Speech on the 88th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army by Lucas Rubio Chairman, Brazilian Center for the Study of Songun Politics



Dear comrades of the KFA-UK and other parts of the world,

Once again, I begin my brief intervention at this online meeting by thanking the respected comrade Dr. Dermot Hudson for inviting me.

Today marks the 88th anniversary of the founding of the glorious Korean People's Revolutionary Army, a historic date that marked a turning point in Korea's destiny and was the seed of the country's liberation years later.

Korean People's Revolutionary Army was Korea's first Juche and Songun-type armed force, which placed on the army's hands the revolutionary mission of destroying Japanese imperialism and building socialism in free Korea.

General KIM IL SUNG is the great founding father of these formidable armed forces and is the consecrated military genius who led entire armies across mountains under snowstorms in freezing temperatures. Imagine how sacrificing and, at the same time, courageous, these scenes should have been.

In 1945, after fierce decades-long battles with the Japanese occupying forces, the KPRA declared its victory and liberated Korea and formalized itself as the Korean People's Army along with the founding of the Republic in 1948. Immediately after the country's liberation in 1950 , faced again a new hostile aggressive force: the US forces. And again, in 1953, he proved the historical truth of Juche and Songun by defeating the most terrible nuclear forces that for years destroyed Korea.

What was seen after the two victorious wars was a People's Army that walked alongside the people and actively participated in the socialist construction, especially in the difficult years of the Arduous March when, under the command of the great General KIM JONG IL, frustrated the US movements of the war and developed unmatched nuclear military power in People's Korea.

That part of the story, I think everyone knows. But that day, the main lesson about the founding of the People's Army remains: armed struggle is the only way to achieve a real change in the conditions that oppress the people! Even before having a Party or State, the Korean people had an Army that within them powerfully developed a revolutionary ideology and organization that for more than 80 years has guaranteed consecutive victories for the Korean people.

Unlike Western countries, such as my Brazil, where the Army serves as a support and maintenance force for the exploitation of the bourgeois class and which points its weapons at the people themselves, in Korea commanded by Supreme Leader KIM JONG UN, the Army is composed of the Korea's most valuable sons and daughters and works alongside society to build a powerful and free state.

Glories to the 88th anniversary of the birth of the almighty Korean People's Revolutionary Army!
Long live the Great General KIM IL SUNG, genial founder of the KPRA!
Long live the Great General KIM JONG IL, KPA modernizer!
Long live the Great Marshal KIM JONG UN, KPA booster!
