THE
WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA IS A JUCHE-TYPE
REVOLUTIONARY PARTY
WHICH
INHERITED THE GLORIOUS TRADITION OF THE
DIU
October
17, 1982
Today,
October 17, is the 56th anniversary of the
formation of the Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU) by the great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
With the formation of the
DIU our
people's revolutionary struggle embarked on a
new road of development and our Party began to
strike its glorious roots.
Our Party has traversed
the glorious course of struggle for over half
a century since it took root with the
formation of the DIU; and on this road it has
scored many of the most brilliant achievements
of the century, and has grown and strengthened
as a powerful revolutionary party, united
rock-firm and equipped with a wealth of
experience.
By leading the people our
Party achieved national independence and
carried out democratic and socialist
revolutions, and through tremendous
construction work, it radically changed the
appearance of the country and built a "model
socialist state" which strikes the world's
people with admiration. In the hard-fought
struggle against US
imperialist invasion, our Party led the people
to victory and preserved the country and the
revolution with credit.
For its immortal exploits
on behalf of the country and the people, the
age and history, our Party enjoys the
unreserved support and confidence of the
entire Korean people.
With the monolithic
ideological system firmly established
throughout, our Party has been strengthened
more than ever before, both organizationally
and ideologically, as the tested General Staff
of the revolution and, convinced of the
justness of its cause and certain of victory,
it is successfully guiding the cause of
modelling the whole of society on the Juche
idea.
1
Ours is a glorious party
with a long history, a revolutionary party
which has carved out a new trail for progress.
A working-class party is
the General Staff of the revolution and the
organizer of all victories. Without party
guidance, the working class and the masses
cannot win the revolutionary battle. The
Korean revolution which had suffered
difficulties in the early communist movement,
badly needed a militant party which would be
able to lead the revolution to victory,
overcoming all obstacles. This urgent
requirement of the Korean revolution was
admirably fulfilled when the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung came to lead the
revolution.
Having assumed the role
of helmsman of the Korean revolution in the
grimmest days of Japanese imperialist rule,
the great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung, with
a view to exploring a new revolutionary road,
conceived a plan to form a revolutionary
vanguard organization which, under a correct
programme, would carry out the anti-Japanese
national-liberation struggle relying on the
masses and, in 1926, he formed the DIU.
The formation of the DIU was a historic
declaration of a fresh start for the Korean
communist movement and the Korean revolution.
Now, the Korean communist movement and
national-liberation movement bade farewell to
the old generation, contaminated by flunkeyism
and dogmatism, and welcomed a new age based on
the principle of independence. The
establishment of the D1U was the beginning of
the struggle to found a new type of party, a
revolutionary party of the Juche type, which
was different from the one which had
previously existed in our country. The
programme of the DIU became the basis of our
Party's Programme, and the principle of
independence advanced by this organization
became the principle of our Party building and
activity; and the communists of the new
generation whom the DIU
began to train, became the backbone in the
establishment of our Party. This shows that
our Party grew from the very roots of the DIU.
The struggle to build a
revolutionary party which began with the DIU, took on a new
impetus as a result of the formation of the
Young Communist League of Korea by the great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung. The YCLK
was not just a youth organization. Since a new
generation was appearing in the communist
movement in our country at that time, it was a
revolutionary vanguard organization which was
given the task of exploring the road for the
Korean revolution and which gave unified
guidance to many anti-Japanese mass
organizations.
Because the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung formed the DIU and
the YCLK in the second half of the 1920's and
led our revolution, the defects of the early
communist movement were remedied, many
communists of the new generation matured and
the founding of a revolutionary party in our
country became the first priority.
At the Kalun Meeting held
in 1930, the great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung set forth the Juche-inspired line
of the Korean revolution and explained a
unique way of founding a revolutionary party.
The most important aspect
of this policy put forward at this meeting was
to establish a party independently.
Maintaining independence
is a fundamental need of the communist
movement. This movement is a struggle to
accomplish the independence of the popular
masses in each country, and it is the
communists and the people of the country
themselves who are the ones who carry it out,
the masters of this struggle. Founding a
working-class party in each country is also a
task which the communists of the country
should necessarily carry out by their own
efforts as the masters.
The policy of founding
the party independently also accorded with the
requirement of the international communist
movement which had entered a new phase of
development. Now that the revolutionary
struggles of the working class and masses were
being carried on extensively and in a diverse
way on a worldwide scale, the revolution in
each country would not be advanced correctly
unless the communists of that country
conducted it responsibly and independently.
This demanded that party founding in each
country should also be undertaken by the
communists of the country through their
independent efforts and on their own
responsibility.
Another important aspect
of the party founding policy set forth at the
Kalun Meeting was to form grassroots party
organizations first and found the party by
means of expanding and strengthening them and
make preparations for party founding in close
combination with the anti-Japanese struggle.
Previously, it had been
usual for a revolutionary working-class party
to be found by uniting communist groups which
were operating in isolation or as the result
of a revolutionary faction seceding from a
social democratic party. However, it was
impossible to follow this course in the
circumstances in our country. At the time
those who called themselves communists were
mostly factionalist-flunkeys who looked to
foreigners and indulged in factional strife to
the ruin of the party. It would be utterly
impossible to establish a revolutionary party
by "reconstructing" the party which had
already been dissolved or by relying on the
old generation who were infected with
factionalist-flunkeyism.
In order to inaugurate a
revolutionary party, it was necessary to break
away from the old party and the old
generation, polluted with factionalism and
flunkeyism, develop new communists of the new
generation, achieve the unity of ideology and
purpose of the communist ranks and strengthen
their ties with the masses. Only by setting up
grassroots party organizations first and then
continually expanding and strengthening them,
would it be possible to train communists of
the new generation from amongst the workers
and peasants quickly through organizational
and ideological life and practical struggle,
and guarantee the unity of ideology, purpose
and action and the purity of the communist
ranks and consolidate the party's mass
foundation. Also, only by making preparations
for party founding in close combination with
the struggle against Japanese imperialism,
would it be possible to effectively develop
communist nuclei who were tried and tested
through struggle, and build up the party as a
militant force with great fighting strength.
The party founding
policy proposed at the Kalun Meeting was a
correct one which reflected the real needs of
the international communist movement and our
country.
In accordance with this
policy put forward by the great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung, the work to set up party
organizations was actively pursued after the
Kalun Meeting.
In the early July of 1930
in Kalun, Comrade Kim Il Sung formed
the first party organization with young
communists of the new generation. This was the
first party organization governed by the Juche
idea, a glorious party organization which was
the origin of our Party.
With this first party
organization as the parent body, Comrade Kim
Il Sung expanded party organizations in
different areas.
Thanks to his dynamic
guidance and activity, a party organization
was established in the area of Onsong with
activists of revolutionary organizations at
the beginning of October 1930, and within a
short time many grassroots party organizations
appeared within the armed ranks and in east
Manchuria on the Tuman River
and in the area along the northern border.
While expanding and
strengthening grassroots party organizations,
work was actively stepped up to establish a
system of guidance for party organizations
aimed at providing them with unified
leadership. As a result the system of guidance
of party organizations from county party
committees to party cells in villages was
established. In the Anti-Japanese People's
Guerrilla Army party committees were formed
and active in the regiments, party cells in
the companies and party sub-teams in platoons.
In particular, as the
Anti-Japanese People's Guerrilla Army was
reorganized into the Korean People's
Revolutionary Army in March 1934, radical
measures were taken by which the Party
Committee of the KPRA was formed to supervise
and control not only party organizations at
different levels within the units, but local
party organizations as well.
The formation of the KPRA
Party Committee was an event of great
importance to the Korean communist movement
and the building of our Party. It was now
possible to set up a unified system of
guidance for party organizations at all levels
and carry out the anti-Japanese armed struggle
and the building of party organizations more
vigorously by relying on better organized
internal revolutionary forces.
Drawing on the successes
achieved in the first half of the 1930's, the
great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
conceived a plan in the second half of the
decade to expand party organizations in the
homeland on a wide basis, achieve the unity of
the whole nation under the anti-Japanese
banner, set up a well-regulated unified system
of guiding all party organizations and ensure
party leadership for the Korean revolution as
a whole. This plan was admirably carried out.
Here, the Meeting of the Military and
Political Cadres of the Korean People's
Revolutionary Army held in Nanhutou in
February 1936 was of historic significance.
At this meeting Comrade Kim
Il Sung summed up the work of building
party organizations in the first half of the
1930's and put forward a policy for the
forceful introduction of this work on a
nationwide scale to lay solid organizational
and ideological foundations so that the
founding of the party could be proclaimed as
soon as an appropriate situation was created.
In accordance with
the policy put forward at the Nanhutou
Meeting, Comrade Kim Il Sung ensured
that party organizations at all levels within
the KPRA were built up and also that party
organizations were expanded in the homeland
and in the areas inhabited by Koreans in
Manchuria. With the intention of strengthening
guidance to these organizations, he set up the
Party Working Committee in the homeland, the
Changbai County Party Committee and the Party
Working Committee in East
Manchuria. As a result, party
organizations were rapidly expanded in a wide
area of Manchuria
and in the northern border area of our country
and a well-regulated system of guidance to
party organizations was established.
Party organizations were
increased throughout the country, and a
unified system of guidance for party
organizations was established, ranging from
the Party Committee of the KPRA to local party
organizations.
This firmly ensured the
unitary guidance of the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung for all party organizations and
the revolutionary movement in our country as a
whole.
The founding of the
Association for the Restoration of the
Fatherland in May 1936 was an event of
historic significance in firmly rallying all
levels of people, including workers and
peasants, around the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung and in cementing the mass
foundation of the party. The ARF was an
anti-Japanese national united front
organization to which party guidance was
guaranteed. Party organizations and communists
rallied broad sections of the people in the
ARF and actively mobilized them to the
struggle to implement the Juche-motivated line
of the Korean revolution. With the founding
and rapid expansion of the ARF more communists
were trained, the mass foundation of the party
considerably strengthened and fresh progress
was made in giving party leadership to all
sections of the people.
In this way, during the
anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, our
Party organizations were formed in the ranks
of the KPRA and over a vast area at home and
abroad and were, for organizational purposes,
firmly welded to the Headquarters of the
Korean revolution. Thus the leader's guidance,
party guidance, to the whole Korean revolution
was successfully achieved.
The most important thing
in party leadership to the revolutionary
movement is to make a scientific analysis of
the situation created at each stage and put
forward a correct line and policies, strategy
and tactics and thus clarify the road of
struggle.
The party's line and
policies, strategy and tactics are put forward
by the leader and they are discussed and
decided upon at party meetings. The great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung devised the
immortal Juche idea; and applying this idea at
each stage, he proposed a correct line,
strategy and tactics for the Korean revolution
at the meetings of party and Young Communist
League cadres and military and political
cadres. This was a firm guarantee for
achieving the unity of the revolutionary ranks
in ideology, will and action based on the
Juche idea, and for enabling the Korean
communists and people to fight always with a
clear guideline even in adversity. In fact, at
that time meetings of party and Young
Communist League cadres and military and
political cadres reflected the party's
organizational will and served as an important
means to put party leadership into effect.
Another important thing
in party guidance to the revolutionary
movement is to strengthen its kindred ties
with the masses and organize them to implement
the line and policy set forth by the leader.
At that time the
mainstream of the Korean revolution was the
armed struggle, and it was basic to party
guidance to lead this struggle to victory. The
party organizations formed within the KPRA
rallied party members and guerrillas behind
the leader, explained and brought home to them
his revolutionary line, strategy and tactics
and ensured that they were thoroughly
implemented. Meanwhile, the party
organizations in different areas at home and
abroad rooted themselves deeply amongst the
broad masses and creditably played the role of
educators and organizers, who mobilized the
workers, peasants, young people and students
and other sections of the people on the side
of the anti-Japanese struggle.
Because the Korean
communists and people had these party
organizations and fought under their guidance,
they could give momentum to the anti-Japanese
national-liberation struggle and accelerate
its final victory despite unprecedented
difficulties.
After the country's
liberation the great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung, on the basis of the successes and
experiences he had personally accumulated in
party building during the anti-Japanese
revolutionary struggle, lost no time in
setting up party organizations in different
areas, and, on October 10, 1945, founded the
Central Organizing Committee of the North
Korean Communist Party. This was a historic
event in accomplishing the cause of Party
founding which had been carried on for many
years under his guidance. Our Party shone
forth all over the world as a revolutionary
working-class party of a new type guided by
the Juche idea, and our people were able to
push ahead confidently with the building of a
new society under its leadership.
Following liberation our
Party, as a ruling party, developed in a new
direction.
The course of the
building of our Party in power was that of
expanding its ranks and consolidating it
organizationally and ideologically. The most
urgent requirement was to develop the Party
quickly into a mass party. Only when the Party
was developed in this way and deeply rooted
among broad sections of the working masses,
would it be possible to mobilize all the
masses and guide political, economic, cultural
and all other affairs, thereby dynamically
speeding up the construction of a new country.
The great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung, showing a deep insight
into the prevailing situation and the
inevitable need of our Party's development,
put forward the unique organizational line of
building it as a mass party and inaugurated a
unified party of the working masses by merging
the Communist Party with another party of
working people.
To develop the Communist
Party into a mass party was an urgent
requirement of our developing Party and
revolution, which accorded with the situation
in a new era. In the new situation where the
popular masses emerge as masters of history,
the revolution is not only participated in by
the working class but also by broad sections
of the peasantry and working intellectuals.
Only when a working-class party in power
rallies all these people and provides them
with unified leadership, can it successfully
carry on the revolution and construction.
Particularly in our country, which had been a
colonial, semi-feudal society in the past, it
was a highly important strategic problem to
draw the peasantry and working intellectuals
as well as the working class into the
revolution and construction. As the Communist
Party grew organizationally and ideologically
strong and the revolution progressed after
liberation, the Party had to be developed into
a unified mass party which could rally the
broad working masses as a political force and
mobilize their strength. It was a task which
was brought to fruition. Our Party merged with
another working people's party in time and
accepted a large number of advanced elements
of the peasantry and working intellectuals,
together with those of the working class, so
that it firmly ensured the unity of the
working masses, developed closer ties with
them and pushed ahead with the revolution and
construction successfully by mobilizing many
people of various strata.
An important task arising
in building our Party as a mass party was to
consolidate its quality in order to keep pace
with its rapid growth in numbers.
The Second Party Congress
held in March 1948 accepted this need for an
improvement in quality as a matter of cardinal
importance in the building of a mass party,
and advanced an overall task for this
purpose—strengthening Party cells, improving
its ideological work and guaranteeing its
organizational and ideological unity. Through
the struggle to implement the Party's policy
on this subject as put forward at its Second
Congress, the organizational and ideological
work was improved, all the cells strengthened
to become vital militant units and the level
of the rank and file and cadres was raised. In
this way the quality of the Party ranks was
consolidated, its unity and cohesion increased
and the militancy of its organizations and its
leading role were improved.
The 1950's was a period
of historic significance in the development of
our Party as a party of a Juche type.
The Fatherland Liberation
War against US
imperialist invasion was a harsh trial for our
Party. In order to achieve victory in the war
the Party had to strengthen itself first of
all, organizationally and ideologically and
unite all the people closely behind it.
Even in the grim wartime
conditions the great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung convened the Third, Fourth and
Fifth Plenary Meetings of the Central
Committee of the Party and guided the Party to
correct deviations and shortcomings in Party
building and Party work promptly and
strengthen itself organizationally and
ideologically. The Third Plenary Meeting
remedied the loose practices which were
revealed during the temporary retreat and
established revolutionary discipline within
the Party, and the Fourth Plenary Meeting
eliminated the "Leftist" deviation manifested
in its organizational work and increased and
consolidated its ranks. The Fifth Plenary
Meeting in particular brought about a new
change in strengthening the Party
organizationally and ideologically by arousing
all its organizations and membership to the
struggle to temper the Party spirit of its
members, fortify its unity and solidarity in
opposition to factionalism and establish Juche
in its ideological work.
As a result of these
timely measures to strengthen itself, our
Party was able to survive all ordeals and be
victorious in the Fatherland Liberation War.
In the postwar period our
Party effected a radical change in
establishing Juche and cementing its unity and
cohesion.
We rehabilitated the
national economy in a short period after the
victorious war, but the situation was still
difficult. To make matters worse, the
factionalists who had remained in the Party
adopted revisionism and challenged it. The
prevailing situation urgently demanded that
the Party be strengthened organizationally and
ideologically under the banner of Juche.
The great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung called the Third Party
Congress in April 1956 and set forth the very
important task of opposing factionalism in the
field of Party building, preserving its unity
and solidarity and improving its
organizational and ideological work. At the
August 1956 Plenary Meeting of the Party
Central Committee, he wisely led the struggle
to expose and destroy the anti-Party,
counterrevolutionary factionalists who opposed
the Party. All the working people and Party
members including the anti-Japanese
revolutionary veterans who were infinitely
loyal to the respected leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung, determinedly countered the
manoeuvres of the anti-Party,
counterrevolutionary factionalists and firmly
defended the Party and the leader. The
historical significance of the Third Party
Congress and the August 1956 Plenary Meeting
in the strengthening of our Party lies in the
fact that these meetings opposed all
anti-Party, counterrevolutionary ideological
elements including those of factionalism and
revisionism and upheld the banner of Juche,
the banner of Party unity and solidarity.
After these meetings our Party established
Juche more firmly in its work and further
increased its unity and cohesion. Because it
thus rebuffed factionalism and revisionism
promptly, established Juche firmly and
preserved its unity and solidarity, our Party
was able to raise the revolutionary banner
high without vacillation and strengthen itself
organizationally and ideologically even in the
face of the complex situation at home and
abroad.
Our Party reached a new,
higher stage of development in the 1960's.
The establishment of an
integral, advanced socialist system and the
creation of the solid basis of an independent
national economy as a result of the
fulfillment of the task of laying the
foundations of socialism, radically changed
the socio-economic conditions for our Party's
activities. In addition, the stubborn struggle
against the anti-Party factionalists and their
lingering ideological poison fulfilled the
historical task of eradicating the factions
which had been doing tremendous harm for many
years, and of achieving the unity of the
Korean communist movement. This showed that
our Party had entered a new phase of
development.
At that historic moment,
the Fourth Party Congress was held, during
which the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung
put forward the very important task of further
strengthening the Party organizationally and
ideologically and increasing its leadership
role. In particular, he stressed the need to
oppose revisionism, factionalism, regionalism
and nepotism and preserve the unity of the
Party's idea and purpose so that all Party
members and organizations would think and act
as the Party Central Committee did, cast in
their lot with it and struggle to the end in
whatever difficult circumstances there might
be. Through the struggle to implement the
tasks related to Party building proposed by
its Fourth Congress, the Party further
consolidated its unity and solidarity,
enhanced its leadership role and made
remarkable progress in improving its work
method and style, re-educating the masses and
uniting them around it. In particular, the
15th Plenary Meeting of the Fourth Central
Committee of the Party held in May 1967 became
an opportunity to effect a decisive change in
establishing the Party's monolithic
ideological system.
In the 1970's a great new
change was made in the development of our
Party.
The Fifth Party Congress
held in November 1970 defined it as the
general task of Party work: to establish a
monolithic ideological system throughout the
Party and, on this basis, fortify the unity
and solidarity of its ranks. The congress set
forth the very important task of the proper
conduct of work with people, which is
fundamental to Party work. We steadfastly
carried out the general task of Party work put
forward by the Fifth Congress and thus laid a
solid organizational and ideological basis on
which to continue to strengthen our Party and
carry forward our revolutionary cause to
completion.
The Party's cause
continues from generation to generation, and
it must preserve its revolutionary character
until it fulfils its mission. If it is to keep
this character throughout generations and
carry out its noble mission, a working-class
party must farsightedly carry on the work of
consolidating itself, and of hardening its
organizational and ideological basis.
Looking into the future
of its development and that of the revolution,
our Party laid down the strategic policy for
transforming the whole of society in line with
the Juche idea and, as its precondition,
strove to accelerate the modelling of the
whole Party on the Juche idea.
This is a new, higher
level of establishing its monolithic
ideological system. Our Party defined infinite
loyalty to the Party and the leader as an
essential quality of its membership and
subordinated all its activities to
establishing its monolithic ideological
system. In this way it steeped itself in the
Juche idea, the monolithic ideology, and, on
this basis, further cemented the unity of idea
and purpose amongst its ranks. Our Party paid
particular attention to building up the
backbone of the revolutionary forces. It
strengthened the ranks of cadres on the
principle of combining the elderly, the
middle-aged and the young, regarding their
loyalty to the Party and the leader as the
basic criterion of their qualification. It
intensified the training of cadres and members
in Party spirit by enhancing their sense of
organization and putting Party life on a
regular and routine basis. Through the
struggle to carry out the Party's policy for a
cadre revolution and the policy of making the
whole Party a party of cadres, which is aimed
at raising the political and professional
levels of cadres and Party members, the ranks
of our Party and cadres were further
strengthened, and the backbone needed to
accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche
was created.
Our Party developed in
depth the work of establishing its monolithic
ideological system and cementing the ranks of
the Party and cadres in close coordination
with the establishment of a new revolutionary
work system. We brought about a change in
Party work and its activity by setting up
within the Party a well-knit work system under
which the instructions of the great leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung and Party policy
were promptly circulated to the lowest
echelons, all Party organizations and
membership moved as one and upheld and carried
out Party policy unconditionally in accordance
with centralist discipline.
The success achieved in
Party building and its activities during the
1970's became a solid asset which enabled our
Party to aim for higher objectives. The Sixth
Party Congress held early in the 1980's put
forward an outstanding new programme to model
the whole of society on the Juche idea. It
included the militant tasks of Party building:
to further strengthen the ranks of the Party
and the revolution with continued adherence to
the principle of establishing the monolithic
ideological system in the whole Party as the
basic line of Party building, admirably carry
forward and develop the revolutionary
traditions and intensify Party leadership of
the revolution and construction. This shows
that our Party has entered a new, higher stage
of development as a great party which is
modelling the whole of society on the Juche
idea, regarding this as its foremost task.
Our Party has travelled a
glorious road of struggle under the banner of
Juche and has been further trained and
seasoned in the process.
In the whole course of
its leadership of the revolutionary struggle
and the work of construction, our Party has
always found the key to success in the
strengthening of the Party and consolidated
itself organizationally and ideologically
above all, and thus defeated the manoeuvres of
the enemies within and without, further
strengthened the revolutionary ranks and led
the revolution and construction to brilliant
victory at all times, overcoming manifold
difficulties and trials.
The Korean communist
movement which pioneered the revolutionary
road under the banner of the DIU, is now at a very
high level where it strives for the ultimate
victory of the revolution, bringing the cause
of modelling the whole of society on the Juche
idea to the fore. Our Party, the organizer and
leader of this great endeavour, has grown into
unbreakable fighting ranks which are stronger
than ever in terms of ideology and
organization and in its ties with the masses.
Today our Party has a firm organizational and
ideological basis on which it can develop for
all time as a revolutionary party of a Juche
type, as well as a strong leadership system
capable of gloriously advancing the
revolutionary cause of Juche. This is a sure
guarantee that the revolutionary cause
initiated by the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung can be carried on to its
consummation.
2
Our Party which has
followed a unique path since it started to
take root with the formation of the DIU is a new type of
revolutionary working-class party.
Ours is a Juche-type
revolutionary party which is guided by the
Juche idea and carried out its revolutionary
activities independently and creatively in
keeping with the interests of our people and
conditions in our country. By establishing
Juche thoroughly in all spheres of Party
building and activity with the Juche idea as
its unalterable guide, it has been able to
strengthen and develop into an indestructible
revolutionary party.
Basically, it is
essential for a working-class party to
establish Juche, which emanates from its own
character and mission. Because it is a
political leadership body which fights to
oppose all manner of domination and
subjugation and realize the independence of
the masses, it should establish Juche
thoroughly. If a party fails to do this and
dances to the tune of others, it will, in the
long run, bring ruin on both itself and the
revolution. Only a party which acts
independently, and with its own principle, can
be a powerful party which is united on the
basis of its own guiding idea and can enjoy
the support and confidence of its people and
enlist their inexhaustible strength, thus
vigorously advancing the revolution and
construction.
It is important for a
working-class party in establishing Juche to
eradicate flunkeyism and dogmatism. In our
country, particularly, where flunkeyism and
dogmatism were rampant and did great harm to
the communist movement, establishing Juche
posed a vital question relating to the destiny
of the Party and the revolution. During the
anti-Japanese national-liberation struggle and
in the periods of democratic and socialist
revolutions and socialist construction after
liberation, the Korean communists always
strove persistently to combat flunkeyism and
dogmatism and establish Juche. As a result,
they could strengthen and develop the Party
and advance the revolutionary struggle.
In the years of the
anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle the
flunkeyists tried to found a party with the
approval of others and achieve independence on
the strength of others, which caused great
harm to the development of the communist
movement in our country. After liberation the
harmfulness of flunkeyism and dogmatism was
manifested to a great extent during the
Fatherland Liberation War and it became
insupportable as the socialist revolution and
socialist construction were carried out on a
full scale.
The great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung who has fought against
flunkeyism and dogmatism since the early years
of the revolutionary struggle against the
Japanese, has given wise leadership so that
Juche is being established more thoroughly
with the development of the revolution and
construction. Upholding the revolutionary
policy on establishing Juche, our Party has
waged a vigorous ideological struggle to
eradicate the flunkeyism and dogmatism which
still remain in people's minds and, in the
meantime, it has ensured that they are
equipped firmly with the great Juche idea and
Party policy, its embodiment, and thus observe
and judge all problems from the Juche-oriented
stand and resolve them by their own efforts.
Through the struggle to establish Juche, a
change has been effected in the ideological
life of Party members and working people, the
Party's unity and cohesion based on the Juche
idea have been further strengthened, and a
continued improvement in the revolution and
construction has been brought about.
Under the slogan of
modelling the whole Party on the Juche idea,
our Party is now intensifying the battle to
establish Juche in Party building and activity
and is thus further perfecting its character
as a revolutionary party of a Juche type.
Ours is an invincible
revolutionary party which has firmly
established a monolithic ideological system
throughout its own structure.
Establishing this system
is our basic line of Party building. It is an
essential requirement of a working-class party
to ensure the unity of ideology and
leadership. This is effected by establishing
the Party's monolithic ideological system.
Only when this is done can the whole Party be
armed with the leader's intention and become a
living organism, breathing and acting in
conformity with his idea and will.
It is important in
establishing the Party's monolithic
ideological system to pervade the whole Party
with the leader's idea.
The leader is the
embodiment of the organizational will of the
whole Party and his idea is explicitly the
guiding ideology of the Party. The ideological
unity of the Party is brought about only on
the basis of the leader's idea.
Our Party regarded
education in the monolithic ideology as its
basic ideological task and carried it out
energetically. As a result, a single ideology
has prevailed throughout the Party, and all
its members have been armed firmly with the
leader's revolutionary idea, the Juche idea,
and have come to think and act as required by
this idea.
Another important factor
in establishing the monolithic ideological
system is to achieve the leader's unitary
leadership absolutely.
The leader is the supreme
controller of a party, and the party's
leadership is precisely his leadership. Our
Party has set up a well-regulated system under
which all its organizations and members act as
one man under the unitary leadership of
the great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung, give absolute authority to Party policies and defend and implement them without question.
Kim Il Sung, give absolute authority to Party policies and defend and implement them without question.
By thoroughly
establishing the monolithic ideological system
in its ranks our Party increased its strength
as never before, and was able to lead the
revolution and construction straight to
victory through all difficulties.
The progress of the
revolution calls for further strengthening the
work of establishing the Party's monolithic
ideological system. This is a law which
governs the development of the Party and the
revolution. The whole course of our Party's
existence is the process of in-depth
development of this work. Our Party defined
new principles of establishing its monolithic
ideological system and strengthened this work
to meet the needs of the revolution in the
1970's when the proposition was put forward
that the whole of society should be modelled
on the Juche idea. Today our Party has grown
into loyal ranks, and the whole membership
thinks and acts according to the will of the
Party and the leader, united firmly around the
great Comrade Kim Il Sung. This is the
most valuable achievement of the Korean
communists in the long period of struggle to
build the Party.
We are a powerful party
which has achieved the closest unity and
solidarity based on the Juche idea.
The unity and solidarity
of Party ranks is the source of a
revolutionary party's strength. A united party
is indestructible, and nothing is more
precious in building a working-class party
than its ranks' unity and cohesion.
Unity and cohesion are
brought about through struggle. The struggle
against anti-party tendencies is, in essence,
a reflection of the class struggle within the
party. Without mounting a resolute and
uncompromising attack against anti-party
tendencies and alien elements, the unity and
purity of the party ranks could not be
assured. Our Party has constantly strengthened
the unity and cohesion of its ranks,
overcoming all kinds of alien elements and
anti-Party tendencies, including factionalism.
Factionalism was the
first target of the campaign for our Party's
unity and cohesion. The revolutionary ranks
led by Comrade Kim Il Sung during the
anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle overcame
factionalism and they all united closely
behind him. This is an invaluable tradition of
our communist movement which was established
during the bloody struggle to shape the
destiny of the country and the people. But the
factionalists who had become traitors and
philistines slipped into the communist ranks
in the chaotic situation after liberation and
viciously worked to undermine the unity and
cohesion of the Party. In an attempt to
accomplish their factional plot they did not
hesitate to collaborate with imperialists.
If factionalism were to
be tolerated, the unity of a working-class
party in idea and purpose could not be
achieved, nor could the party exist as an
entity. In the struggle for its unity our
Party concentrated its attack first on
factionalism which still remained from the
past, wiped out the anti-Party factionalists
and achieved the great unity of the Korean
communist movement.
The struggle for the
unity and cohesion of the Party did not end
with the defeat of factionalism which had
persisted for many years. After clearing out
this filth, our Party went on to fight the
anti-Party revisionists and developed its
historic struggle for unity on a higher level.
The unity and cohesion of
our Party are great and unbreakable because
the entire membership is united around the
great Comrade Kim Il Sung and because
they are based on its infinite loyalty to the
Party and the leader. The leader is the centre
of the Party's unity and cohesion, and its
strength depends on how firmly the entire
membership is united behind him. The unity and
cohesion of our Party are not just achieved
out of duty. They are based on the
membership's infinite respect for, and
absolute trust in, the Party and the leader,
and founded on its unshakable revolutionary
belief and sense of gratitude which cause it
to defend and protect the Party and the leader
politically and ideologically and to fight for
them even at the cost of its members' lives.
The unity and cohesion of
our Party are great and unbreakable because
they are based on unity of idea and purpose.
The important thing in the Party's unity and
cohesion is to achieve the unity of idea and
will. Unity based on a single idea and purpose
must be durable, otherwise it cannot achieve
lasting unity. The single ideology means
precisely the revolutionary idea of the
leader, the founder of the Party. The leader's
revolutionary idea is the basis of the Party's
unity and cohesion; the unity and cohesion of
the working-class party is the unity of idea
and purpose based on the revolutionary idea of
the leader. Our Party is an ideological entity
of communists of a Juche type who regard the
Juche idea as their world outlook.
Our Party is so strong
because of its great unity and cohesion based
on the Juche idea and centring on the great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.
We are a steel-like party
with a strong organization and discipline.
Revolutionary
organization and discipline are the life and
soul of the party, the highest organization of
the working class and the weapon of the class
struggle and the weapon of the revolution and
construction. Only when iron discipline and
organization are guaranteed, can the
working-class party be a truly revolutionary
and militant party and win the revolutionary
struggle, in the face of all difficulties and
trials. As history shows, a party dominated by
liberalism and indiscipline is doomed to
failure.
Because of its
unbreakable organization and discipline our
Party is powerful and invincible. The
organization and discipline of our Party are
durable and strong because they are founded on
the membership's infinite loyalty to the Party
and the leader and its high degree of
political awareness.
Organization and
discipline are strengthened when a
revolutionary system of Party life is
established throughout the Party and that life
is regularized and standardized among its
members. Our experience clearly shows that the
regulation and standardization of Party life
and the strict observance of the rules and
order of inner Party life are a powerful means
for revolutionizing Party member and making
them better organized and disciplined and for
strengthening and developing the Party into a
revolutionary one with great fighting
efficiency. Through the struggle to regulate
and standardize Party life, the Party members'
sense of organization has been enhanced and a
habit has been firmly established of all
working and living in strict dependence on
Party organizations. This is a valuable
achievement in Party building.
Our Party is an
invincible party which maintains close ties of
kinship with the masses.
The Party labours for the
interests of the working class and other
popular masses and carries out the revolution
by organizing and mobilizing them.
Accordingly, maintaining close bonds of
kinship with the broad masses and becoming
deeply rooted amongst them is particularly
important in the building of a working-class
party. Only a party which strikes its roots
deep among the masses and enjoys their support
and trust and which knows how to organize and
mobilize them can demonstrate an invincible
might and discharge its mission as the General
Staff of the revolution and the political
leader of the popular masses.
Keeping in touch with the
masses is important for a ruling party, too.
If the party has taken power, this problem is
not solved automatically. If the party in
power is divorced from the masses and loses
their support and confidence, it also becomes
impotent and even endangers its own existence.
Since he set out on the
revolutionary road, the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung has regarded the ties with the
popular masses as a fundamental problem
related to the future of the revolutionary
organization. For a long time he has always
been among the masses and shared the good
things and the bad with them. He has made it
an iron rule to trust the masses and promote
the revolution and construction by giving rein
to their strength and wisdom.
Our Party saw to it that
officials and its members raised their Party
spirit, working-class spirit and popular
spirit, served the people faithfully and
thoroughly implemented the mass line in all
their activities, thus constantly
strengthening the ties between the Party and
the masses. In work with people our Party
firmly adhered to the class principle and
built up its class position. On the other
hand, it educated broad sections of the
masses, boldly drew them into its fold and
united them firmly behind it.
Today our Party maintains
its close ties with the people and enjoys the
unreserved support and confidence of people of
all backgrounds, and our people entrust their
destiny entirely to the Party and fight on
without hesitation along the road which it
specifies. As has already been said, our Party
forms a perfect whole with the people. No
wonder it is invincible and no force can break
its close bonds of kinship with the people.
Our Party established a
well-regulated system of work with people and
established a revolutionary method of work and
a popular style of work throughout the Party.
All activities of the
party, a political organization of the working
class fighting for the interests of the masses
of people, are realized through work with
people. The party gets people to act
voluntarily, thus transforming society and
nature and advancing the revolution and
construction.
The great leader Comrade
Kim Il Sung put forward the idea of
making work with people basic to Party work.
This is a great idea which clarifies the
fundamental principle of Party activity by
incorporating the Juche idea in Party
building. Only by making work with people its
key policy can the Party prevent its work from
being reduced to administrative-technical
work, and maintain its nature as a political
organization and fulfil its militant role and
function properly.
Our Party opposed the
tendency to reduce Party work to
administrative-technical work, a tendency
which may appear in a party in power, and
resolutely carried through the policy of
making work with people basic to Party
activity.
Establishing the
revolutionary method of work and the popular
style of work is a serious and important
question arising in the building of a
working-class party.
In particular, when the
party takes power, an inclination towards
bureaucracy may appear, the inclination to
issue orders and instructions from a position
of power. A bureaucratic attitude is more
likely to be shown by officials who have
developed in a tranquil atmosphere without
undergoing revolutionary trials.
By its nature, this is a
despotic method of administration which is
used by the ruling class in an exploiting
society. It is fundamentally opposed to the
real nature of a working-class party. When
officials do not have the revolutionary method
of work and popular style of work and are
infected with bureaucracy, the party line and
policies, however correct they may be, cannot
be carried out and this leads to serious
consequences—estranging the party from the
masses and dampening their revolutionary
enthusiasm and creative activity.
Since it came into power,
our Party has considered it to be a
fundamental matter in Party building to
improve the method and style of Party work and
it has always paid great attention to this.
The basic policy
maintained by our Party in improving the
method and style of Party work is to establish
the anti-Japanese guerrilla work method
throughout the Party. This method created in
person by the great leader Comrade Kim Il
Sung during the arduous anti-Japanese
revolutionary struggle is a true communistic
work method. Carrying this forward is the true
way to eradicate bureaucracy, the abuse of
power and all other mistaken methods and
styles of work left over from the old society
and establish the revolutionary method of work
and popular style of work conforming with a
socialist and communist society.
Our Party's traditional
anti-Japanese guerrilla method of work has
been embodied and improved in conformity with
the new conditions of socialist construction,
through the great Chongsanri spirit and
method. In a nutshell, the Chongsanri method
is a work method of relying on the strength of
the masses; it is a revolutionary work method
by which one goes among the masses, shares the
good times and the bad with them and carries
out projected tasks by drawing on their
conscious enthusiasm and creative initiative.
In the course of implementing the Chongsanri
spirit and method, our Party work has been
completely turned into work with man and its
work method and style have been radically
improved.
Improving the method and
style of Party work is a campaign to eliminate
obsolete ideological elements from the minds
of officials. So it should be waged tirelessly
and patiently over a long period. Our Party
accepted this as a central task to improve its
work method and style in keeping with the new
requirements of the developing revolution and
has waged a vigorous all-Party struggle to
this end. As a result, the anti-Japanese
guerrilla method of work has been embodied in
all Party work and the way of Party work
radically improved. The revolutionary spirit
beats throughout the Party, all work is
carried out energetically, and relations
between the Party and the masses have become
unbreakable.
Our Party has been
strengthened and developed into a
revolutionary party which advances, united
with the masses, and a militant party which
has its roots deep amongst them and enjoys
their unreserved support. This is one of the
most precious achievements in building a
revolutionary party of a Juche type.
Our Party is, indeed, a
glorious revolutionary party of a Juche type,
a party which was founded and acts, guided by
the Juche idea, a party in which the
monolithic ideological system has been firmly
established and whose members have been united
rock-firm on the basis of the Juche idea; a
party which maintains close ties of kinship
with the popular masses and strives to
accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche by
improving their role.
To strengthen and develop
our Party still further into a revolutionary
party of a Juche type is a decisive guarantee
for overcoming all obstacles and bringing the
revolutionary cause of Juche to completion.
3
Today our Party is
confronted with the important revolutionary
task of promoting the shaping of all society
on the Juche idea and carrying through the
cause of national reunification. We must
reunify the country at all costs, whatever
difficulties lie ahead of the revolution, and
work through generations to come for the
consummation of the revolutionary cause of
Juche. This requires that we should steadily
strengthen the Party and raise its leadership
role.
The Party is a weapon of
the revolution and construction and the
guiding force of a socialist and communist
society. Without strengthening the Party and
raising its leading role and function, we
cannot successfully advance the revolution and
construction and run the socialist and
communist society properly. A socialist and
communist society is not an anarchistic
society, but a highly organized one. In order
to manage such a society, there must be
political leadership of a guiding force with
the strong ability of organization like a
party. Without coherent political leadership,
it is impossible to ensure unity in the
ideology and action of the popular masses and
organize and direct man's activities in the
common interests of society.
Even after a communist
society is established, the struggle continues
to abolish the old and create the new in
various spheres of social life. Through this
struggle society keeps developing. Without the
leadership of a guiding force like a party, we
are not properly able to carry out the work to
educate people, improve social relations,
conquer nature and ensure the steady progress
of society.
As long as capitalism and
imperialism remain on the globe, even after
communism is established in one country or
some regions, we cannot be free from the
danger of aggression from outside enemies and
the resistance of internal enemies who are
hand in glove with them. Only through the
leadership of a guiding force like a party can
we smash the activities of hostile elements
who encroach upon the interests of the masses
and reliably protect their independent and
creative life.
In view of the position
held and the role played by a party in
carrying on the cause of socialism and
communism, we must build the Party in a
methodical way. This can be achieved through
transformation of the whole Party after the
Juche idea. Making the Juche idea prevail
throughout the Party is the only way to
transform nature, society and men in keeping
with that idea and successfully build and
guide a communist society, the society
impregnated with that idea.
Imbuing the Party with
the Juche idea is the consistent policy of
Party building maintained from the start by
our Party which was established with the Juche
idea as its guiding idea. The process of the
building of our Party is a process of
patterning it on the Juche idea. Imbuing all
Party members with the Juche idea is a
continuation and a higher stage of our Party's
historic struggle to model itself on that
idea.
Imbuing all Party members
with the Juche idea means, in essence,
strengthening and developing our Party for all
time into a party of Comrade
Kim Il Sung.
Strengthening and
developing our Party into the
party of the great Comrade
Kim Il Sung implies having him eternally at its head and holding fast to his ideology and line and implementing them throughout all generations.
Kim Il Sung implies having him eternally at its head and holding fast to his ideology and line and implementing them throughout all generations.
The respected Comrade Kim
Il Sung is the great leader who has, for
the first time in their history of several
thousand years, been acclaimed by our people;
he is the teacher and father of our Party and
people.
Upholding the great
leader Comrade Kim Il Sung for all
time is the noble duty of Korean communists
and is based on their unalterable
revolutionary conviction.
It is the revolutionary
conviction of the Korean communists that they
can surmount any difficulties and emerge
victorious without fail, only when they follow
his guidance. This conviction has been firmly
formed by our people through their own
experience gained in the arduous struggle of
more than half a century, from the period when
they began to page a new way of revolution
under the leadership of the respected Comrade
Kim Il Sung.
Since the dawn of our
revolution Korean communists have believed
that they could carve out the thorny
revolutionary road only under the leadership
of the great Comrade Kim Il Sung, and
have won victories, overcoming all trials, and
lived and fought with everlasting,
single-hearted loyalty to him, entrusting
their destinies entirely to him.
The revolutionary
conviction of the Korean communists and people
who remain faithful to the respected leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung will never be
shaken.
We must see to it that
all Party members, working people and the
generations to come hold the respected leader
Comrade Kim Il Sung in high esteem,
just as the anti-Japanese revolutionary
fighters did, and retain unquestioning
loyalty, ready to take the road across the
mountains or swamps when called upon to do so
by the Party and the leader.
Our Party was founded and
developed by Comrade Kim Il Sung.
Korean communists are the revolutionary
soldiers who have grown up under his care.
Remaining unwaveringly loyal to the leader who
has brought them up is a natural communist
obligation.
We must continue to
strengthen and develop our Party into a
revolutionary party which eternally upholds
the great Comrade Kim Il Sung as the
leader and teacher, into a militant party
which breathes and acts in keeping with his
ideology and purpose.
This is the fundamental
point which we must always grasp firmly in
building our Party.
We must, above all,
steadily deepen the work to establish the
monolithic ideological system throughout the
Party.
This is a task we must
continue for ever, as long as the Party exists
and flourishes.
Today our Party has
entered a new stage of development. Our
revolution is assuming a protracted and
arduous nature and generations are changing
among our revolutionary ranks. The internal
and external position of our revolution is
tense and complicated. The present situation
calls for the establishment of the monolithic
ideological system of the Party as a still
more important matter.
In establishing the
monolithic ideological system in the whole
Party it is a fundamental requirement to
develop all Party members and working people
into ardent revolutionaries who are loyal to
the Party and the leader.
We believe that
everything in Party building and Party work
depends, above all, on our loyalty to the
Party and the leader. Today our Party
emphasizes the allegiance of the young
communists and the guerrillas during the
anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, as an
example in leading Party members and working
people to become infinitely loyal to the Party
and the leader. In the grimmest days when our
People were straining under Japanese
imperialist oppression, they practised loyalty
to the great Comrade Kim Il Sung with
a revolutionary faith that they could shape
the destiny of the country and the nation and
win the revolution only when they followed his
leadership. Party organizations must conduct
their work with the main emphasis on getting
all cadres and Party members to uphold and
follow the Party and the leader wholeheartedly
and faithfully like the anti-Japanese
revolutionary fighters.
We must strongly defend
the traditions of Juche and carry them forward
without tarnishing their purity.
Our Party's traditions of
Juche are the great Comrade Kim Il Sung's
ideology and theory, his revolutionary
exploits and battle experience, and his method
of work. They are infinitely rich and valuable
and are eternally vital for the strengthening
and development of our Party and for the
victory of our revolution, because they were
established in the course of a prolonged,
unprecedentedly sharp and complex struggle.
Because it inherited the traditions of Juche
our Party was able to strengthen and develop
on the most solid organizational and
ideological groundwork and advance
victoriously, breaking through the rugged road
beset with trials and difficulties. The future
of our Party also depends on how we defend and
carry forward these great traditions.
We must make not only the
present generation but also the coming
generations hold the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung's ideology and theory as the
eternal guiding ideology and theory of the
Party, stoutly defend his revolutionary
exploits, experience in struggle,
revolutionary method of work and popular style
of work and splendidly carry forward and
complete the revolutionary cause of Juche.
Protecting and constantly
strengthening the unity and cohesion and
purity of the Party is a crucial matter which
concerns the destiny of the Party and the
revolution. We must defend and strengthen our
Party's great unity and cohesion through all
generations.
Under the wise leadership
of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung,
and through its protracted struggle, our Party
has achieved the most solid and viable unity
and cohesion in the history of the communist
movement. We are justified in taking pride in
this fact.
However, we must never be
satisfied with the successes achieved in the
struggle for the unity and cohesion of the
Party. Our revolution is not yet completed and
we shall have to continue with the hard
struggle. As long as imperialism remains,
opportunism survives and the class struggle
continues, we must unremittingly intensify the
struggle for the Party's unity and cohesion.
Party organizations must
ensure that all cadres and their members are
fully conversant with our Party's experience
of the anti-factional struggle. This will
enable them to have a keen Party and class
outlook at all times and uncompromisingly
combat all unsound elements which undermine
the Party's unity and cohesion, such as
factionalism, nepotism and parochialism.
Throughout the coming generations we must
preserve the unity and cohesion of our Party
and revolutionary ranks which are united as
one around the leader on the basis of the
Juche idea and must enforce our iron
discipline under which all Party members act
as one under the direction of the Party
Central Committee.
All Party members should
be fully prepared as communist revolutionaries
of a Juche type.
Our Party members are
vanguard fighters who are responsible for the
consummation of the Juche revolutionary cause,
the socialist and communist cause in Korea.
In order to prepare Party members to be fully
communist revolutionaries of a Juche type,
their Party life has to be strengthened.
This is all the more
important in view of the fact that generations
are changing within the Party ranks today. The
Party can be successfully handed on only when
Party life is strengthened. This is because
the Party ranks are constantly replenished as
the days go by with new generations who lack
Party tempering.
Party organizations
should run the new system of Party life
established throughout the Party efficiently,
so as to improve the standard of Party life of
the members and steadily temper the Party
spirit of all cadres and members.
An intensified struggle
should be continued to improve the method and
style of Party work, so that the leader's work
method will be established more thoroughly
throughout the whole Party.
As there can be no other
idea than the leader's in our Party founded
and trained by the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung, so there can be no other work
method and style than the leader's work
method. However, the old work method and style
still remain in the Party, thereby harming its
work.
If the Party fails to
eliminate the old work method and style, it
will gradually lose the support and trust of
the popular masses and estrange itself from
them and, in the long run, have to face
difficulties. We should decisively put an end
to the old work method and style, bearing in
mind that correcting the method and style of
Party work is a serious problem on which the
fate of the Party and the revolution depends.
In order to correct the
work method and style, officials should
establish a revolutionary mass viewpoint and
acquire popular personality characteristics.
Party workers are out-and-out defenders of the
interests of the working class and other
popular masses, and are their faithful
servants. Party workers should regard their
subordinates and the masses as their true
revolutionary comrades, love them
wholeheartedly, share the good and the bad
times with them, and uncomplainingly devote
everything to them.
If they are to improve
the method and style of Party work, they have
to learn the Juche-oriented theory and
methodology of Party work. These are unique
subjects which embody the requirements of the
Juche idea for attaching the greatest
importance to man in everything and making
everything serve him. Only when we deeply
understand them can we work with people
properly and skilfully solve all problems of
re-educating and mobilizing the masses.
We must remember that if
a working-class party fails to overcome
bureaucratic and administrative tendencies, it
will be disqualified from leading the
revolution, so we have to continue to wage a
stubborn struggle to eliminate the old work
method completely. In this way we ought to
make our Party a mother party which is always
infinitely loyal to the working class and the
popular masses, and the standard-bearer of the
masses which is united with them and
powerfully drives the revolution and
construction forward at their head.
The success so far
achieved in Party building firmly guarantees a
bright future for our Party and revolution.
Broad vistas are now
opened up before our Party, and our
revolutionary struggle is becoming more
fruitful. We must never rest on our laurels,
but continue to fight vigorously for fresh
victories. Hewing out the revolutionary road
through struggle is our Party's traditional
revolutionary characteristic. We have to
continue fighting stubbornly along the road of
revolution started on Mt. Paektu
and thus bring to successful completion the
revolutionary cause of Juche, the cause of
socialism and communism.
Victory and glory are
always in store for our Party and people
fighting for the consummation of the
revolutionary cause of Juche under the wise
leadership of the great leader Comrade Kim
Il Sung.
