Having formed on Saturday June 1st 2019, the Glasgow branch of the Juche Idea Study Group of Britain held it's first group study meeting on Wednesday August 21st.
The meeting commenced at 6pm. In attendance were members of KFA Scotland
The first aspect of the Juche Idea to be studied was the philosophical principle that Man is a Social Being.
Using material from KFA USA's Juche Idea Study Course we each took turns to read out parts bit by bit and then discuss each part. We learnt that it was Marxism which clarified man as social being for the first time claiming “man is, in essence, totality of social relations” against the unscientific and reactionary viewpoint that regarded man as a simple material or biological being or mental being. We discussed the fact that Marxism explained that man is a being defined by the social relations but failed to explain what the essential features of man are. It was inevitable for Marxism to have considered social being as the material conditions of human activity and mode of production, attaching decisive significance to them. But it was the Juche idea which raised it as an important philosophical task to explain the essential features of man and for the first time in history gave the most correct answer to it and thus established a perfect philosophical understanding of man.
As part of this section we came across the oft said point of the Juche Idea that man has three essential attributes.
These three essential attributes of man (which no other material thing has) will be the subject matter for the next group study session.
All in all it was a very productive study session and the meeting concluded at 7.50pm
We hope to hold group study sessions fortnightly.
