From the Stoke On Branch of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea- a review of the work of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL "On The Reactionary Nature Of Modern Revisionism And Our Party's Revolutionary Stand Against Revisionism"

                                                         

Having studied "On The Reactionary Nature Of Modern Revisionism And Our Party's Revolutionary Stand Against Revisionism"(Talk to Students at Kim IL Sung University, December 29th, 1962 - Vol 1 Selected Works Kim Jong IL), one can see the creative but principled stand taken against the onset of modern revisionism in the early 1960s by the WPK. The Workers' Party of Korea never took a dogmatic or leftist sectarian stance in regrard to modern revisionism but constantly struggled against the revisionists and kept their influence out of the internal structure of the WPK. Kim Jong IL in this work does analyse the history of old-style revisionism and the evolution of modern revisionism, takes apart the revisionist assertions about the "all people party" and "the state of all the people" The work looks at the at how the rejection by modern revisionism of proletarian dictatorship was extremely harmful to the cause of socialism. Kim Jong IL addresses the issues of how "peaceful coexistence" was made by the Modern Revisionists into the general line of some socialist countries, did not take into consideration the reality of the continual aggressive nature o imperialism. In this talk of Kim Jong IL the need is expressed to combat the ideological influence of modern revisionism in culture and the arts. Overall, the work demonstrates the Juche approach to the struggle against revisionism.
