he British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea(BGSJI) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK( KFA UK) and the British Solidarity committee for Peace and Reunification(BSCPRKP) issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the slogan "Let Us Live Our Way " put forward by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il:
On the 25th of December 1978 in his speech titled "LET US INCREASE THE PARTY'S FIGHTING EFFICIENCY AND BRING ABOUT A FRESH TURN IN THE BUILDING OF SOCIALISM”, comrade Kim Jong Il put forward the slogan "Let Us Live Our Own Way as the strategic line of the Korean revolution.
The slogan "Let Us Live Our Own Way !" was a striking and bold slogan , a militant revolutionary slogan that declared Korea's will to live its own way free from imperialism. It was an expression of the Juche-based faith of the DPRK guided by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung to independently and in the spirit of self-reliance construct socialism without being fettered by big power -chauvinism or US imperialism . At the time when the slogan was put forward, the DPRK faced intense pressure from the modern revisionists and opportunists as well the sanctions and blockades of the US imperialists and the machinations of the south Korean puppets. In order to counter these manifold attempts to derail the building of socialism a high degree of self-reliance was required. It was the demand of the times. As the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il pointed out
"It is only when one displays a great revolutionary spirit of self-reliance that one can have faith in one's own strength, exploit the internal resources of one's country to the maximum and conduct the revolution and construction with success. Experience shows that only when one gives full play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance can one surmount every manner of difficulty and ordeal.
Even though the anti-Japanese guerrillas received no assistance from a regular army or from a state in the past, they, by displaying to a high degree the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance, overcame manifold difficulties and hardships, defeated the brigandish Japanese imperialists and accomplished the noble cause of national liberation. In the period after the Korean War our party members and working people rehabilitated the devastated economy by our efforts and transformed our country into a powerful socialist industrial state in a short span of time.
The situation we are in today demands that we display to a high degree the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance. At present no country is willing to help another nor is any country in a position to help another, even should she want to".
The adoption of "Let Us Live Our Own Way " dealt a powerful blow to the imperialists and modern revisionists , it was also a rejection of "reform " and "opening up .
The slogan " Let Us Live Our Own Way " is more than a mere simple slogan but represents the strategic line of the DPRK and the Korean revolution . Under the slogan of "Let Us Live Our Own Way "he Korean people stepped up socialist construction under the banner of Juche and built a socialist country of Juche , independent , self-sufficient and self-defensive . The DPRK became a proud strategic state and has a Juche-based, independent ,self-reliant national economy.

Today the slogan is just a relevant as it was in 1978 in fact more so as many countries in the world do not live their own way but are crushed under the weight of globalisation , 'coca-colaisation ' cultural imperialism and the intervention of US imperialism .Indeed "Let Us Live our own way " should be the watchword for anti-imperialists and anti-globalists !
The slogan of Let Us Live Our Own Way " has proved its correctness in practice ; the DPRK has closed its borders for nearly 4 years and yet survived when some countries would not last 2 or 3 days with their borders closed ..
