Speeches and Documents of UK KFA Meeting September 18th

FROM JUCHE ORIENTATED SOCIAL SCIENTISTS OF THE UK
On behalf of Juche social scientists in London , I am happy to attend this
Annual General Meeting of the Korea Friendship Association in London . The
energetic activities of solidarity and friendship organised by the
Association in the past year have shown that it is now an established
feature of internationalist solidarity with Korea here in Britain, an
activity which I know from my own experience in the past is a difficult
task in this, the first colonialist-imperialist country of modern times.
The messages of support received from you meeting show that this is
heartening for friends of Korea everywhere.

Your activities are an encouragement to us who are working to study and
disseminate the Juche idea and the principles of Songun politics.

In solidarity,

THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA (DPRK)


September 9, 1948 - National Foundation Day of the DPRK.
3 September 2003 - Re-election of Kim Jong Il to the chairmanship of the
National Defence Commission of the DPRK
September 22, 1949 - Kim Jong Suk died - heroine of the anti-Japanese
struggle, wife of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, mother of Kim Jong
Il. (Born December 24, 1917.)

  Today, the DPRK (North Korea) celebrates the 62 - anniversary of its
foundation by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. The people of the
DPRK call their country "Kim Il Sung Korea."
   The history of socialist Korea is a story of constant struggle for
independence and an independent course of development, for social and
economic progress. This is a grand story of creation, which began from
zero, from the day of national liberation on August 15, 1945, and
reached at this time, the heights of civilization, culture, education,
high-capacity in the economy, science and defence deterrence, achieved
in extremely difficult conditions of constant confrontation with the
aggressive imperialist world led by the United States. The history of
the DPRK is a history of building a socialist state relying only on
its own strength, which makes a special tribute to the heroic labour
of the people of the DPRK and its leaders - Comrade Kim Il Sung and
Comrade Kim Jong Il. In the DPRK, everything is placed at the service
of the peoples’ masses.
   A highly developed society in all respects can be created only when
the population is of a high-level of education, with a high degree of
availability to each person to enjoy the achievements of human
civilization. The first question on the agenda of the young newly born
country in 1948 became the organization of public education, universal
compulsory education, a network of primary and secondary schools,
colleges and universities. As a result of the tremendous work in this
direction, the country with a total of 12 people with higher education
in August 1945, in a short period of history became a country of
universal literacy, where training covers all segments of the
population of all ages. Education in the DPRK is provided free: being
universal compulsory 11-year, which includes a one-year compulsory
pre-school, 4 years of primary and 6-years of secondary education.
This system was introduced in 1972. Students of colleges and
universities receive a scholarship. Uniforms for school pupils and
students are provided free by the state. (And look how much it costs
to equip the current first-graders at a school here (in Britain  - FB)
and in bourgeois Russia, Ukraine and the other now bourgeois republics
of the former socialist Soviet Union? And do all the children in those
countries have the opportunity to study in school? Education in the
former USSR is now gradually becoming fee-paying, not to mention
studying at university.) In the DPRK state budget, spending on
education is increasing, accounting for a large share of the budget.
Education in the DPRK is now coming to the stage of higher education
for the entire population.
     National cadres, trained by their own strengths, play a leading role
in science, economic management and the state ... The DPRK carefully
relates to its 5-thousand year old country's history, developing
distinctive Korean culture.
   A lot of attention is paid by the state and the Workers’ Party of
Korea (WPK) to public health.
  Recently, in the sphere of health, a network system of health care
based on modern scientific and technological achievements has been
established. Computer diagnosis using fiber optics, ensure timely
diagnosis of disease and disease prevention by skilled people, even in
the most remote areas from the capital of the country.
  Housing issues are also always in the spotlight of the Party and State.
Everywhere there is construction of new housing and renovation of
housing already in use. This concerns not only the capital and cities,
but also the counties.
  The hailed by the Party slogan of the general offensive on the issue of
building a mighty economic power is embodied in the construction of
large hydroelectric power stations (for example, Hichhonskaya HES put
into operation in just a few months instead of the planned 10 years) in
the modernization of production processes based on digital program
control in factories and plants, in the introduction into service of
new giants of the chemical industry (such as vinalon plant in Hamhung),
in applying the new technology of gasification of anthracite in the
production of fertilizers at the Namhysk Chemical Association "Youth",
in developing new technology for converter smelting of cast iron
without the use of coke at the Sonchzhin steel plant. There are many
such examples in today's socialist Korea.
   It always has been and remains the focus of the Party and the state in
providing people with quality food and sturdy household items.
Exhibitions of achievements of the national economy for a wide
selection and implementation of new high quality products are held.
There is continuing large-scale reconstruction of fields in
agriculture for the use of mechanical tillage and crop removal, to
realize new high-yield varieties of crops. Work widely carried out on
the development of fisheries in agricultural cooperatives. The work
goes on everywhere with enthusiasm in the wake of a new great
revolutionary upsurge in the construction of a powerful socialist
nation.
   The state ideology of the DPRK is a communist ideology of Juche, the
state policy - the policy of Songun. The DPRK is developing
intensively.
   In recent years, thanks to the development of domestic science in the
field of space and nuclear technology, the DPRK launched into space
two artificial earth satellites and built a nuclear weapon, becoming a
world's nuclear power - a strong deterrent against any machinations of
imperialism to wage war on the Korean peninsula, and thus - a third
world war .
  On appeal in 2009, by the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, the whole
nation is taking an active part in the general offensive on the
country's transition to the level of a powerful and prosperous power in
2012, the year of the 100 anniversary of the birthday of President Kim
Il Sung.
   Great work all over the country is being carried out directly under
the leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il, re-elected to the highest post
of the DPRK - Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK
– on September 3, 2003. His constant travel around the country, to
factories, agricultural cooperatives, to military units are evidence
of his direct close contact with people, and make him a popular
military leader, firmly and confidently leading his country to the
heights of socialist advanced nations who are not afraid of any
obstacle. It is hard to imagine the DPRK today without Kim Jong Il. He
is the brain of the Party and State, an experienced military
strategist and a gifted practitioner in the most severe battle against
world imperialism, always winning victory in this confrontation
between unequal forces. His work, successes in the development of the
country, and its prestige in the international arena speak of the
authority and majesty of the Leader. Therefore, the people assigning
him the status as - Great - is recognition of his contribution in
leading the state and concern for the welfare of the people.
   We congratulate Kim Jong Il, on the 62-anniversary of the forming of
the DPRK by Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. On this auspicious
occasion, we congratulate the leading staff of the Korean revolution
and the heroic Korean people.
  We also congratulate Kim Jong Il, on the the 7-th anniversary of his
re-election to the highest state post in the DPRK - Chairman of the
National Defence Commission of the DPRK.
   On September 22, 1949 untimely passed away the wife and close friend
of Kim Il Sung, the mother of Kim Jong Il, anti-Japanese heroine Kim
Jong Suk.
We bow our heads before the memory of her and her heroic life, entirely
devoted to her people.

ON FOUNDATION OF DPRK -Dermot Hudson
The DPRK was founded on September 9th due to the unstinting efforts of the
great leader comrade Kim Il Sung,its foundation reflecting the will of the entire Korean people to found an independent state.The DPRK is rooted firmly in the anti Japanese armed struggle of the Korean people led by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung.During this struggle in liberated areas
comrade Kim Il Sung set up peoples revolutionary govermments which enforced land reform,an 8 hour work day and free education .These were
the protype of the DPRK.
In 1945 Korea was liberated and  peoples committees,organs of  popular  power were set up in the north.However the south  of Korea was  occupied by the US imperialists who quickly suppressed the peoples committees.The US imperialists enforced
first direct military rule and then  rule  through their puppet  Syngham  Rhee.In the north of Korea agarian reform was carried out making the peasants masters of the land elimating parastical landlords in the countryside.Many other democratic reforms were carried out.
President Kim Il Sung put forward the line of preventing a national split,of forming a national united front and also to found a Democratic Peoples Republic as a matter of urgency.He called a north -south joint conference in April 1948.This attended by representatives from the north and working people and leftist figures from the south but also some rightist figures from the south who were opposed to the occupation of south Korea by US on partriotic and nationalist grounds.The conference agreed to found the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea and to hold a general election in both the north and south to elect a Supreme Peoples Assembly.The election took place with 99.97 of people in the north voting but in the south due to suppression of the US imperialists and the puppets 77% voted.The Supreme Peoples Assembly convened on September 9th founded the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea and elected comrade Kim Il Sung
as Premier.
            The DPRK only 2 years after its foundation had to face the
invasion of the US imperialists and their followers in 1950.

Socialism was built in the DPRK not in ideal conditions but on the debris
of war and in confrontation with US imperialism. A shining model of socialism came into being.Not only was the war damage healed in a short period and the economy recovered but socialist transformation was carried out at lighting speed with the result that a most advanced people centred socialist system of a Korean style came into being in the land of the 3,000ri.Massive achievements were made in the economy,culture,science and the like. Korean people came to enjoy the benefits of free education,free health care,full employment and even taxation was abolished(which seems like an impossible dream in the West where tax increases all the time).Korea people came to live in a socialist paradise and the people of the world hailed the DPRK as the “model state of socialism”.
Leader Kim Jong Il said
"

Our people, who hold the position of masters of the State and society in
the embrace of the people-centered socialist country, are enjoying a
worthwhile and fulfilling life and performing their responsibilities and
roles as such.

Each of them takes part in the exercise of State power and State administration with equal rights and leads a valuable political life in a particular political organization. The State bears responsibility for the
people’s livelihood; all the people study to their hearts’ content, promote their health and enjoy a revolutionary cultural and recreational life that is full of optimism thanks to the systems of free education and
medical care and various other people-oriented policies.
Now our Party and State, despite the strained conditions in which everything is in short supply, are concentrating all their efforts on
stabilizing and improving the people’s livelihood, with their primary attention focused on it, and stepping up the building of an economically powerful socialist country so as to ensure in the near future that our
people live a rich life with no reason for envying anyone in the world.
The independent and creative life our people are enjoying in the embrace of the Republic is a genuine human life, dignified, worthwhile and happy, which is something unimaginable in a capitalist society."

Today landmark victories such as the production of Juche iron and the production of Juche vinalon have been achieved and the DPRK is racing ahead under the revolutionary banner of self reliance and Songun.
The DPRK has maintained the line of independence through its history.It is not a copy of another country.It lines and policies are based firmly on the realities of Korean and the needs of its people.This is due to  theJuche idea.The DPRK maintains not only socialism but Juche character  and national identity.The DPRK rejected the attempts of the great power chauvinists to impose their will on it.It became well known for pursuing an independent foreign policy.In recent years defying both the US imperialists and their followers and other forces it developed its own nuclear deterrent.It is no exaggeration or play on words to say that the DPRK is the most independent country in the world.

The achievements of the DPRK are due to the revolutionary leadership of the great leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.The DPRK is indeed a Juche
orientated socialist state with invincible might.
LONG LIVE THE 62ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE DPRK

THE HISTORIAL ROOT OF THE WPK-Dermot Hudson


The Workers Party of Korea,founded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung ,will shortly celebrate its the 65th anniversary of its foundation.The
Workers Party of Korea which was founded on October 10th originally as the Communist Party of North Korea by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and
is led today by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il is a Juche type party totally different to both bourgeois parties (such as Tory New Labour,Lib
Dem etc) and also to the former ruling parties of the socialist countries.It is different because it is rooted the popular masses.It was
not formed as a result of a sudden decision but its formation was a process that actually spanned several decades starting with the formation
of the Down With Imperialism Union on October 17th 1926.
          The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il in his historic treatise
"The Workers Party of Korea Is  a Juche Type Revolutionary
Party which inherited the tradition of the DIU"
said
"The formation of the DIU was a historic declaration of a fresh start for the Korean communist movement and the Korean revolution. Now, the Korean communist movement and national-liberation movement bade farewell to the old generation, contaminated by flunkeyism and dogmatism, and welcomed a new age based on the principle of independence. The establishment of the D1U was the beginning of the struggle to found a new type of party, a revolutionary party of the Juche type, which was different from the one which had previously existed in our country. The programme of the DIU became the basis of our Party's Programme, and the principle of independence advanced by this organization became the principle of our Party building and activity; and the communists of the new generation whom the DIU began to train, became the backbone in the establishment of our Party. This shows that our Party grew from the very roots of the DIU

The WPK roots are in the Anti Japanese armed struggle which was waged for 20 years under the command of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. He formed the Down With Imperialism Union as the starting point of the anti
Japanese armed struggle .The DIU is the historical root of the WPK.It was the first communist revolutionary organisation which organically combined
the struggle for national liberation and independence with the struggle for class emancipation.Thus the two were fused together.

The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung strove to build a revolutionary
movement with a new generation of young revolutionary fighters untainted
with factionalism.Both the Korean nationalist movement and communist movement had suffered badly from as well as flunkeyism (that is the tendency to be submissive towards great powers).The Korean Communist Party had been dissolved in 1928 only 3 years after it was formed owing to the incessant factionalism.Even after this tragic event the factionalist persisted in forming their own “Party Reconstruction bureaus”
The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung instead of relying on existing factions which were largely drawn from people of petty bourgoeis,middle
class and ruined gentry origin who indulged in empty talk divorced from the masses ,formed a communist nucleus from revolutionary anti imperialist
youth and went deep down amongst the popular masses.
In Korea revolutionary armed forces were formed before the party was formed.This was a unique line quite unprecedented. as other countries formed the party first and then the armed forces or guerrilla forces.
              Party organisations were formed in the Korean Peoples Revolutionary Army .The Homeland Party Working Committee was established inside Korea and later party organisatrions were established in the Association for Restoration of the Fatherland and the Korean National Liberation Union The process that started with the formation of the Down With Imperialism Union culminated in the formation of the WPK as the CPNK on October 10th 1945 Thus the Workers Party of Korea was forged in the fiery crucible of the anti Japanese armed struggle.Rather than being formed in smoke filled rooms or in a quiet study it was formed on the battlefields of the anti Japanese war.It was formed not from middle class intellectuals or trade union bureaucrats but from revolutionary youth and anti Japanese fighters
and the popular masses.
                               It had to fight against factionalists and opportunists who tried to split the party and disorganise the revolution.
            Because it had such strong historical roots the WPK has been able to maintain a stalwart independence and stick to the revolutionary road of socialism ,the road of Juche come what may.
                              When the great power chauvinists put pressure on the DPRK to join the CMEA the DPRK refused to do so.Instead it pursued the line of economic independence.Khruschov said to the DPRK that they would supply electric power to the DPRK but the great
leader comrade Kim Il Sung refused saying that if they had a difference of opinion with the USSR then the power would be
switched off.When the the CPSU became revisionist in the early 60s and forced other parties to accept modern revisionism
the WPK rejected this the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung said
"Modern revisionism revises Marxism-Leninism and emasculates its revolutionary quintessence under the pretext of a 'changed situation' and
'creative development'. It rejects class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat; it preaches class collaboration and gives up fighting imperialism. Moreover, modern revisionism spread illusions about imperialism and in every way obstructed the revolutionary struggle of the
peoples for social and national liberation"

When socialism in the USSR was frustated owing to the intrigues of modern revisionism  the Workers Party of Korea under the revolutionary leadership
of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il raised high the Red flag of socialism.Many socialist countries
fell victim to capitalist restoration but the DPRK under the WPK's leadership advanced the road of socialism.Leader Kim Jong Il in 1995
declared "Expect No Change from me" rejecting the ideas of reformism and revisonism and the so called "Open Door".
                  The strength and invinciblity of the Workers Party of Korea are based firmly in the proud revolutionary
traditions which the party upholds.Unlike some ruling parties which slandered and smeared or negated their
revolutionary traditions the WPK correctly sees its revolutionary traditions which started with the Down
With Imperialism Union.True to its historical roots and led by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il the WPK
will led to the Korean people to greater victory and glories.
