DPRK Is Politico-Ideological Power that Made Victorious History by Dint of the Juche-oriented Theory on Ideology

Associate Prof. Jong Ho Dong Head of Department, Kim Il Sung Higher Party School

Ideology is the main in the revolution and construction and ideological and mental strength of the popular masses decides everything this is the theory of ideology clarified by the Workers' Party of Korea.
70-year long history of our Republic is the history of great struggle and victory, the history of huge creation and change in which it safeguarded independence and honor of the country and built a prosperous socialist country by giving fullest play to the popular masses' ideological and mental strength with the Juche-oriented theory of ideology under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The people-centered socialist state to be the envy of by the world was built on this land, independence and the rights to existence and development of the country and nation have been reliably safeguarded even in the imperialists' unprecedented and desperate military aggression and vicious political and economic blockade and has become a full-fledged world strategic state today—this is the result produced by the Juche-oriented theory of ideology.
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said.
“Thanks to the wise leadership of the President and the General, who gave priority to ideological work and resolved all problems by enlisting the mental strength of the masses of the people in the whole course of their leadership of the Korean revolution, the revolution inscribed only victory on its flag, even though it was blazing a new trail in history.”
The DPRK has held fast to and thoroughly applied the principle that the popular masses’ indomitable mental strength decides everything as the most
powerful weapon in carving out the destiny of country and nation, creation and prosperity and herein lies the fundamental source of invincibility and might, a firm guarantee of eternal victory of the DPRK.
Popular masses' struggle to realize independence is accompanied by confrontation with imperialism and the confrontation with imperialism can be said to be that of ideology instead of the confrontation of strength.
Our Republic defeated two formidable imperialist enemies to firmly safeguard independence of the country and nation and reliably defended the anti-imperialist outpost against the imperialist allied forces for a long period and as result, our country has become a fortress of independence against imperialism. This is not because that the DPRK has H-bomb or an aircraft carrier but it has the politico-ideological strength that no one can have.
The Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists' armed invasion was the fierce fight deciding life and death of the country and nation. However, under the wise leadership of the Party and the leader, our army and people fought heroically by displaying the spirit of devotedly defending the leader, the spirit of defending the country and the matchless mass heroism in the front and the rear. As a result, it defeated the US imperialists who boasted of being “the strongest in the world while clamouring their superiority in number and technology and safeguarded freedom and independence of the country with honour, encouraged the anti-imperialist national liberation struggle of the oppressed people and made great contribution to the world peace. The brilliance victory in the Fatherland Liberation War that can be called the showdown between rifle and A-bomb was the victory of the great mental strength of our army and the people firmly united behind the Party and the leader in one ideology and will. We call the spirit that brought about the great victory in the Fatherland Liberation War the spirit of defending the country in the 1950s.
Even after the war, the Workers' Party of Korea defined it as an important strategic policy to be adhered to in hastening the final victory of the Korean revolution to inherit the great spirit of defending the country in the 1950s that carried forward the revolutionary spirit of Paektu and conducted ideological education consistently to train the army and people to be the steadfast vanguard fighters in the anti-imperialist and class struggle.
As it directed primary efforts into the undertaking to fully prepare the army and people to be the steadfast fighters in defence of socialism, our Republic could resolutely destroy the US imperialists' ceaseless aggressive war provocations including the “Pueblo” incident, “EC-121” incident and the “Panmunjom" incident after the war to firmly safeguard independence and dignity of the country and nation, peace and security of the world.
Our Republic achieved one victory after another in the DPRK-US nuclear showdown in the end of the last century in which the world people unanimously appraised it as the confrontation between the DPRK and the world and neutralized the touch-and-go situation of armed conflict in August 2016 caused by the grave political and military provocations by the hostile forces to defend the dignity and security of the country--this was the brilliant victory brought about by the might of great army-people unity that is based on the ardent spirit of defending the country.
History and reality clearly proves that the Juche-oriented theory of ideology is the ideological and theoretical weapon guaranteeing the invincible might of our Republic and solidity of state social system and that no one can dare trample down independence and dignity of the Republic as long as it applies this great idea and theory thoroughly.
The DPRK is also an invincible politico-ideological power that has created the world example in socialist construction upholding the banner of the Juche-oriented theory of ideology.
Truthfulness, validity and invincible vitality of the Juche-oriented theory of ideology have been fully demonstrated not only in the struggle to defend the country but in the struggle for the building of socialism.
Socialist construction is, in essence, the course of building a powerful main force for the country building by training the popular masses to be those with strong in independent spirit and the inexhaustible mental strength of the army and people is the powerful driving force that brings about great changes and miracles in the building of a powerful socialist state.
After liberation, our Republic opened up a new road of the country building by launching the general ideological mobilization movement for nation building, the mass ideological remoulding movement. In the whole course of its development, our Republic regarded it as an unbreakable principle to solve all problems by giving priority to the ideological work and enlisting the mental strength of the masses of the people and thoroughly implemented it, thus creating miracles and innovations which startled the world people.
Ideological campaign that enabled the party members and working people to fully understand the prevailing political situation and important problems in every important period of the revolution and construction and made the whole country seethe and inspired all the people by putting forward militant slogans in succession, gave birth to the legendary Chollima on debris of the war and our Republic could be placed on the position of a socialist powerful country independent, self-sufficient and self-reliant in defence in the short period of history in the international arena.
New spirits of the times such as the revolutionary soldier spirit and Kanggye spirit were created in succession in such a severe period that existing itself was regarded as a miracle. As a result, the Arduous March was turned into the march to paradise and our Republic could vigorously advance towards the building of a powerful socialist country.
Our Republic dealt a heavy blow to the moves of hostile forces to obliterate even the elementary right to existence of its people with ferocious sanctions and suffocation unprecedented in human history and won the great victory in the new line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force in a short span of less than 5 years. Such remarkable mega event is also the great historic victory of the nation brought about by the conviction of the army and people that plans and will of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un are precisely the decision and practice of the DPRK and by the loyalty of our people who supported and followed the Party even in the severest trials and difficulties.
But for such weapon as the ideological and mental strength monopolized by our Republic, it could not have created a miracle of history that it has become a powerful country of Juche braving all sorts of unprecedented trials and difficulties.
The Juche-oriented theory of ideology, the most powerful weapon of creation and prosperity displays its invariable vitality even in today's struggle to accomplish the cause of building a powerful socialist country by further accelerating the advance of our revolution.
Through the today's stirring realities in which the numerous eye-opening events are achieved one after another in all fronts of building a powerful socialist country by dint of the single-minded unity of the army and people with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un as the only center and with the great spirit of self-reliance and self-development as the dynamic forces, not only our people but the whole world are deeply convinced of the bright future of our Republic that has become ever more powerful and prosperous by dint of the great idea and theory like the Juche-oriented theory of ideology.
There are many countries and nations in the world, but the world knows no one as the Korean people who have brought about brilliant victories and epoch-making changes in the revolution and construction while braving trials of history by dint of powerful mental strength. Eternal victory and glory are in store for our Republic that is advancing with the ideological and mental strength of the great people as the only weapon of creation and construction.
