THIS is a significant year for the Korean people and world progressives because on the 10th of October the Workers’ Party of Korea will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its foundation by the great leader President KIM IL SUNG , the sun of Juche .It is also a year in which the Korean people celebrate the 75th anniversary of liberation from Japanese imperialist rule and the 60th anniversary of the start of the Songun-based revolutionary leadership.
Throughout its history the Workers' Party of Korea has not only blazed a trail of intense struggle for independence that was marked by a many glorious victories.Throughout its existence it has been led and guided by the great leaders comrade KIM IL SUNG , KIM JONG IL and the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN.
The basis of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK ) is independence and it is guided by the Juche idea . The WPK was founded independently in a different way to the other communist and workers parties . The foundation of the WPK was a process rather than a single act.
The roots of the WPK are in the anti-Japanese revolutionary armed struggle led by the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG. The first communist revolutionary organisation in Korea was the Down with Imperialism Union which the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG established with a small but determined band of followers , young people who were untainted by the muddy currents of factionalism, flunkeyism(the ideology of fawning on big powers and other outside forces) and opportunism . The DIU organically combined the tasks of class and national liberation.
Comrade KIM IL SUNG rallied the adherents of the DIU with the following words, “Irreconcilable contradictions exist between the imperialists and people in the colonies and these contradictions are sharpening with the passage of time. Because these contradictions are antagonistic they cannot be settled by any kind of 'compromise ' and will only be solved when imperialism is overthrown..The formation of the Down with Imperialism Union is a declaration of a decisive to destroy Japanese imperialism and of confrontation with imperialism worldwide”.
The first party organisation , the Society For Rallying Comrades was formed on the 3rd of July 1930 .Later a Homeland Party Working Committee came into being. Party organisations were also formed within the Association For the Restoration of the Fatherland ( an anti-imperialist united front body set up in 1936) and the Korean National Liberation Union ( a lower level organisation of the Association for the Restoration of the Fatherland organised within the Korean homeland) . The long and arduous road of the struggle to found the party finally came to a conclusion on the 10th of October 1945 when the WPK was founded as the Communist Party of north Korea.
The WPK represents the workers,peasants and working intellectuals- it includes the writing bush in its party symbol to represent the intellectuals in addition to hammer for the industrial workers and sickle for farm workers. The WPK has always strived to unite the popular masses around it. Today the DPRK led by the WPK under the guidance of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is known as the most stable , united and harmonious society in the world.The people and the party,the WPK,are welded into a unbreakable steel-like unity.People are united around the leader and party. In fact the leader, party and masses form a trinity.
The WPK led by President KIM IL SUNG , Chairman KIM JONG IL and Marshal KIM JONG has always maintained independence . It has thwarted all attempts to dominate and enslave the Korean people no matter which direction these came . The WPK led the Korean people to build a people-centred socialist country of Juche defying the sanctions and the blockades of the imperialists . At the same time the WPK defeated the moves of the big-power chauvinists to put pressure on the DPRK . Those who wanted to follow and imitate big countries were given no room in the WPK as President KIM IL SUNG firmly established Juche.
Independent and Juche-orientated lines on the building of socialism were put forward and put into effect by the WPK under the leadership of President KIM IL SUNG . The DPRK carried out socialist transformation in its own unique way not copying other countries.
The DPRK did not bow down and join the CMEA of the big-power chauvinists and revisionists but pursued the audacious and bold line of building an independent national economy based on self-reliance. Later comrade KIM JONG IL proclaimed ‘ Let Us Live our own way!“
Thanks to the line of economic independence and self-reliance of the WPK the Korean people not only defied the sanctions of the imperialists but built Juche socialism at a stunning rate ; for example in the late 1950s the growth in industrial output value hit 40 per cent in one year . Under the leadership of the WPK an advanced socialist system centred on the popular masses was created . The Korean people enjoy the rights to work , to free education , to free medical care , to housing and to rest. Taxation was abolished in 1974, a socialist paradise indeed!
The WPK has implemented the line of self-reliance in defence and the idea of Songun as a result the DPRK is a socialist military power of Juche , a nuclear power and a member of the ICBM club . In the past Korea could not defend itself from the avaricious Japanese imperialists because it only had primitive rifles but now it has its own nukes and ICBMs.
Under the leadership of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the WPK is holding fast to the line of independence and self-reliance . The DPRK rejected the so-called ‘Libyan model’ of one-sided unilateral nuclear disarmament . They have not given up a single nuke or ICBM . The Korean people are rallying around supreme leader Marshal KIM JONG UN and the WPK building socialism in the spirit of self-reliance smashing the sanctions of the US imperialist with new feats of labour each , making new records each day so that whole new streets and even new cities rise up .Final victory belongs to the Korean people under the leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea guided by dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN .
LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS WORKERS PARTY OF KOREA
GLORY TO ERA OF THE WORKERS PARTY OF KOREA!
LONG LIVE RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN!
