The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK and the Juche Idea Study Group of England today issued a joint statement on the occasion the 85th anniversary of the foundation of the Down -With Imperialism Union by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung sun of Juche.

It is 85 years since the revolutionary red banner of Juche was first raised in Korea by the formation of the Down-With Imperialism Union (TD) . The DIU was the first genuine communist revolutionary organisation in Korea The formation of the DIU marked a clean break with the stale dogmas of factionalism and flunkeyism , it was a decisive leap forward in the task of building a revolutionary working-class party in Korea. The formation of the DIU by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung heralded the dawn of a new era in Korea and the world.

The DIU proudly proclaimed its aims were to win independence and liberation for Korea, to carry out the socialist revolution in Korea, to build socialism and communism in Korea and to carry out the world revolution. Thus for the first time in history the lines of national liberation and socialist revolution were combined. Moreover the relationship between the national tasks of the working class and its international tasks was affirmed. Both the line of combing national liberation with socialism and the line of inter-relating the national and international tasks of the
struggle were a prototype form of the Juche idea of the great leader comrade
Kim Il Sung

The DIU was founded on the basis of revolutionary youth and students . The great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had prepared the ground for the formation of the DIU by leading many struggles amongst the youth and students including a strike of school students against reactionary teachers. These struggles fostered core elements of the revolution. It was not formed from the factionalists who indulged in empty talk and who were divorced from the popular masses as they were drawn from the middle class , bourgeoisie and aristocracy. The DIU fought for the revolution on the basis of independence.
The DIU was the foundation stone of the Workers' Party of Korea. The idea and lines of the Down-Imperialism Union were brilliantly implemented and carried forward by the Workers' Party of Korea founded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and led today by the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il . The WPK inherits the traditions of the DIU. Today the WPK, under the Songun revolutionary leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il, based on Juche maintains solid independence in its lines . It is based solidly on the popular masses and has achieved unity and deep amity of the Party and people which no force however strong can break. The WPK true to the tradition of the DIU is fighting for the victory of socialism and communism and also for the world revolution, under the brilliant banner of making the whole world independent.
We Juche idea and Songun idea followers salute the the 85th anniversary of the foundation of the Down-Imperialism Union , the touchstone of the Juche revolution.
