The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il eternal general of the Workers' Party and eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission , who passed away nearly 1 year ago on December 17th was remembered for many accomplishments and achievements as well being the benevolent father of the Korean people but to Juche idea followers is remembered most poignantly as the great defender of independence , Songun and socialism. Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and First
Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK defined independence , Songun and socialism as the invariable line of the DPRK and the Korean revolution as well the precious legacy of the great leaders President Kim Il Sung and generalissimo Kim Jong Il.
The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il fiercely defended the independence of the DPRK both in word and deed.
In the mid 1990s the efforts of the US imperialists and other reactionary forces reached extremes . A virtually unprecedented wave of anti-communism and anti-socialism swept the world fanned by the frustration of socialism in the ex USSR and a few other places . Of course this was the fruit of revisionism (which had always been opposed by leader Kim Jong Il and the WPK) and imperialist pressure , sabotage and intrigue. The US imperialists became more arrogant and vainglorious then before proclaimed a fascist like "new world order" and intervening all over the place. Many communist parties abandoned socialism or were liquidated . Some national liberation movements did deals and made compromises with imperialism , reactionaries and the class enemy. Guns fell silent with liberation fighters shaking hands with their sworn enemies. The DPRK the land of Juche confronted US imperialism and other international reactionary forces alone. The US imperialists turned their attention to the DPRK the bulwark of anti-imperialism and authentic socialist country . First they cooked up the so-called nuclear issue , then they intensified sanctions against the DPRK. In 1994 the DPRK suffered a great loss the passing away of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. Then the DPRK was hit by natural disasters which damaged agriculture and caused big problems in the people's living. The US imperialists rubbed their hands and spread malicious propaganda about the situation in the DPRK. Hack journalists and bribed professors of the imperialist world wrote stories about the "impending collapse of the DPRK.
The situation was critical with the DPRK facing the choice of advancing down the independent socialist road or submitting to imperialism. The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il was acutely aware of this." He declared " expect no change from me". There was intense pressure, both covert and overt from the imperialists and others for the DPRK to "open up" and "reform" . Of course if the DPRK it would have been given money and other things by the imperialists ( in the long term the people would faced ruin ,destitution and starvation) . However the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il refused to submit to pressure,intimidation and appeasement by the imperialists nor was he scared by the military blackmail of the imperialists.
Instead of "opening up " and "reform " the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il pursued a path of rugged independence. He took many measures to revitalise the economy on the basis of economic independence . On the 19th of June 1997 he wrote the immortal classic work "On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of" the Revolution and Construction" this was a militant anti imperialist manifesto against globalisation. After the frustration of socialism in some countries the imperialists and world bourgeoisie pushed ahead with the sinister scheme of globalisation to enslave whole economies and obliterate national cultures . Comrade Kim Jong Il wrote
" Taking advantage of the trials which the cause of independence for the popular masses is undergoing, the imperialists are now working more blatantly than ever to obliterate the Juche character and traits of other countries and nations and realize their dominationist ambition. At the present moment, the independent development of the country and nation is inconceivable and it is impossible to prevent the people from falling to the lot of colonial slavery again, apart from the struggle against the dominationist machinations of the imperialists."
The experience of the Korean revoluton has proved beyond all doubt independence is underpinned by armed force , by Songun. The great leader in the 1990s administered Songun politics . Comrade Kim Jong Il On the 1st of January 1995 he visited the Takabasol(Dwarf Pine tree) army post and declared declared that the DPRK was at the crossroads , that they could either live under independent socialism or become colonial slaves of the imperialists (colonial slavery had become the lot of many countries under the so-called New World Order of Bush. Clinton and Blair). To defend independence and socialism the DPRK needed to effect Songun politics , the revolutionary line of giving
priority to the army and modelling society on the revolutionary soldier spirit. This was the only way to defeat imperialism and defend independence.
The Songun idea originated at the historic Kalun meeting in June 1930 when the great leader President Kim Il Sung put forward the idea that independence can only be achieved by the force of arms. Songun is an embodiment of the Juche idea.
The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il had began his Songun revolutionary leadership on August 25th 1960 by his visit to the historic Seoul Ryu Kyong Su no 105 tank division of the KPA . Dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un has said that August 25 is just as important and significant as April 25 the day when the Korean People's Army was founded. The Seoul Ryu Kyong Su no 105 tank division was the tank division of the KPA that was first to push into Seoul and liberate it in the last Korean war. Comrade Kim Jong Il over the decades built up the KPA as the main force of the revolution . Thus in the 1990s when the moves of the US imperialists and other reactionaries to stifle the DPRK became so acute the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il put into practice the Songun politics of the WPK . The DPRK won victories against the US imperialists. It foiled the plot of the US imperialists to use the IAEA against the DPRK and force it to open up non nuclear military sites for "inspection". The hardline of the imperialists was countered by an even harder line of the DPRK. In December 1994 the anti aircraft gunners of the KPA downed a Yank reconcissance helicopter that had trespassed on the DPRK. In 1998 the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il had the KPA general staff adopt the December 2nd statement " We will answer the US aggression forces challenges with an annihilating blow" in response to the US imperialists announcement of their "Operation Plan 5027" to invade the DPRK.
The Bush fascist regime in the US declared the DPRK to be part of an "axis of evil " , an "outpost of tyranny " and a target for pre emptive nuclear strike. Leader comrade Kim Jong Il led the DPRK to make sledgehammer blows in the war without gunshots against the US imperialists. First the DPRK restarted its nuclear power industry that had been frozen for years, then on the 10th of January 2003 it announced its withdrawal from the one sided "Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty " and organised anti US imperialist rallies. On the 9th of October 2006 , the DPRK conducted its first scientific test of a nuclear deterrent. 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5,4 , 3 2 1 ... and a flash and history was made the DPRK joined the ranks of world nuclear powers. Thanks to the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il's Songun revolutionary leadership Korea which had been invaded and colonised by Japan due to the fact that had no military power to speak became a socialist military power of Juche standing tall and proud in the far east.
The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il wrote many works defending socialism from the fierce ideological onslaught of the imperialists , reactionaries and modern revisionists. Works such as "Our Socialism Centred on the Masses Shall Not Perish " " The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party " " On Some Problems of the Ideological Foundation of Socialism" "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable " and " Giving Priority to Ideological Workis Essential for Accomplishing Socialism " " strongly defended socialism and deeply analyzed the causes of the frustration of socialism thus charting the way forward for the international
communist movement and the world socialist forces to win victory. Leader comrade Kim Jong Il wrote
"The
collapse of socialism in many countries was an outcome of the conspiracy and
collusion by the imperialists and counterrevolutionary forces and a result of
the ideological and cultural infiltration of imperialism and of the corrosive
action of Right opportunist ideas. Decisive to the collapse was the role played
by the counterrevolutionary schemes of the renegades of socialism in those
countries. In order to stifle socialism the imperialists have for a long time
been perpetrating every manner of destructive move such as aggression and
pressure, blockade and appeasement; at the same time, they have used as their
stooges the degenerates and traitors to the revolution who appeared in the upper
strata of the communist and working-class movement. As the history of the
international communist movement shows, all the ideological confusion and all
the twists and turns within it are due to the fact that renegades of the
revolution have appeared in its upper strata. In the historical situation in
which socialism had become a powerful material force, the imperialists attached
greater importance to the strategy of undermining it from within and made
vicious attempts to achieve this aim."
Thus he provided a brilliant analysis of the reasons for the cataclysmic events of the late 80s and 90s. Comrade Kim Jong Il took measures to revive the world movement for socialism such as the adoption of the Pyongyang Declaration
"Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism." By ensuring the DPRK kept to the socialist road defying the attempts of the imperialists to stifle socialism the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il provided a strong practical example to the world.
Independence , Songun and socialism which the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il consistently defended throughout his life are also the great legacy that he was bequeathed . The image of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il shines brightly and he will be immortal in the hearts of the Korean people as well the world people aspiring for independence and socialism.
