We are celebrating this year's 75th anniversary of the founding of the glorious Workers' Party of Korea (October 10, 1945) in an atmosphere of further proud achievements of the Korean Revolution under the brilliant leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un, but also in an extremely challenging period when socialist Korea bravely faces a series of brutal natural disasters, the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and the continuing pressure, threats and criminal sanctions of the imperialists and their henchmen.
In 75 years, the people of the liberated northern half of Korea, under the wise leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, have achieved admirable and all-round achievements that cannot be described in brief. Twice they literally lifted the country from the rubble and ashes, the first for forty years of occupation by the Japanese fascists and the second time after the criminal war of extermination led by US imperialists, the south Korean puppet clique and their minions.
Korean socialism has provided all people with social gains that capitalism has never been able to provide: free health care, education, housing, full employment, pensions, tax abolition, and more. Above all, however, it raised the cultural masses highly culturally and brought them up in the spirit of socialist collectivism and single-hearted unity so that the whole society could live - in the words of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung - as a great red family.
Thanks to the Juche Idea, Songun politics and great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, Korean socialism resisted all attempts at counter-revolution, overcame the period of the difficult march after the fall of the world socialist system, and was able to secure self-defense with the most powerful weapons. The former impoverished country, which did not have a single university under Japanese rule, became a highly technically advanced nuclear power.
Furious reactionaries are constantly spreading evil rumors about people's Korea, trying to demonize it while infiltrating bourgeois morality and a pernicious consumerist way of life, tearing the party away from the people and ultimately destroying the country's independence and turning it into a colony of imperialism whose citizens would be slaves in their own country. Class enemies are furious at the fact that there has been no opposition and no commotions in people's Korea for decades.
One of the heinous rumors is the claim that support for socialism in Korea is forced and feigned. Only a person who does not know and does not want to see the reality there or intentionally lies about it can claim this. Mass participation in political events can be forced, but not the enormous enthusiasm of the local people and their immense respect and admiration for their homeland, Party and great leaders. The enormous outrage with which the citizens of people's Korea value the doubts of some foreigners about these highest values of their revolution is not accidental.
Korean socialism is deeply international and supports the struggle of progressive people around the world for independence and social progress. An international meeting of communist and workers' parties was to be held in Pyongyang this year, which has unfortunately been thwarted by the coronavirus pandemic. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has devoted friends literally all over the world. Few countries boast such an extensive network of friendship organizations.
However, every Korean patriot and friend of Korea must be outraged by the actions of the south Korean human scum, causing confrontation with compatriots in the north and subordinating to the American occupiers. Provocative military exercises to practice aggressive war, the persecution of progressive ideas and their bearers in the occupied south and the abysmal social disparities of a country full of beggars, homeless people, overworked and unhappy people, immorality, decadent culture, prostitution and suicide are a true picture of capitalist hell on earth. Given the shameful intrigues of the puppet traitors, the enormous lifelong efforts of the great leaders for independent peaceful reunification, encouraged in recent years by the decisive initiative of the Respected Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un, have not yet been fulfilled.
People's Korea and her friends do not pretend that the country does not face any difficulties. On the contrary, the actions of the supreme party and state bodies boldly reveal many shortcomings and strongly call for and lead to their revolutionary correction. This year's mass aid of Pyongyang party officials and members in the flood and typhoon damaged countryside is an example of the strong unity of the Party and the people. Decisive anti-epidemic measures have prevented a catastrophic disaster from spreading coronavirus. While capitalist countries are now paying the price for imposing emergency measures late and inconsistently, tolerating widespread violations and often abolishing them early and irresponsibly, as we can see in the Czech example, Socialist Korea has not slowed down in the fight against this danger since February nor at the cost of long-term closed borders and loss of income from foreign tourism.
The celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the glorious Workers' Party of Korea will have to take place without the participation of foreign friends. Even a large part of foreign celebrations will not be able to take place. All the more we should study the history and ideas of the Korean Revolution and strive to uplift the progressive movement in our own countries and around the world. Korea is not alone and fighting not only for itself, but for the interests of the proletariat of the whole world, to which it shines like a red lighthouse from the Far East.
Long live the glorious Workers' Party of Korea!
Long live the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism!
Long live the Respected Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un
