The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea issued the following joint statement on the 10th anniversary of the publication of the work  "Let Us Add Eternal Brilliance to comrade Kim Jong Il's Idea and the Achievements of the Songun Revolution " by dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

                         This work, which takes the form of a talk given to the daily press organs of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean People's Army, very clearly analyses and sums up the achievements of the Songun revolution under the leadership of the great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il and charts the way forward along the road of Songun, independence and socialism.
         

                        The work was published on the occasion of the Day of Songun, the 53rd anniversary of the start of the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader generalissimo Kim Jong Il which began with the guidance given to the historic Seoul Guards  Ryu Kyong Su no 105th Tank division of the Korean People's Army. This anniversary is not only acclaimed by the Korean people but by Songun idea followers throughout the whole world.

                      In the work dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un praises the exploits of the great generalissimo's Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in creating a new history of Songun and ushering in the era of Songun , he also clarifies the essence and originality of Songun, explains the history of the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il and calls for putting into effect the instructions of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il. 
          

      Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un in the work points out the Songun idea is a revolutionary idea embodying the anti. imperialist stand. This sums up the Songun Idea in a nutshell and shows why it should not only be studied by the Korean people but the revolutionary people of the world in order to guide them in their anti-imperialist struggle for independence. Songun is intimately bound up with the anti-US, anti-imperialist struggle as dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un says "Regarding the strengthening of the KPA as the most important of affairs in the Songun revolution, he raised the KPA as the buttress, the main force, of our revolution and achieved the historic victory in the grim anti-imperialist, anti-US showdown in defence of the country's security and socialism by training the KPA to be the army of the leader boundlessly faithful to the cause of the WPK (Workers' Party of Korea), to be an invincible revolutionary army"
                        Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un lucidly explains the relationship between Juche and Songun
 "  As an idea enriched and developed in the course of the practical struggle to apply the Juche idea, the Songun idea is a scientific revolutionary theory which makes it possible to satisfy the requirements of the Juche idea in a perfect and comprehensive way.
    The formulation and development of the idea and theory of the Songun revolution by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il further enriched the ideological and theoretical treasure-house of our revolution and greatly increased the appeal and vitality of the Juche idea.

    The Juche idea is the roots of the Songun idea and the latter is a brilliant embodiment of the former.
    Thanks to the Songun idea, the Juche idea could be splendidly applied to the revolutionary practice, shining more brightly as a great guiding ideology which guarantees the victorious advance and accomplishment of the masses' cause of independence."

This is a brilliant exposition of the dialectical correlation between the Juche Idea and Songun idea   which we find greatly inspiring.

                    It is also explained that Songun is absolutely essential in this era for advancing the revolution and socialism  as dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un so correctly says

"   In order for the masses to carve out their destiny and accomplish the cause of socialism amid sharp confrontation with the imperialists and constant danger of war, they must, before anything else, firmly hold up and strengthen the arms of the revolution. It is a serious lesson taught by the history of the world socialist movement that when the arms of the revolution are weak or waver, they can defend neither the destiny of the masses nor socialism"

                      

                           This is so very true. In the past, some socialist countries unilaterally disarmed themselves following the "peaceful co-existence " theory of revisionism or adhered to the concept of "non-ideology" and rejecting the party's leadership of the armed forces rendering them useless so that they could not defend socialism from the intrigues of the imperialists and socialism collapsed like a house of cards. Nowadays dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Unis putting great emphasis on the anti-US, anti-imperialist class education

        

    Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un's  work  "Let Us Add Eternal Brilliance to comrade Kim Jong Il's Idea and the Achievements of the Songun Revolution is an excellent summation of the history of the Songun revolutionary leadership and at the same time a militant declaration that the DPRK will adhere to the idea of Songun forever and never step back from the road that it has chosen. It is more than that , it is a guideline and programme for advancing along the road of the Songun revolutionary leadership in the future.

                      On the occasion of the 10th  anniversary of its publication, we have no hesitation in commending this work to our members and Songun idea followers of the world. A must-read for those who wish to study Songun.
