Dr Dermot Hudson said " Recently on the 19th of June the Korean people celebrated the 52nd anniversary of the start of work of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. One of the central pillars of his work was the guidance he gave to ideological work.
In the 1990s a very difficult situation arose when socialism was frustrated in a number of countries such as the USSR. The imperialists crowed about the "collapse of socialism"At the time there was much soul searching as well as apprehension amongst supporters of socialism. Why was socialism frustrated? What can be done to successfully build socialism and avoid the pitfall of the restoration of capitalism? People racked their brains. Why they asked , what had had gone wrong ?. The great leader Comrade KIM JONG IL, the successor to the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG wrote a number of works such as "The Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable " and Socialism Is A Science". On the 19th of June 1995 he delivered the talk “Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism “. Which directly addresses the question of ideology under socialism. “Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism “ is a most invaluable work that gives answers to key questions in building socialism and should be studied by all.
Shaun Pickford said that the work " Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism " is a very valuable work. It gives a clear and lucid definition of socialism which rejects the idea of the capitalist market economy. Contrary to what some people the DPRK is not opening up or "reforming ". The DPRK gives priority to ideological.
David Munoz JISGE member and UK KFA Organisation said that " Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism " is a very valuable work that everyone should. He had witnessed the reality of socialism for himself in the DPRK.
All participants agreed that the DPRK is the only true socialist country.
Dr Hudson spoke about "Become Pillars Supporting A Prosperous Future Korea" shows that the DPRK value children and take their upbringing very seriously. The DPRK is the only country in the world where a state leader would address a childrens organisation. Indeed the DPRK treasures children as the future pillars of the country. Marshal KIM JONG UN in the work refers to the fact that children are the successors to the Songun revolution.
Some organisational matters were also discussed at the meeting.
