London 23rd of August

Today the ASSPUK and JISGE issued a joint statement saluting the 50th anniversary of the start of the Songun revolutionary leadership,a landmark event in the history of the Songun revolution and the history of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.
The Songun revolutionary leadership started on the 25th of August when the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il made an inspection of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 Guards Tank Division of the Korean People’s Army.This KPA unit itself had profound historical significance as was named after an anti Japanese revolutionary fighter who had also been a divisional commander in the Fatherland Liberation War.The tank divsion had liberated Seoul in the Fatherland Liberation War breaking throught the barrier of national division imposed by the US imperialists.
The guidance,of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il to Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105 tank division epitimotised the revolutionary Songun idea and spirit of putting military affairs first and politics second. Moreover it put forward the concept of the army as the pillar of the revolution.This brilliantly encapsulated the whole experience of the Korean revolution which began and advanced by the force of arms.
Leader Kim Jong Il strengthened the KPA ideologically and political as well increasing its combat strength.He ensured the KPA was modelled on the monolithic ideology of Juche and was an army of the leader.
The KPA and Korean people under the Songun revolutionary leadership achieving great feat in defending the country from the US imperialists.The KPA captured the USS Pueblo and brought down the US imperialist aggressor spy plane the EC121.They resolutely countered the US imperialist provocation at Panmumjom in 1976 and intercepted the Yankee helicopter that had intruded into DPRK airspace in 1994.
Thanks to the inspired Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il,fearless commander of Mt Paektu the DPRK faced down the US in the first and second 'nuclear crisis' in which the US imperialists and international reactionaries tried to stifle Korean style people centred socialism.
The brilliant Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il has energised the Korean revolution and building of socialism in the DPRK opening a new era of Juche revolution.
Now under the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il a great upsurge in self reliant socialist construction is taking place with the succesful production of Juche vinalon and Juche iron and other great achievements.
The Songun revolutionary leadership is leading the Korean revolution and DPRK forward to victory and is carrying forward the Juche revolutionary cause pioneered by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung.

The Songun idea and Songun politics are the great revolutionary ideas of the 21st century that inspire the world revolutionary anti imperialist struggle.
The JISGE and ASSPUK call upon all progressives to study and disseminate the Songun idea and Songun politics more vigorously than ever before.
