1st of November 2026

The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) issued a statement on the 32nd anniversary of the publication of "Socialism Is A Science " by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL 

  On the 1st of November it will be 31 years  since the  publication of the work "Socialism Is A Science " by  the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL . It can be said without any hint of exaggeration nor fear of contradiction that this was the most important piece of writing on socialism published in the last part of the 20th century and that the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL was the only leader of a socialist country and leader in the international communist movement to tackle the question of defending and expounding the scientific nature of socialism and its inevitability. Marx, Engels and Lenin had turned socialism from a Utopian dream into a science. However towards during the late 1980s and early 1990s a series of abnormal events took place namely the frustration of socialism in a number of countries owing to the conspiracy and intrigue of the modern revisionists the agents of imperialism with the socialist camp and international communist movement. As the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL wrote that :

"The crumbling of socialism in various countries does not mean the failure of socialism as science but the bankruptcy of opportunism which has corrupted socialism. Although socialism is temporarily experiencing a heartrending setback because of opportunism, it will without fail be revived and win ultimate victory for its scientific accuracy and truth".

This was a timely rebuff to the imperialists and reactionaries who taking advantage of the abnormal developments  made extremely  false and slanderous assertions  that 'socialism had failed' and socialism was in some way "unscientific " or 'infeasible'.

  The work was an unparalleled inspiration to the world revolutionary peoples looking for answer in the difficult international situation caused by the frustration of socialism in some countries . It was a real shot in the arm, a tonic for the international communist movement. The work fully proves and reasserts the scientific nature of socialism .

     Comrade KIM JONG IL  smashes sophistries about 'class co-operation ' advocated by reformists and revisionists  explaining that : 

"The exploiter class and their stooges put forward the "theory of class cooperation" and tried to block the struggle of the exploited working masses against exploitation and oppression. Within the communist movement, reformists and revisionists demanded "class cooperation" and seriously harmed the revolutionary movement, Today, traitors to socialism are also clamoring for a return to capitalism, harboring illusions about capitalism and expecting "aid" and "cooperation" from the imperialists. History shows that to expect "good will" or "class cooperation" from the exploiter class is to make a mess of the revolution."

This was a telling blow to the theories collaborating with imperialism and given up class struggle. In some capitalist countries reformists and traitors advocated  "social partnership "  , compromise with the exploiting class but the teachings of comrade KIM JONG IL in "Socialism In A Science "  demonstrates that such ideas are fallacious . All those who aspire for socialism and who are active in the labour movement should take to heart this teaching of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL and uphold like a red torch. Today under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the DPRK is upholding self-reliance and self-development.

         Moreover in the work "Socialism Is A Science  " the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL showed that socialism is the banner of independence for the popular masses and the means for the popular masses including the working class to realise their independence, to become masters of their destiny. Thus leader KIM JONG IL defined socialism in a fresh way  free from any dogmatic interpretations.

"Socialism Is A Science " proved the accuracy and validity of the socialist idea. It fully demonstrated the scientific nature of socialism and inevitability of its victory . At the time its publication it served a beacon or lighthouse for the socialist ,communists and progressives of the world groping in the darkness caused by the frustration of socialism . "Socialism Is A Science " was the second "Communist Manifesto". It showed the true genius of the  comrade KIM JONG IL as a great theorist and ideologist .

There is no doubt that "Socialism Is A Science " is as relevant and valid today as it was 32 years ago. It charts the way ahead for the world socialist movement . Without hesitation we recommend a deep study of this work to the progressive and revolutionary people of the UK and the world,

31st  of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK that was issued on the 30th of October;

Recently the so-called "Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team"(MSMT) , a body with no legal authority which is nothing to do with the United Nations , issued a statement calling for more sanctions on the DPRK as well as the implementation of the UN Security Council sanctions on the the DPRK and the so-called "denuclearisation " of the DPRK .

The MSMT is made up of countries hostile to the DPRK such as the US and Australia .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry  rightly brands the MSMT statement as " a wanton violation of its sovereignty and vehemently denounces and rejects the U.S. and its vassal forces' ill-intended conspiratorial racket to justify their malicious and depraved hostile policy toward the DPRK under unjust and unreasonable pretexts."

Sanctions will never work on the DPRK . Moreover the DPRK 's nuclear status has been defined by law and is in the Constitution of the DPRK . The DPRK will continue to develop its nuclear forces on a deterrent basis .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry warns those countries that are member states of the MSMT that they will be held responsible for their actions .

We believe that the countries of the West should accept that the reality that the DPRK is a nuclear power and that there is nothing they can do about it ! The US and its lackeys should stop imposing sanctions on the DPRK !

We denounce the latest sanctions of the MSMT on the DPRK and support the press statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry .

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement  of the spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) that was issued on Friday 30th of October;

In the past few days the US and ROK , the enemy states of the DPRK , have escalated tension on the Korean peninsula  in an unprecedented  ways . For example they held the so-called "Freedom Flag " exercise which was launched on the 26th of October ,This exercise is huge in scale and involves army , navy and marines as well as  AWACS and attack drones. The US and ROK have also staged multi-domain exercises .

The US and ROK are looking to launch pre-emptive strikes on the DPRK.

As the spokesman of the DPRK Ministry of National Defence stated "The frequent military moves of the enemy states at the doorstep of the DPRK are increasing the danger of inviting an unexpected armed conflict that will result in catastrophic consequences as the ROK military gangsters are deliberately aggravating the tension in the DPRK-ROK border area"

Clearly the situation on the Korean peninsula is approaching a situation of near war thanks to the continuous and fool hardy provocations. This being the case , the DPRK is perfectly entitled to take counteractions against the US imperialists and ROK puppets.

The DPRK Ministry of National Defence declares that  "Any hostile act of violating the security right of the state is the target of the DPRK's armed forces' just exercise of its sovereign right."

We support the right of the DPRK to defend itself from the aggressive moves of the US and ROK !

Defend People's Korea with No Ifs or Buts !

Press Statement of Spokesman for Foreign Ministry of DPRK

Pyongyang, October 31 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK released the following press statement on October 30:

Recently member states of the multilateral sanctions monitoring team, including the U.S. and Australia, and the EU made public a "joint statement," in which they call for slapping exclusive sanctions on the DPRK, talking about "denuclearization" and implementation of the anti-DPRK UNSC "sanctions resolutions."

This is another case that reminds us that the hostile forces' bad habit of denying the constitutional status of our state and outlawing the normal development of inter-state relations still remains as a deep-rooted poison and malignant tumour undermining the soundness of the international relations.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK brands as a wanton violation of its sovereignty and vehemently denounces and rejects the U.S. and its vassal forces' ill-intended conspiratorial racket to justify their malicious and depraved hostile policy toward the DPRK under unjust and unreasonable pretexts.

Sanctions and pressure may work on the weak but never on us.

The stereotyped sanctions racket of the U.S. and the West can neither influence the position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state nor slacken our hold on the inexhaustibly great power that scares them and will put them into greater fear in the future.

Time proves that the "sanctions" on the DPRK are doomed to go bankrupt just like the irreversible final conclusion - "denuclearization" of the DPRK is theoretically and practically impossible.

Taking this opportunity, we warn once again the member states of the multilateral sanctions monitoring team, including the ROK and Japan, and the EU, which are active in the U.S.-led anti-DPRK sanctions and pressure racket, against their hostile acts, and make it clear that they will be held accountable for such hostile acts.

We will not prevent the U.S. and the West from plunging themselves into a bottomless pitfall in their desperate pursuance of the sanctions that have already proved futile.

The isolated are not us but the U.S. and the Western camp which have lost judgment and courage to admit their strategic failure despite the lack of their means and ability to prove the effectiveness of their sanctions.

The DPRK remains steadfast in its determination to reliably ensure by dint of its powerful strength the protection of its national sovereignty and interests from the sinister hostile moves of the U.S. and its vassal countries, and strive to build the international relations based on justice and impartiality.

The DPRK will never tolerate the hostile forces' evil attempts to curb and hinder the development of normal and mutually beneficial cooperative relations between sovereign states. It will thoroughly defend its national dignity and right to development by responsibly exercising its sovereignty. -0-

Press Statement of Permanent Representative of DPRK to UN

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- Kim Song, permanent representative of the DPRK to the UN, issued the following press statement on October 29:

Despite the unanimous desire and demand of the international community to reform the UN into a genuine multilateral center where justice and impartiality are realized, retrogressive acts are still being committed.

In the venue of the 3rd Committee of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly where the report of the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK was discussed, the "special rapporteur" and the ROK, Japan and other anti-DPRK forces committed serious politically-motivated provocations against the DPRK, malignantly slandering its policy for ensuring genuine human rights and its actual situation.

I express extreme contempt at the repeated malicious practice of encroaching upon the dignity and sovereignty of a sovereign state in the sacred UN arena and denounce and reject it in the strongest tone.

The UN, which regards peace, development and human rights as its core pillar, is now faced with the worst trust crisis and structural crisis unprecedented in its 80-year history. This is mainly attributable to the connivance at the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the specific forces who are abusing the UN organizations and office regulations for their sinister political purposes.

A typical example is the system of the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK, which has existed as a tool of the U.S. and its vassal forces to antagonize the DPRK for over 20 years.

As for the "special rapporteur", he is a political servant who has been active as a "special class hero" in confrontation with the DPRK while frequently flying to the ROK, our invariable hostile state, to meet human scum. So, it is impossible to expect any reasonable thinking and fair judgment from him.

Establishing the public order in society and enhancing the function and role of the law-enforcement organs, irrespective of any country on earth, is regarded as an essential process for ensuring social stability and human rights.

However, the "special rapporteur" deliberately turned away from the lawful course of state management, the most elementary and universal one, and viciously slandered the DPRK's policy of strengthening the discipline and enhancing the role of its law enforcement organs. It highlights again his morbid repugnancy and inveterate hostility toward the DPRK.

In particular, the "special rapporteur" branded the efforts of our state to defend the people's rights to life at the highest level with scientific and preemptive emergency anti-epidemic measures during the world health crisis as a "violation of the right to life". His hysteric behavior clearly proves his identity as a heinous confrontation maniac.

The most serious threat to the right to life comes from the war moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces which unhesitatingly encroach upon the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries in order to realize their exclusive ambition for hegemony.

They openly violate the state sovereignty of other countries on the basis of the jungle law "Strength precisely means justice", target educational, medical and sports facilities with ultra-modern military hardware and wage the hideous unethical war of massacring civilians on a daily basis.

The present miserable reality, in which a weak country becomes a victim of aggression and war, being deprived of its sovereignty and territory and exposed to merciless violation of human rights, intuitively shows the validity and vitality of the policy on ensuring human rights of the DPRK that reliably defends the national security and provides the best human rights to the people by dint of its powerful deterrent for self-defence.

No matter how often those including the "special rapporteur" on human rights issue in the DPRK may resort to human rights farce according to the order of the hostile forces, nothing will change and no false rumour and vituperation can cover up the true picture of the human rights situation in the DPRK where the people have become the masters of everything.

Human rights apart from state sovereignty are nothing but an armchair argument, and human rights are an absolutely inviolable domain for us.

We will never pardon the vicious anti-DPRK "human rights" farce of those seeking to hurt the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses chosen by all the Korean people, but defend the dignity of the state and the rights and interests of the people in a responsible manner. -0-

Press Statement of Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence

Pyongyang, October 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement on Friday:

In recent days, the provocative frenzy of the enemy states aimed to raise the level of war preparations against the DPRK has unprecedentedly escalated the military tension in the Korean peninsula.

The U.S. and the ROK military warmongers launched the provocative large-scale joint air drill Freedom Flag against our state on October 26 by mobilizing huge air forces, amid the large-scale field mobile war drill which is being conducted in a frantic way in the whole area of the ROK every day.

The drill involves fighters of the army, navy and marines, to say nothing of air force, and AWACS, air refueling tanker and attack drones. This clearly shows the difference between the "defensive character" of the drill advocated by them and their military purpose.

In particular, the Third Expedition of the U.S. marines, the advance force for overseas aggression, staged the multi-domain reconnaissance drill for the first time in the ROK, which had been conducted in Hawaii, and openly asserted that its main purpose was to support the anti-DPRK preemptive strike system Kill Chain of the ROK. The fact clearly shows the gravity of the military attempt pursued by the enemy states.

The frequent military moves of the enemy states at the doorstep of the DPRK are increasing the danger of inviting an unexpected armed conflict that will result in catastrophic consequences as the ROK military gangsters are deliberately aggravating the tension in the DPRK-ROK border area.

This clearly proves that the cause of endangering the security environment in the region day by day is none other than the U.S. and the ROK which are seeking to seize the superiority of strength through the expansion of the military alliance system and the joint military drills under various pretexts.

The grave situation, in which the national security environment is being exposed to an intolerable threat by the ever-undisguised close-to-actual war and preemptive attack-type hostile military acts of the U.S. and the ROK, demands the practical application of stronger counteraction forces to deter and remove all forms of dangerous elements.

Under the present situation, in which the enemy states' reckless demonstration of strength is becoming routine, it is an indolent idea to expect that the regional situation will be eased of its own accord with the passage of time, and it is the clear stand of our army that only the ready response to a potential new danger variable is a sure way to raise the national security index.

Any hostile act of violating the security right of the state is the target of the DPRK's armed forces' just exercise of its sovereign right.

There is no limit for the DPRK's option to maintain a strong deterrent posture capable of effectively coping with all threats posed by the military moves of the U.S. and its vassal forces and to increase the control of the situation in the Korean peninsula and the region.

The most obvious confrontational intention is bound to invite the most obvious will to respond to it.

Our armed forces will thoroughly deter threats with force and only act in such manner that the enemy states can understand.

No one can put a veto on the DPRK's legitimate exercise of its right to self-defence. -0-
