Kim Jong Un Terms Whole Course of Korean Revolution History of Ideological Campaign

 Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- Supreme leader

Kim Jong Un in his speech made at the 8th Conference of Ideological Workers of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) stressed that the one and only weapon for the Korean revolution that made its start empty-handed was a great revolutionary ideology.
    Recalling that the revolutionaries of Korea rallied comrades and obtained weapons on the strength of the ideology; and on its strength they defeated imperialist powers and built a prospering socialism, he continued:
    The whole course of the Korean revolution can be called a history of ideological work to give fullest play to the might of the truth of the revolutionary ideology of President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il.
    In our revolution ideological work has always been the most important work, and a great tradition of ideological work was created in its first days.
    Thanks to the wise leadership of the President and the General, who gave definite priority to ideological work and resolved all problems by enlisting the mental strength of the masses of the people in the whole course of their leadership of the Korean revolution, the revolution could etch only victory in its flag although it blazed the trail of history. By bringing about high tides in the mental strength of the service personnel and people, our Party has turn the trials decisive of the victory and defeat of the revolution and its advance and setback into great upswings of the revolution, and our revolution has achieved a great success whenever an upswing was effected in ideological work.
    The Third Conference of Ideological Workers of the WPK, which was held 40 years ago and where the great General proclaimed modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism as the maximum programme of our Party, is of special importance in the history of our Party that has opened a pivotal phase of the revolution on the strength of ideology.
    That the General defined Kimilsungism as the guiding ideology of our Party and proclaimed modeling the whole society on that ideology as the maximum programme of our Party was a political event that clearly indicated the road for bringing the final victory of the Korean revolution closer and roused all the service personnel and people to achieving it.
    The historic advance for modeling the whole society on Kimilsungism gave birth to a powerful political General Staff that has achieved oneness in ideology and leadership for the first time in the history of building a revolutionary party, to invincible revolutionary armed forces that march with the red flag of the Workers’ Party as its first standard and to militant ranks united single-heartedly.
    History clearly shows how a powerful country, which is independent, self-sufficient and self-reliant in national defence, has been built on this land where worship of big countries and dogmatism were rooted deep and a socialist fortress created, which remains unperturbed in the face of worldwide political upheaval and the imperialists’ vicious moves for isolation and suffocation. -0-
