Tomorrow the 10th of October will be the 75th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers’ Party of Korea . An event that will be splendidly celebrated in People’s Korea , possibly by a big military parade but lets see . I recall visiting the DPRK for the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers Party of Korea five years ago in October 2015 and witnessing the massive military parade along with the torchlight procession of youth and students in Pyongyang . The discipline of the youth and students was incredible . It was also fantastic to watch the 10,000 strong performance on the River Taedong . I also remember visiting the DPRK in 2008 when the WPK celebrated its 63rd anniversary and being in the DPRK in 2019 for the 74th anniversary of the foundation of the WPK.
75 years ago President KIM IL SUNG founded the Workers Party of Korea(WPK) which became the organiser and guide of the Korean people and the supreme general staff of the Korean revolution .It has led seven decades of successful socialist construction in People's Korea. It is rooted firmly in the revolutionary traditions of the Down With Imperialism Union and the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.
The Korean people under the banner of the red flag of the WPK built an advanced socialist system. Korea was transformed from being once a colony into a powerful socialist country of Juche , a country that is independent, self- sufficient and self- reliant in defence. The DPRK became an invincible socialist military power.
The WPK is the mother party that takes care of people's lives. It follows the people-orientated policy .Free education and free health care were introduced, long ago, indeed the free health system was introduced in the flames of war in 1953. Korean people receive great social benefits such as free housing and taxation was abolished in 1974. Now under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the WPK is pushing forward all manner of projects to improve living standards.
Visiting the DPRK several times since 2012 I have seen with my eyes the fast changing reality of the People’s Korea led by the WPK and Marshal KIM JONG UN . Whole new streets have appeared such as Changjon Street, Mirae Scientists Street and Ryomyong Street . I can remember visiting the DPRK in April 2016 and Ryomyong Street was just bare earth with lorries moving around . One year later I came back in April 2017 a whole new street the size of a town or a new city had appeared . We were told that Professor Ri Mu Il who had been our guide in 2012 had moved into Ryomyong Street . Also new health care facilities such as the Okryu Children's Hospital and the Ryugyong Ophthalmic Hospital were constructed , both of which I have visited . As we speak the construction of the new Pyongyang General Hospital is nearing completion.
Thus the DPRK is becoming a people's paradise, the envy of the world people and the model that the world revolutionary people dream can only dream of.
The WPK under the guidance of the great leaders comrades KIM IL SUNG, KIM JONG IL and respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has united the people solidly around itself, achieved single-hearted and single-minded unity the like of which is not seen anywhere else in the world. The WPK is distinguished from other communist parties in that its symbol is the hammer representing workers , a sickle representing the peasants or working farmers and a writing brush representing intellectuals. When visiting the Party foundation monument in Pyongyang the guide explained to us that the writing brush is higher than the sickle and hammer symbolising the important role of intellectuals . It can be said that the WPK is a true mass party representing the interests of all the working people , not an elite.
The WPK has achieved total oneness of ideology , a unique feat in the international communist movement. The leader , party , army and people form an integral harmonious whole .No other country in the world knows such unity and amity . This is due to the outstanding leadership of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG and his Juche-orientated theories on party building. This has splendidly been carried forward by the great leader comrade KIM JONG Il who has built up the WPK as the party of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG. Now the dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has ensured that the WPK is and will always be the party of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG and general KIM JONG IL.
The Workers' Party of Korea has staunchly fought against modern revisionism , opportunism , flunkeyism ,dogmatism and factionalism . It has upheld the red flag of socialism opposing the attempts of the modern revisionists, renegades and imperialists to stifle socialism. Under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the WPK smashed the attempt of the counter-revolutionary factional clique in December 2013. The WPK has always stressed ideology and put ideological work ahead of other work , this a secret of the success of the WPK compared to other ruling parties in the socialist camp which tended to make light of ideological work .
The WPK has always maintained revolutionary and class principles , holding high the red flag of socialism even when others threw it down. It was the WPK which put forward the Pyongyang Declaration in April 1992 ‘ Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism ‘ which rallied the revolutionary and progressive parties to the cause of socialism . In Britain the Pyongyang Declaration was signed by the New Communist Party , Communist Party of Britain , Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain Marxist-Leninist , Communist Organisation of Britain and Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist.
Today many revolutionary parties and people look up to the WPK as a model of party building . The WPK has withstood the tests of time and is a most durable party that guides the building of socialism in Korea and is true to its basic principles.
Today the Korean people under the banner of self-reliance are breaking through many obstacles including the harsh sanctions of the imperialists . Only victory and glory is in store for the Korean people led by the great Workers' Party of Korea guided by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.
LONG LIVE THE WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA!
LONG LIVE SELF-RELIANCE !
LONG LIVE THE GREAT KIMILSUNGISM-KIMJONGILISM !
LONG LIVE DEAR RESPECTED MARSHAL KIM JONG UN!
