuous
revolution along the straight road to victory, with unfailing loyalty to
the cause of the popular masses for independence, the socialist
cause of Juche. Comrade Kim Il Sung led our
Party and people by setting a brilliant example of the art of
leadership. He defended the revolutionary principle under all
circumstances and conditions, and skillfully combined principle
and adroitness in revolution and construction.
Proceeding
from the fundamental interests of the revolution, our Party has
always adhered to the principle of independence, and to the
principle of the working class and socialism in revolution and
construction, and thoroughly carried out the revolutionary line
with consistency. Our Party accelerated the revolution and
construction with continuous creative efforts and innovation to
meet the demands of the developing reality. While dealing with
the rapidly changing situation actively and shrewdly, it has never
taken single step back from the fundamental interests and principles
of the revolution and firmly maintained the revolutionary
principle and line. Highly creative attitude and adroitness based
on the revolutionary principle and consistency in its line and
policy—these are the important principles and art of leadership
our Party adheres to in the revolution and construction, as well
as being the characteristics of our Party’s revolutionary line
and policy.
Throughout
its leadership of the revolution and construction, our Party has
never deviated from the revolutionary principle, never allowed
itself to be swayed to right or left without principle, and never
made a mistake in this line. Thanks to our Party’s revolutionary
principle and the consistency of its line and policy, our
revolution has been able to advance victoriously along the road
to socialism with no twists and deviations, even in the most
arduous conditions. And also our own style of socialism, centred
on the popular masses, has become a firm conviction of our people
and taken root deeper in the people’s life. Our people place
unqualified trust in our Party, the Party that has confidently led the
revolution and construction. They entrust their destiny entirely
to it and are fighting indomitably to complete the revolutionary
cause of Juche under the leadership of the Party.
Our
Party’s great exploits and precious experience in Party building
and Party activity, as well as in revolution and construction,
are the brilliant fruition of the revolutionary idea and
revolutionary leadership of the respected leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
They are the eternal treasures of our revolution, which we must
defend, inherit and develop through generations to come.
Our
revolution has emerged victorious under the leadership of our
Party, and in future, too, it will advance in triumph and will be
carried forward to brilliant completion under its leadership.
We
still have a long way to go, and our revolution is beset with as
many hardships and trials as ever. No matter how long and thorny
the road ahead for our revolution, pioneered and led by the
great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, we must steadily follow this way in accordance with the behest of Comrade Kim Il Sung. This is the unshakeable faith and will of our Party.
We must safeguard the people-centred socialism of our own style, established by respected Comrade Kim Il Sung,
bring honour to it and complete the socialist cause of Juche. We
must unfailingly achieve national reunification, the vital
demand of the entire nation, on the principles of independence,
peaceful reunification and great national unity set forth by
Comrade Kim Il Sung. Upholding the lofty will of Comrade Kim Il Sung,
our Party must strengthen solidarity with the progressive people
of the world and work hard to realize the cause of independence
for mankind.
In order to carry forward the sacred cause of Comrade Kim Il Sung,
the revolutionary cause of Juche, from generation to generation,
we must further consolidate our Party, which organizes and
guides all the victories of our people.
We must hold in high esteem beloved Comrade Kim Il Sung as the eternal leader of our Party and revolution, and develop our Party as the glorious Party of Comrade Kim Il Sung for ever.
We
must defend his great ideas, theories and revolutionary methods
of leadership, and thoroughly apply them in Party building and
activities. We must do all the work of revolution and
construction just as Comrade Kim Il Sung planned and intended and showed in his personal example, and we must conduct everything in the same way as Comrade Kim Il Sung. This is the way to develop our Party as the Party of Comrade
Kim Il Sung, the way to brilliantly inherit and complete the revolutionary cause of Juche.
Kim Il Sung, the way to brilliantly inherit and complete the revolutionary cause of Juche.
We must resolutely safeguard the revolutionary idea of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and thoroughly put it into effect.
The revolutionary idea of Comrade Kim Il Sung,
the Juche idea, is the sole guiding ideology of our Party and
the banner of victory for our Party and revolution. It would be
impossible to speak about the Party of Comrade Kim Il Sung or to think of the victory of the Party’s cause separately from his revolutionary idea.
Holding
high the banner of modelling the entire Party on the Juche idea,
we must further strengthen education in the Juche idea, so that
the Party is imbued with only one ideology, the Juche idea, and
make the whole Party breathe and pulsate with the Juche idea. We
must train all Party members to be communist revolutionaries of
the Juche type, firmly equipped with the Juche-orientated
revolutionary outlook on the world and thinking and acting at all
times as demanded by the Juche idea.
We
must defend the purity of the Juche idea and ceaselessly develop
it in depth. Degeneration of ideology brings about degeneration
of the Party; it leads the revolution and construction to ruin.
Adherence to the purity of the Juche idea means keeping our
Party’s revolutionary character and defending the Party’s cause.
We must ceaselessly fight against the infiltration of bourgeois
reactionary ideas, revisionism and all other ideological trends
of opportunism so as to prevent the heterogeneous ideological
trends from getting even the slightest chance of gaining ground
and growing in our ranks. While defending the revolutionary essence
and purity of the Juche idea, we must add luster to its greatness and
develop and enrich it as required by the times and the
developing realities.
True
to the Party’ s slogan, “Let us meet the requirements of Juche
in ideology, technology and culture!” we must deal with all work
of revolution and construction as required by the Juche idea. We
must thoroughly implement the Juche idea in building the Party,
the army, the economy and culture, to further strengthen the
political, economic and military power of the country, bring
about development and the flowering of socialist national
culture, and fully display the advantages of our own style of
socialism centred on the popular masses.
We must defend and cherish the unity and solidarity of our Party created by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, and cement this cohesion more solidly.
The
unity and cohesion in the party ranks means its lifeblood and
strength. Our Party’s unity and cohesion is the purest and most
durable, based on the monolithic ideological system, and a
guarantee for the indestructible might of our Party.
We
must consistently hold fast to the work of establishing the
Party’s monolithic ideological system as the basic line of Party
building, and defend and strengthen further the unity and
cohesion of our Party, which is firmly united in ideology and
will as well as in morality and loyalty based on one ideology amd
one centre. All the cadres and Party members must make loyalty
to the Party their faith, conscience, morality and the creed of
their lives, and follow the Party’s leadership firmly, united in
mind and will.
We
must oppose all kinds of unsound elements detrimental to the
Party’s unity and cohesion and ensure the purity of the Party
ranks. Our Party’s unity and cohesion has reached a high level,
but we must not rest content. The unity and cohesion of the Party
can be maintained and consolidated only through constant
ideological education and ideological struggle. We must not
tolerate nepotism, parochialism, factionalism and other elements that
undermine and hamper the Party’s unity and cohesion. We must
overcome them promptly so that the Party is always permeated with
the spirit of unity, the atmosphere of unity.
We must thoroughly put into effect the great Comrade Kim Il Sung’s
idea, “The people are my God,” so as to further cement the
inseparable ties between the Party and the people and ceaselessly
strengthen and develop the single-hearted unity of society.
Our
Party exists for the people and regards it as its duty to fight
to meet the interests of the people and their desire for
independence. Taking loving care of the people, serving them and
forming a harmonious whole with them—these are the intrinsic
nature and basic characteristics of the Party of Comrade Kim Il Sung.
Our people are a great revolutionary people, who were brought up by respected Comrade Kim Il Sung
and who braved the tempest of the revolution under his
leadership; they are an excellent people equipped with noble
ideological and mental traits under our Party’s benevolent politics and
the socialist system of our country. Our Party strongly believes
in our people, who are boundlessly loyal to the Party and
revolution; it overcomes all difficulties and hardships by
relying on their unrivalled heroism and unquenchable creative
force. Our people’s unquestioned trust in and unanimous support
for our Party are a source of invincible strength for the Party.
Serving our fine people is a great honour and pride for our
Party.
We
must thoroughly implement the consistent ideas and policies of
our Party, which takes loving care of the people, champions their
demands and interests and fights for their independent and
creative life. We must build more effectively our Party as a
genuine motherly party that leads and takes care of the destiny
of the people on its own responsibility, and must enhance the
spirit of service for the people among officials so that they
might put the benevolent politics of the Party into practice more
efficiently. We must ensure that all the officials serve the people
devotedly, acting as their servants and the champions of their
interests.
We must fully implement the Chongsanri spirit and Chongsanri method, as created by Comrade Kim Il Sung,
and hold high as ever the Party’s slogan, “Let the whole Party
go among the masses!” All the officials must acquire more firmly
the revolutionary and popular style of work; they should always
go deep among the masses, share good and bad times with them,
teach them and at the same time learn from them, and carry out the
revolutionary tasks by giving rein to their revolutionary enthusiasm
and creative zeal. We must resolutely oppose and reject abuse of
power, bureaucracy, irregularity and corruption among officials,
and ensure that they acquire modest and unpretentious traits and
establish a frugal and upright way of life.
The
Party must believe in the people and the people in the Party,
striving vigorously as one, thus further consolidating the
single-hearted unity of society as a whole. As we have advanced
in the past by braving difficulties on the strength of the
single-hearted unity of the Party and the people, so we must in
future, too, pave the way of victory and glory by relying on the
might of single-hearted unity.
Today
our Party and people have embarked on the road of new historic
advance. Our Party will inherit and develop faithfully the idea
and achievements of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and accomplish his cause down through generations.
The Workers’ Party of Korea will shine for ever as the Party of Comrade Kim Il Sung
