Juche for independent development and against dogmatism

Reading the biography of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il I deeply reflected on a couple of facts . Firstly, I read how the anti-party counter-revolutionary factionalists in the 1950s railed against the line of the independent national economy. These arguments are still echoed by anti DPRK forces today including some on the so-called. What did these arguments revolve around ? the idea that the DPRK should have exported all the fruit and coal in return for machines . This would have left the DPRK with nothing but also would have meant a brake on the development of science and technology as its development would have been unnecessary if the DPRK had not developed heavy industry. Of course Juche and self reliance are misunderstood by some as ruling out co-operation and exchange , however this is true self-reliance means the maximization of national resources and potentials. Secondly , leader Kim Jong Il was involved in a debate at higher middle school (6th form ) about the nature of the peoples government in Korea . Some wanted to fit into the pattern of the Paris Commune or Soviets . They thought the question was when the people's government would become a dictatorship of the proletariat. Kim Jong Il answered that the people's government belonged to the category of the dictatorship of the proletariat . This is highly relevant as we Juche idea followers face not only attacks from the Establishment, Rightists and revisionists but also some dogmatists who claim to uphold pure "Marxism-Leninism " or " Marxism -Leninism -Stalinism " . Some use the classics of Marxism -Leninism as a stick to beat Juche with claiming "it does not say such and such in whatever work of Marx or Stalin " However such criticism of Juche is reactionary as it is like saying nuclear power cannot be developed because it is cannot be found in a textbook about steam engineering.
