73 years since the founding of the vanguard of the Korean working people- the Workers Party of Korea


On the 10th of October this year, there will be 73 years from a moment with a major impact for the Korean people: the founding of the Workers Party of Korea. In its 70-year existence, the Workers Party has firmly led the Korean people on the road of socialism and communism, thus the DPRK becoming an invincible fortress of the anti-imperialist democratic camp, which all reactionaries fear.
The Workers Party of Korea has it historical roots in the Down-With-Imperialism Union, founded by great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung on October 17, 1926. This Juche-oriented revolutionary organization had as purpose the liberation of Korea from the yoke of Japanese imperialism, the building of socialism and communism in Korea and, further, destroying all imperialists and bringing communism throughout the world. The Founding Congress of the Communist Party of North Korea (CPNK), held on October 10, 1945, was a turning point of the Korean Revolution, because it opened the road of the democratic, anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution and the also the road of genuine democratic reforms.
With Comrade Kim Il Sung as its leader, the Communist Party of North Korea made strenous efforts for the building of a new, democratic, rich and independent state. Through the creation of the National United Front, which included the Democratic Party, New People’s Party, Chondoist Chongu Party, Democratic Youth League, Democratic Women’s Union of North Korea and the General Federation of Trade Unions of North Korea, the Communist Party rallied closely around him the popular masses, with the aim of building a new country.
Between 28th and 30 th of August 1946, there took place the founding Congress of the Workers Party of North Korea (WPNK), in which the Communist Party merged with the New People’s Party. The post of general secretary of the party was given to Comrade Kim Il Sung, the liberator of the Korean people from the yoke of Japanese imperialism.
1948 is a year full of victories for the Korean people, a lot of important events taking place then: the anti-imperialist struggle of the people from Jeju Island, which were guided by the fearless members of the Workers Party of South Korea, the founding of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on September 9 and the Second Congress of the Workers Party of North Korea (from 27 to 30 August 1948), where Comrade Kim Il Sung was elected as a member of the Central Committee.
In 1949, the Workers Party of Korea was created, through the merger of the Workers Parties of North and South, thus a centralized leadership was formed. During the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953), the Fourth Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of Workers Party of Korea and the Joint Meeting of People’s Committe Chairmen took place. This two meetings greately improved the ideological unity of the Party members, rallied firmly as a rock around the general secretary, Comrade Kim Il Sung. It must also be mentioned that the Marxist-Leninist standpoint was maintained, at the same time Juche and Songun being thoroughly implemented. After the war, when the period of the socialist reconstruction began, the Workers Party mobilized the Korean people to rebuild their beloved land, and the 5-Year Plans were launched.
After 1956, modern revisionism began to show its ugly face, traitors such as Khrushchev slinging mud at the revolutionary legacy of Comrade Stalin (XX Congress of the CPSU) and at the same time shamelessly promoting peaceful co-existance with the US imperialists. At the 3rd Congress of the Workers Party of Korea (23-29th of April 1956), great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung adopted a firm attitude, defending the revolutionary legacy of Comrade Stalin and stronlgy criticising the dogmatists and factionalists, who were engrossed in big-power chauvinism and flunkeysm. Independence was the key word that stood at the foundations of the Workers Party of Korea.
Proletarian internationalism is another characteristic which defines the Workers Party of Korea. Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung offered moral and material support to the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America, who were fighting for their liberation from the yoke of colonialism and for their freedom and independence. A good example is the Vietnamese people’s anti-imperialist struggle, Comrade Kim Il Sung sending military equipment and personnel in order to help the Vietnamese people, led by Comrade Ho Chi Minh, in their fight against the US imperialists.
Between the 1970s and the 1980s, the Workers Party of Korea pushed forward the construction of socialism and communism in the DPRK under the red banner of the Juche Idea. The 5th and 6th Congresses of the WPK took place, which fixed the future tasks of the Party and accelerated the cause of the Reunification.
Revolutionary succesion was always an important principle of the WPK, which allowed the Korean Revolution to steadily advance. Comrade Kim Jong Il, the son of great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, was chosen by the Party members and the Korean people the succesor of Kim Il Sung. Very important to know ist that Comrade Kim Jong Il proved to be a reliable Party member, working at the Central Committee since a young age (1964).
Towards the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 90s, socialism collapsed in Eastern Europe. Seeing this, the imperialist reactionaries falsely claimed that socialism doesn’t work, spearheading their attacks on the DPRK, which was holding high the red flag of the Revolution. After the passing away of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, which occured on the 8th of July 1994 and caused grief among the Korean people and also the bad weather conditions paved the way for the Arduous March. General Kim Jong Il, general sceretary of the Workers Party of Korea and Chairman of the National Defence Comission, put a strong emphasis on Songun politics, saying that military affairs should be given priority, the People’s Army being a staunch defender of socialism and playing a major role in the socialist construction. He conducted numerous visits at military posts, industrial enterprises and in the coutryside, in order to mobilize the masses for the improvement of the people’s living standards and in the defence of the socialist cause, for the implementation of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the sole ideology of the Workers Party.
General Kim Jong Il put all his efforts in the struggle for the reunification, by organzing the inter-Korean summits in 2000 and 2007, which restored the diplomatic relations between the two Koreas, relations that were very hostile beacuse of the military fascist dictatorships in the South. Another achivement of the Workers Party, led by General Kim Jong Il, was the strenghtening of the combat capacity of the Korean People’s Army, the first nuclear test taking place in 2006, striking fear into the US imperialists and their south Korean puppets.
The decease of Comrade Kim Jong Il in December 2011 caused the grief of the Korean people, their sadness knowing no limits at the hearing of the tragic news. Comrade Kim Jong Un, the son of General Kim Jong Il, was elected by the people as the Supreme Leader of the Party and State, being appointed as Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army, Chairman of the State Affairs Comission and General Secretary of the Workers Party of Korea. Under his leadership, the DPRK has affirmed and cotinues to affirm on the world political stage, the Workers Party making continous efforts for the realization of global independence and the reunification of the Korean Peninsula. Under the wise guidance of the Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un, socialism has made dynamic strides, streets like Ryomyong or Mirae being built in a short span of time, despite the imperialist sanctions. The 7th Congress of the WPK (May 2016), elected Comrade Kim Jong Un as the leader of the Party, the Presidium of the Political Bureau being occupied by experienced revolutionaries such as Kim Yong Nam, Choe Ryong Hae and Pak Pong Ju.
Respecting the wish of President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il regarding the reunification, Comrade Kim Jong Un dedicates his all for the cause of reunification. The inter-Korean sumits, held in September and April this year, lead to the improvment of the bilateral relations between the 2 countries, the Panmunjom and Pyongyang Joint Declarations being adopted, which advance the accomplishment of the historical cause of reunification and national independence, for the withdrawal of US imperialist troops from the Korean Peninsula.
In conclusion , we can proudly say that the 73-year long history of the Workers Paty of Korea is a glorious chapter in the 5000-year history of the Korean people, a road of defending the Revolution till death, of anti-imperialist and anti-revisionist fight and of the successfull building of socialism and communism! Long live the Workers Party of Korea! Long live Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un! Long live Juche and Songun! Long live Marxism-Leninism! Long live the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea! Forward to victory, comrades!
