CONTRIBUTION BY DR DERMOT HUDSON TO E SEMINAR THE GREAT PERSON OF THE CENTURY IN MEMORY OF THE GREAT LEADER COMRADE KIM IL SUNG

ON  the 8th of July it will be 25 years since the great leader President Kim Il Sung left us . Recently it was the 55th anniversary of the start of work of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il at the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the 3rd anniversary of the  election of dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un as the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK . It is time to reflect on the greatness of the 3 great generals of Mt Paektu , President Kim Il Sung , Chairman Kim Jong Il and Marshal  Kim Jong Un,
 President Kim Il Sung passed away on the 8th of July 1994, only a few days after a delegation of our Juche Idea Study Group of England had returned from visiting the DPRK , it was a great shock to us as we revered and still revere the great leader President Kim Il Sung as  the greatest of great leaders. He defeated two imperialism's US and Japanese in one generation thus securing independence for the people so that  they became masters of their own destiny .President Kim Il Sung authored the Juche Idea the acme of progressive ideas of humanity.
 President Kim Il Sung founded the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the homeland of Juche and cradle-land of the people’s bliss. He founded the Workers’ Party of Korea, the supreme general staff of the Korean revolution, the organiser and guide of the Korean people. Also he founded the Korean People’s Army the stalwart sentential of Juche-based socialism.
Throughout his life President Kim Il Sung was a tireless fighter against US imperialism and also against modern revisionism. President Kim Il Sung was a true internationalist who sent internationalist assistance to many lands of the world including Cuba, Egypt, Vietnam and many other countries.
President Kim Il Sung was indeed a giant of the international communist movement and its elder statesman. The late comrade Fidel Castro Ruz supreme leader of the Cuban revolution said of President Kim Il Sung “one of the most eminent, outstanding, heroic leaders of socialism.”
President Kim Il Sung established an advanced socialist system in Korea centred upon the popular masses making Korea into the model country of socialism. He declared that “the people are my God “ and made sure that the people were put first in everything . The DPRK has neither unemployment nor homelessness and everyone enjoys the rights to free health care, free education etc.
The cause of the great leader President Kim Il Sung  , the Juche revolutionary cause was carried forward by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il whose Songun revolutionary leadership spanned some 51 years.
Chairman Kim Jong Il developed in depth and systematised the Juche idea .  In 1982 he authored the immortal treatise  “ON THE JUCHE IDEA “ and a number of other important works on the Juche idea  built up the Workers Party of Korea as the party of the great leader President Kim Il Sung .
 Chairman Kim Jong Il , another general of Mt Paektu started the Songun –based revolutionary leadership  in 1960 and administered  Songun politics thereby thwarting the schemes of the US imperialists to stifle People’s Korea militarily and make its people slaves of modern colonialism.
Saying  “Expect No Change from me” he made sure that Korea held high the Red flag of socialism when socialism collapsed owing to the treachery of the modern revisionists. He rebuffed those who urged the so-called “reform “ and “opening up”
Under the leadership of the great leader Chairman Kim Jong Il the DPRK became a proud independent nuclear power as well as a satellite launching nation.
  The Songun revolutionary cause and Juche revolutionary cause of the great leaders President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il is today continued by the dear respected leader Marshal Kim Jong Un, the Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea and Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who embodies the true Paektu spirit  is the great successor to the Juche revolutionary cause who is identical to the great leaders President Kim Il Sung and Chairman
 Kim Jong Il.
   It is thanks to respected Marshal Kim Jong Un amazing diplomatic skill that a potential war on the Korean peninsula was averted . It seemed impossible that there could be a summit between a US president and the supreme leader of the DPRK but it  happened .Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has also opened up a broad avenue for peace ,prosperity and reunification on the Korean peninsula by boldly holding  not one but 3 inter-Korean summits within the space of 6 months during 2018.
  Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is a true people's leader who fights for the interests of the people. He does not tolerate inefficiency and bureaucracy but implements the people-orientated policy.
 Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has put forward the great self-development first idea  an application of the great Juche idea and the spirit of self-reliance. The self-development first idea is enabling the Korean people to smash the unjust sanctions of the imperialists.
Without a doubt dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is another great leader of the Mt Paektu mould  !
Let us meaningfully celebrate the anniversaries of the great generals of Mt Paektu !
