Against Dogmatism and Revisionism -from the Stoke On Trent branch of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea

Although I do favour the concept of recycling for environmental reasons, however in the fields of ideology regurgitating the same dogmas can be counter-productive and stultifying. There are those with closed minds and approaches who are hooked to the dogmatic thinking of the 1950s, and dismiss all ideological innovation out of hand. More in the case of the Juche Idea, where just the mention of this thought leads these leftists into a total denial of any possible merit of this ideology. These elements dismiss any viability of the Juche Idea because it has originated on the Asian continent, thus displaying their innate Euro-centrism and chauvinism (whatever Marxist credentials these individuals proclaimed). Another trope or two these critics of Juche bang on about is the "North Korean Personality Cult", "North Korean philosophical idealism" etcetera. A favourite tactic used by those on the Left who want to dismiss any relevance of the Juche Idea is to take various quotations and texts from the historical works of the DPRK leaders out of context and distort their original meaning aswell as using material from both bourgeois academia and the tabloid press so as to allegedly back up their assertions. On many issues and not just Juche, Modern Revisionism, Dogmatism and Ultra-Leftism have alot in common and act as twins in their dispute with anything fresh and revolutionary. Let us have more honest debates and investigations in regard to Juche and its place in the thought of the International Proletariat without any prejudice and distortions.
