Regional Organization on Non-existence of Terrorism in DPRK

Regional Organization on Non-existence of Terrorism in DPRK 　 　 Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- The International Alliance of Societies for the Study of the Juche Idea and Songun Policy in East European and Central Asian Regions posted on its Internet homepage on Feb. 25 an article titled "Why does terrorism not exist in the DPRK?" 　 The article noted that many Russians raise questions as to why the issue of terrorism does not exist in the DPRK, adding: 　 Even a single case of terrorism is not allowed in the DPRK. 　 The secret of the eradication of terrorism in the DPRK after its foundation is the single-minded unity of the government and the people and the activities of the Juche-oriented security organs unaffected by bribe, corruption and blackmail. 　 Leader Kim Jong Il clarified that the people′s democratic dictatorship is a powerful weapon of the working class which thoroughly puts down all hues of counter-revolutionary elements opposed to socialism and protects the interests of the popular masses. 　 The catastrophic phenomena that took place in some countries engaged in building socialism one time clearly prove that if public security organs fail to play their important role in the class struggle, the dictatorial function of a socialist state gets paralyzed. 　 The historical experience proves that a socialist state should completely put down the hostile forces′ all sorts of acts of infringing upon the independence of the popular masses by strengthening the dictatorial organs under any circumstances. -

STOP NATO'S AGGRESSION AGAINST LIBYA NOW!!!

STATEMENT OF THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST INDEPENDENT FRONT OF BRITAIN

STOP NATO'S AGGRESSION AGAINST LIBYA NOW!!!

The Anti-Imperialist Independent Front of Britain resolutely condemns the aggression by the colonialist powers assembled in NATO against the Great Socialist Peoples Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,starting from March 19th 2011.We,the anti-imperialists of Britain consider that the affairs of the Libyan people can only be determined by the citizens of Libya themselves, not by international conferences conducted in either London,Paris or Washington DC.

On September 1st, 1969 the Libyan people overthrew the client regime of neo-colonialism headed by King Idris and went on a course of genuine independence. Under the leadership of Mummar Gaddafi, Libya was transformed from a barren feudal land into a country with free education and universal health care. Libya today has eliminated the blights of illiteracy and poverty. Women since the revolution of 1969 have achieved complete equality with their male counterparts in Libyan society.

Far from being a dictatorship, Mummar Gaddafi has evolved a system of direct democracy under the present system of the Jamahiriya( State Of The Masses ). All aspects of Libyan society have been administered under the guidance of the Peoples Conferences and the Peoples Committees.In the area of foreign policy the Libyan Green Revolution has had a consistently anti-imperialist record, assisting all manner of national liberation movements across the world. The Libyan Leader Gaddafi has stood for the cause of Arab unity and has been a major influence in the building of the African Union.

Since the time of the nationalisation of Libya's oil assets,the imperialist countries have plotted the downfall of Gaddafi and the Libyan Revolution by any means necessary. Back in the 1980s the Reagan Administration launched air strikes using F1-11 fighter bombers,even killing the baby daughter of Mummar Gaddifi the during this bombing raid. The United States,Britain and France have a long record of hostility towards the Al Fateh Revolution and have had a desire to re-colonise Libya.

The concepts of independence,territorial integrity and national sovereignty have been utterly disregarded by the UN Security Council Resolution 1972.Whatever social and political system the Libyan people choose to have,international forums hosted in London are not the place for this kind of decision to be made.The future of the Libyan people must be determined by the people of that country.It is the height of hypocrisy for certain Middle Eastern absolute monarchies and theocracies to lecture Libya about human rights and democracy.

Bully Boy tactics cannot be allow to prevail in the area of diplomacy and in shaping Libya's destiny. NATO's guided missiles and precision bombs have been reigning terror upon the population of Tripoli,Misrata and other Libyan cities and villages. As with NATO 's other campaign of terror against the Republic of Serbia in 1999, civil installations and civilians are seen as legitimate targets by the imperialist air-forces. Any invasion attempt of Libya under whatever pretexts by NATO and its Arab puppets would lead to complete bloodshed.

The Anti-Imperialist Independent Front of Britain calls upon all peace campaigners and anti-imperialists activists to resist this outright aggression by NATO upon Libya and to help curb the outrageous interference into the country's internal matters by the neo-colonialists. We, the proponents of the ideals of Independence and Anti-imperialism in Britain, urgently demand a halt to this NATO attack against Libya and for the United Kingdom to stop its actions in support of this cosmopolitan-led offensives on Libya.

HANDS OFF LIBYA!!!

LONG LIVE THE GREAT LIBYAN ARAB PEOPLES SOCIALIST JAMAHIRIYA!

VICTORY TO THE LIBYAN PEOPLE!

Philip Green the capitalist tax dodger parasite

It was noticable that anti capitalist groups and people like UKUNCUT have targetted Topshop owned by capitalist Philip Green.Green has an officially declared wealth of £4.9 billion and has been exposed as a massive tax dodger.Green is also part of the cosmopolitan  capitalist elite.

No to the Gorbachov Gala!

The "Gorbachov Gala " concert with its entry price of £399 per ticket-which is over 6 times
weekly dole money,4 times the normal old age pension and more than the average weekly
wage for workers,is an insult to the working people of Britain.This gala to celebrate the life of a a third rate traitor is being held at a time when benefits are being cut ,wages are frozen and prices are soaring.This is the ruling class thanking a treacherous revisionist turncoat for his work in destroying socialism and denying hope of a better future for millions of workers in the world.
Gorbachov was the ultimate traitor,a traitor who destroyed the country and party that he
was the leader of ,such an act has no parallel in history.Gorbachov's treachery plunged the Soviet people into the abyss of poverty and misery.Much is said about the "victims of Stalinism" but 100s of 1000s died in inter ethnic conflicts that arose after Gorbachov
destroying socialism and dissolving the USSR.

Gorbachov sold the fate of the Soviet people and indeed the international working class
for dollars and to be rewarded with an event like. this.What a judas !

It is no surprise that an event like this is not being held in Moscow or any other former
socialist country but here in London the capital of the world's oldest imperialist power
However ,workers of London say that he is not welcome here.Gorbachov should be
sent back to the former USSR to face trial.

Down with Gorbachov !
Long Live Socialism
Long Live the ideas of the October socialist revolution.

Report of March for the Alternative Saturday 26th March

I attended the TUC march along with my daughter.We met up with an old friend from
Southampton and his friends at Waterloo station.We had intended to go and meet up with the For Bolshevism comrades at Cleopatra's Needle but this was defeated by the police who for reasons known to themselves blocked the Hungerford footbridge,the most easiest and direct routes to the start of the march at Victoria embankment.We had to walk along the south bank to Waterloo bridge. Hundreds of people did the same so there was a long wait to get on the bridge and then slow progress to the other side.It took about an hour to do this.The police then had blocked the stairs down to the road and also blocked side roads off the Strand leading to the embankment.Perversely the police and stewards directed marchers to turn right along the strand in the completely opposite direction to what we had expected to go ! The police neglected to stop or divert traffic so the road got blocked unintentionally.We then .finally reached the start of the march on Embankment.
There were lots of colourful trade union banners and placard.Lots of ordinary working people some with small children had joined the march. We saw firefighters on the march either in their red FBU t shirts or in uniform.We even saw Nepalese Gurkhas marching.There was an array of left groups on the march or by the side,the different Trotskyite group with the awful counter revolutionary SWP having a big presence but also the stodgy Trotskyite Socialist Party.We saw ex MP Dave Nellist making a speech first at embankment then at Hyde Park(must have had his own helicopter).The revisionist "Morning Star" pulled off a coup by getting the trade unions to sponsor free copies of it.
Although the "Morning Star" had good layout and good writing style I noticed it basically advocated reformist ideas and called for support for the Labour party.

We found ourselves in need of certain facilities so headed for Charing Cross station.We then rejoined it at Traflagar Square.We spotted the AUCPB red flag but could not get across the road to join it.So we got back on the march.At last we got into Hyde Park about 4 hours after starting.Here we encountered the CPGBML at the entrance to Hyde Park I said hello to Zane quickly.
I would say about 1 million or just under went.Mirror newspaper say 500,000 and BBC say 400,000.It is an achievement for so many workers in a country like the UK , noted for apathy,passivity and conservatism , to march.

Getting home proved difficult.We thought we could catch the central line and change to the Jubilee line but the police would let people in the station. We tried to get a no 6 bus down to Charing Cross but no buses. So we decided to walk. We encoutered riot police at Oxford Circus and in Regent street.At one point we panicked a bit when we saw them behind us. Some of the police wore nazi style light blue flat caps.At Piccadilly the cops had blocked Shaftesbury Avenue.We could saw marchers still marching on Piccadilly including a marcher with a Starry Plough Irish republican socialist flag. We finally got down to Charing Cross and got a train.On the train we learnt that the Ritz and Fortnum and Mason had been stormed.Apparently banks were attacked and also Topshop which belongs to tax evading Zionist capitalist exploiter Philip Green

Yaoyinggou Meeting

Yaoyinggou Meeting

Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- March 27 is the 76th anniversary of the Yaoyinggou meeting of military and political carders of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA). On this occasion, the Korean people are looking back upon great feats of President Kim Il Sung in leading the anti-Japanese revolution to victory under the banner of Juche, the banner of independence. On March 27, Juche 24 (1935), the President convened the meeting in Yaoyinggou, Wangqing County of China and put forward a new strategic policy of relinquishing the guerrilla zones and launching out the KPRA units in wide areas. At that time, the Japanese imperialists were encircling the guerrilla zones with huge troops for "punitive operations". Nevertheless, the Left adventurists ignored the change in situation and indiscreetly persisted in defense of the guerrilla zones. Their position was as foolish as waiting for death. The President made a clear-cut analysis of the situation at the meeting and set forth the afore-said policy to bridge over the severe crisis and bring about a fresh upsurge in the anti-Japanese revolution. The justness of the policy was clearly proved through the ensuing development of the anti-Japanese national liberation struggle as a whole. After the voluntary dissolution of the guerrilla zones, the KPRA started large-unit activities in south and north Manchuria and wide areas of Korea to overshadow the enemy's numerical and technical superiority. During the activities, the KPRA grew larger and the advance of small units and political operatives into the homeland became frequent.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Denounces U.S. Military Attack on Libya

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Denounces U.S. Military Attack on Libya

Pyongyang, March 22 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA Tuesday as regards the U.S. military attack on Libya: The U.S. launched a military attack on Libya in collusion with some Western countries on March 19. It openly interfered in the internal affairs of Libya, sparking off a civil war, and then cooked up a deceptive resolution by abusing the authority of the UN Security Council. It finally perpetrated indiscriminate armed intervention in the country, going beyond the limits of the resolution. The DPRK strongly denounces this as a wanton violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent state and a hideous crime against humanity in gross breach of the dignity of the Libyan people and their right to existence. Such war action can never be justified and should be halted at once. The world is witnessing almost everyday the miserable death of a great many peaceable citizens and unspeakable disasters caused by two wars launched by the U.S. in the new century. Not content with this, the U.S. sparked a fresh war disaster in order to bring about a regime change in the country incurring its displeasure under the spurious signboard of "protecting civilians" and put the natural resources of Libya under its control. The U.S. does not hesitate to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and launch armed invasion by abusing the UN name in disregard of the sovereignty of independent states. Such high-handed and arbitrary practices of the U.S. have become a root cause of harassing world peace and stability at present. The present Libyan crisis teaches the international community a serious lesson. It was fully exposed before the world that "Libya′s nuclear dismantlement" much touted by the U.S. in the past turned out to be a mode of aggression whereby the latter coaxed the former with such sweet words as "guarantee of security" and "improvement of relations" to disarm itself and then swallowed it up by force. It proved once again the truth of history that peace can be preserved only when one builds up one′s own strength as long as high-handed and arbitrary practices go on in the world. The DPRK was quite just when it took the path of Songun and the military capacity for self-defence built up in this course serves as a very valuable deterrent for averting a war and defending peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. -0-

GORBACHEV IS NOT WELCOME IN BRITAIN A STATEMENT BY THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST INDEPENDENCE FRONT OF BRITAIN

GORBACHEV IS NOT WELCOME IN BRITAIN

A STATEMENT BY THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST INDEPENDENCE FRONT OF BRITAIN

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, the former General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party and ex-President of the USSR, has been invited to a charity gala at the Royal Albert Hall on March 30th 2011 as, the guest of honour, for his services to humanity. Gorbachev 's services to mankind will be celebrated by the aristocracy,celebrities, politicians, billionaires and multi-billionaires. These plutocrats make their fortunes out of the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of working people throughout the world. It is an indication of the kind of audience who will attend this event with tickets for it ranging in price from £300 to £400. To the low-paid and people on benefits this kind of money would represent a month's salary.

M.S.Gorbachev is generally regarded by the cosmopolitan elite as being a saint for delivering the world from the menace of "hard line" communism and bringing peace, free market economics and democracy to Russia and Eastern Europe. Gorbachev is seen by the imperialists as the man who helped the West to win the cold war.

The peoples of the former USSR, the citizens of the ex socialists countries, the Korean,the Cuban and Libyan peoples and indeed all those are struggling for independence against imperialism, have a fundamentally different perspective of Mr. Gorbachev and his deeds as compared to his Albert Hall hosts.Mr.Gorbachev will be remembered by history as the figure who was responsible for the reversal of the People's Independent cause and the apparent triumph of neo-liberalism,

Gorbachev's greatest crime was the wilful destruction of the Soviet Union, of the first Workers and Peasants State.The USSR, whatever its later faults resulting from the decisions of the 20th CPSU Congress, was an inspiration for all those struggling for Peace and Social Justice. We, the advocates of independence, will forever consider the betrayal of the legacy of the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917 by Gorbachev as the most despicable act carried out in the 20th century.

As a consequence of Gorbachev actions, there were various bloody ethnic conflicts between different Soviet republics and a ferocious civil war in Yugoslavia. Perestroika and Glasnost resulted in the wealth and power of Russia and Eastern Europe being concentrated into the hands of a few mafia bosses, while millions of working people in the former Socialist community countries have gone into poverty and have been forced by their circumstances into emigration to Western Europe for employment. Life expectancy in the Soviet Union during the 1980s was 75 years, now it is something around 55 years in the Russian Federation and CIS states.

The Anti-Imperialist Independent Front Of Britain calls upon all Marxist-Leninists, Socialists, Trade Unionists, Peace Campaigners and Anti-imperialist Activists to boycott, picket and protest this event in celebration of this worst kind of class,anti-people traitor. We who have anti-imperialism and independence as our guiding principles must make the message loud and clear: Mikhail Gorbachev, you are not welcome here in Britain and go back to your imperialist, Zionist and modern revisionist sponsors. Mikhail Gorbachev's visit to Britain on March 30th 2011 is in the interests of the military-industrial complex, and not in the interests of progressive people and so must be vigorously opposed!

LONG LIVE MARXISM-LENINISM AND THE JUCHE IDEA!

Sharp Contrast between Two Social System

Sharp Contrast between Two Social Systems

Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- The Korean youth, out of their sound view of life, are devoting their energy and wisdom to the worthwhile effort for the prosperity for the country. 　 They are active in the army, industrial establishments, farms, construction sites, universities and scientific research centers. 　 Many of them enjoy public favor for what they did for the country and the people. Many monuments were named after Chongnyon (youth). 　 But in the capitalist society, young people have become the cause of social trouble. 　 A 22-year-old man shot and killed six people and wounded thirteen in Arizona State, the United States, in early January. 　 Many young people in capitalist countries are addicted to alcohol and drug, with no ideal and ambition, and commit suicide. 　The facts offer a striking illustration of the fundamental contrast between the two social systems. -0-

Anniversary of Arson Attack on Pusan "American Cultural-Service" Observe

Anniversary of Arson Attack on Pusan "American Cultural-Service" Observed

Pyongyang, March 19 (KCNA) -- It is 29 years since the arson attack was mounted on the Pusan "American Cultural-Service" in south Korea in protest against the United States′ military occupation and colonial rule over it. 　Entering the 1980s the U.S. imperialists instigated the south Korean military fascist group to turn Kwangju where the struggle for democracy against fascism raged into a sea of blood, dampening the desire of the south Koreans from all walks of life for independence, democracy and reunification. This laid bare their true colors as man-killers and aggressors. 　 Mun Pu Sik and Kim Un Suk of Pusan Koryo Theological College, Ryu Sung Ryol and Choe In Sun of Pusan National University and other patriotic youth and students set fire to the Pusan "American Cultural-Service," an annex to the Pusan office of the U.S. embassy in south Korea on March 18, 1982. They, at the same time, distributed hundreds of leaflets around a theatre, department store and two other places in the city. 　 The leaflets contained such slogans as "Yankee go home", "No U.S. neo-colonialism", "The attack on the American Cultural-Service is just a beginning of the anti-U.S. campaign" and "Let citizens in Pusan turn out in a nation-wide sacred struggle, holding a torch of anti-U.S. struggle." They greatly encouraged the citizens. 　 The arson attack was an eruption of the south Koreans′ pent-up anti-U.S. sentiment and their grudge against it. It was a courageous action as it gave a fresh momentum to the anti-U.S. struggle for independence. 　 This attack triggered off actions to set fire to the "American Cultural-Service", the U.S. embassy and other colonial ruling institutions in various parts of south Korea and occupy them and sit-in strikes. This was also followed by dynamic actions against the U.S. imperialists′ war exercises against the DPRK and their moves to interfere in the internal affairs of south Korea. 　The south Korean people are now turning out in a nation-wide anti-U.S. struggle, chanting the same slogans as shouted by the participants in the Pusan "American Cultural-Service" arson attack.

FULL AUCPB STATEMENT-HANDS OF LIBYA!

FULL AUCPB STATEMENT-HANDS OF LIBYA!

Statement By The Central Committee Of The AUCPB

HANDS OFF LIBYA!

On the night of March 18, the controlled by the U.S. UN Security Council adopted a resolution authorizing the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya. This means that from now on, warplanes of Muammar Gaddafi have no right to strike at the "opposition" (in fact: bandits who had seized the government arms warehouses and are leading an armed struggle against the lawful government of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya). In addition, the UN Security Council resolution calls for "all necessary measures" to protect the civilian population of Libya from the forces of al-Gaddafi (rebels with arms in their hands – is that a civilian population?) This wording actually allows international military intervention to take place.

Participants in the military operation (aggression) in Libya (they claim to be the United States, France, Great Britain, a number of Arab states) in the first stage are to use cruise missiles and combat aircraft to destroy command posts of the Libyan air defence. U.S. Navy ships, such as the aircraft carrier Enterprise and the amphibious assault ship Kearsarge will provide artillery and air support.

10 members voted in the UN Security Council with the necessary nine votes in favour of the resolution proposed by the United States, Britain, France and Lebanon. Five countries abstained from the vote: Russia, China, India, Brazil and Germany.

This resolution unties the hands of the imperialist hawks for aggression against Libya. France and Britain, according to the diplomats of these countries are ready to carry out strikes on the positions of government troops of Muammar Gaddafi.

In turn, officials of the Libyan Government said that the resolution adopted by the U.N. Security Council making air strikes on positions of government troops legitimate, jeopardizes the country's unity and indirectly encourages Libyans to kill each other.
Shaken by crisis, the imperialist world for the sake of renewing its existence, is trying to ignite the fire of world war in different parts of the globe. In Libya, the international gendarme - United States, fighter for "human rights", is attempting to repeat the scenario of the destruction of Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan. In a unipolar world, which become such because of the dismemberment of the USSR, unfortunately there is no force capable of confronting the criminal policy of the United States – the world dictator, brazenly ignoring the fundamental provisions of international law on the full sovereignty of each independent state.

As you know, in September 1969 after the revolution led by Muammar Gaddafi, in Libya the monarchy was overthrown, the monarchy which helpfully entitled foreign companies to shamelessly plunder Libya and for a song to take away its national wealth - oil. The new revolutionary government after overthrowing the rotten regime, strongly indicated its desire to achieve national independence and the elimination of foreign domination and to implement progressive economic and social transformation. Britain was forced to evacuate their military bases in March 1970 from the territory of Libya and the U.S. - in June 1970.

As a result of the transformations, the Government of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, headed by its leader Gaddafi, put the country's oil resources in the service of the Libyan people. In recent years, Libya has firmly ranked first in terms of human development in Africa and has the highest life expectancy on the continent. This is the most advanced country of all countries on the African continent.

However, the country needed a large number of foreign workers to carry out ambitious plans for economic growth and social development. The Libyan government has provided jobs to hundreds of thousands of foreign workers - Egyptian, Tunisian, Chinese and others. Today, most of them (for good pay) along with a small part of sold out to the US Libyan intellectuals and drug addicted youth have been used by an extensive network of foreign intelligence services (primarily American) as the "opposition" in an attempt to overthrow the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. World imperialism needs Libyan oil, the oil of the highest quality, and gas. The rhetoric of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton about "democracy" and "human rights", are lies and misinformation, propagated by all the foreign media regarding events in Libya, have the same goal - to overthrow the anti-American independent Muammar Gaddafi, and to lay their hands on their wealth of Libya, putting at the head of the country their own loyal puppet. But, as witnesses say, the majority of Libyans support their leader.

Huge amounts of money dumped into the laps of the "opposition" by the West, have allowed the opposition for a time, to establish control over the east of the country and some western areas. However, to capture entire Libya by means of "quick wins" and another "colour revolution" failed. Gaddafi and his entourage were able to mobilize all the loyalist part of the country and launch an offensive against pro-Western forces "insurgents." As a result, the "rebels" were forced out of major refining centres of Libyan oil and the port of Ras Lanuf and Marsa el-Brega, cities Es-Zawiya, Sirte and Adzhdabiya, and also an assault on the third city of Libya, Misurata, was launched and government forces are preparing an operation to free the main centre of the pro-Western rebels - the country's second city - Benghazi.

Seeing that the sweet dream of owning Libyan oil is becoming unattainable, the U.S. pushed through on March 18 this year via the UN Security Council, a resolution, paving the way for predatory attacks on a defiant state. The Italian government has already announced that it is ready to provide military bases to implement the UN Security Council resolution adopted, and the military air base in Sicily, which is used by the 6 th U.S. Navy, the most closely located to Libya, a NATO base, is preparing to conduct military operations ...

The All-Union Communist Party Bolsheviks strongly opposes the impending aggression of NATO forces led by the USA against sovereign Libya.

We fully support with the people of Libya and its leader, Muammar Gaddafi, fully support their just struggle for freedom and independence of their country!

We demand an end to the inhumane preparation of international imperialism, headed by the U.S. of new aggression against Libya now!

Hands Off Libya!

We urge the entire international community, not wishing to burn in the hell of a third world war, to block the path of the imperialist madmen, trying to rekindle the fires of war in North Africa!

ASSPUK,JISGE and UK KFA slam "Homefront" anti DPRK propaganda

ASSSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF SONGUN POLITICS UK

The UK Korean Friendship Association along with the Juche Idea Study Group of England and ASSPUK wish to issue a statement of protest against the US imperialists computer game "Homefront".This game paints the DPRK as the aggressors.Such propaganda is childish and absurd.The DPRK has never invaded any country,its troops are not in other countries but the US keeps its military,navy and airforce in south Korea,thousands of miles from the shores of the US.It is the US that since 1945 intervened in more than 150 countries and being involved in dozens of conflicts.The US has a massive network overseas military bases straddling the globe.

"Homefront" could be dismissed as simply a moneymaking ploy by the giant US capitalist
electronics monopolies and as crude and banal propaganda,indeed it might actually increase interest in the DPRK,however it should be noted that as part of the marketing effort for the game anti DPRK rallies have been held in the US.Thus the "Homefront" game aims at inciting war pyschosis against the DPRK.It aims to make young people view the DPRK as an aggressive enemy threatening them and prepare them for the idea that they might have to fight in conflict against the DPRK.

The game slanders the idea,system and policy of the DPRK.The DPRK's foreign policy is underpinned by the concepts of independence,peace and friendship.It has no intention to invade and conquer the US mainland.The DPRK weapons are for self defence.They are weapons of justice defending the independence of the DPRK and its dignified socialist system.

We call on people to reject the vile and false propaganda of "Homefront" ,we call on progressive and peace loving people to fight the lies about the DPRK.If you support the DPRK please join the UK KFA (email uk@korea-dpr.com)

On Anarchism and Ultra Democracy-KIM IL SUNG

Ultra-democracy, no matter what specific forms it took, was an opportunist trend derived from petit bourgeois ideology. It was, in effect, an anarchic tendency which had nothing in common with the revolution­ary ideology of the working class.

Anarchism, a reflection of petit bourgeois ideology, derives from an extreme hatred for authority in general and a resistance to the political power of the bourgeoisie in particular. It attempted to introduce anarchic disorder and immoderate conduct into society, extolling ultra-democracy, radical freedom and self-indulgence.

Some radical ideologists, who represented the distress of the petit bourgeoisie, which was economically bankrupt and politically disenfran­chised under the pressures of capitalist mass production and the political dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, attempted to lead the masses in opposition to state power in general by alleging that the political power of the capitalist class should be overthrown by violence and anarchism established.

The so-called “theory of anarchism” of such ideologists as the French petit bourgeois, Proudhon, and Bakunin and Kropotkin in Russia, which found expression in an extreme hatred for political power and unreasonable demands for social equality, was a destructive ideological trend which made it impossible to rouse the working masses to the strug­gle against the repression of the capitalists, to safeguard the gains of the revolution and establish truly popular and democratic systems in those countries which had overthrown the dictatorship of the exploiting class; it was condemned by the impartial judgement of history.

Nevertheless, for some time this ideological trend gave the petit bourgeoisie illusions about ultra-democracy and unrestricted freedom and it spread to some extent to the regions and countries where capitalist industry had not been developed on a large scale and the petit bourgeois and peasant mentality remained dominant. This is the major reason why quite a few people thought that anarchism made certain contributions to the struggle against capitalism.

Some working-class parties enlisted anarchic forces in the struggle to overthrow the reactionary regime of the landlords and bourgeoisie. It is well-known that the Soviet government cooperated with Makhno and his clique, an anarchic collective in the Ukraine, during the Civil War.

In the early days, when ultra-democracy emerged in the guerrilla army, anarchism still existed as a political idea that served a certain social stratum, the petit bourgeoisie in particular, as an expression of their revolutionary character, and it inflicted tangible harm on the revolu­tionary theory and practice of the working class.

This does not mean, however, that the only form taken by ultra-democracy was anarchism. The activities of the revisionists who emerged in the international working class movement also had elements in common with ultra-democracy. Under the cloak of democracy, they promoted bourgeois liberalism, anarchism, immoderacy and disorder, and they gave rise to social confusion and self-indulgence. In the light of this experience, we cannot but conclude that there is an ideological community between extreme bourgeois democracy and anarchism.

CIA planned the overthrow of the Gaddafi - Libyan Ambassador to Ghan

CIA planned the overthrow of the Gaddafi - Libyan Ambassador to Ghana
15.03.2011 19:37

The Libyan government says it found evidence that agents of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British military intelligence (MI-6) have entered into a conspiracy to overthrow the regime of Gaddafi.
Libyan Ambassador to Ghana, Dr. Ali Gadban made the announcement at a press conference in Accra on Friday, March 11, 2011
He said that the Libyan government intercepted and recorded telephone conversations between the Libyan rebels and the CIA and MI-6.
He also made a statement that Western and Arab news organizations, especially CNN, BBC, Al-jazeera and Reuters - all are members of a large plan, promoted by Western countries in order to deceive the world and cause hostility to the regime of Gaddafi.
Dr. Ali Gadban said: "They are all traitors and they transferring lies to you. I say this not because I like to talk, but because I have concrete facts, we have a record of messages between the CIA and MI-6 agents. I've read newspapers here in Accra and this is regrettable, since most of them cite BBC, CNN, Reuters ".
He then asked: "Where is the voice of Africa, we must raise our voice. Those who cite these news organizations, ask yourselves if they have their own plans - certainly they have."

THE JUCHE IDEA AND THE LESSONS OF THE LIBYAN COUNTER REVOLUTION

THE JUCHE IDEA AND THE LESSONS OF THE LIBYAN COUNTER REVOLUTION

A couple of years ago, a number of senior officials, including the author of the Diary, had seen with their own eyes a number of towns and cities in the coastal area of Libya. During a discussion of practical issues of interstate cooperation, a personal meeting with the leader of the Libyan Revolution Muammar al-Gaddafi was requested. After addressing these issues and the transfer of greetings and best wishes of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il to the Arab revolutionary Gaddafi, the conversation turned to a lengthy discussion of ideological and theoretical problems. Everything that was examined on that day has been confirmed by events at this historic juncture.
It is obvious that the causes of the counterrevolutionary riots in Libya should be sought not only in external forces, as rightly pointed out by the leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro, but in the first place - in the collapse of ideological work among the population, and the substitution of party and political work to rehabilitate people, by way of senseless ideological dogmatism and purely financial incentives.
Herein lies the fundamental flaw in the so-called "third world theory" set forth in the "Green Book" by Muammar al-Qaddafi, and one that for a long time was pointed out to him personally by President Kim Il Sung .
The "Third World theory" is influenced by anarchism, by postulating the elimination of state and party, as such, and the immediate transition to general self-rule in the form of people's congresses and people's committees. In view of this point, the question of support of the subject of the revolution has remained unresolved, which from a scientific point of view is always the totality of the masses, the Party, army and the Leader.
Under the people’s leader Gaddafi, the Libyan masses reached such standard of living that, let us say, the population of the former Soviet republics seemed completely unattainable. The citizens were so spoiled that obtaining through the system of people's committees, people's congresses and charities all that they needed, they were not able to work in production, preferring to live off a significant benefit.
On the income from so-called "oil and gas," Muammar Al-Gaddafi, I must say, built comfortable multi-storey homes and handed out apartments that were rent and electricity free to all those who wished. Petrol in the country was dirt cheap, and in every family there were 2 or 3 new cars purchased. Newly weds were at the same time immediately given tens of thousands of dollars. Education abroad for children of any family was provided free of charge. Medicine, education were completely free of charge, and an incredible number of European doctors were imported into the country for the highly skilled treatment of the people. Basic foodstuffs were purchased for next to nothing, and the so-called "business" of major taxes, VAT-s and other levies, abolished.
In the absence of a stable system of education of the people, this fair social policy of Muammar Al-Gadhafi created a mass of parasites, lacking world outlook, and by the logic of class struggle, they were bound to descend to the positions of counter-revolution – imagining themselves as "potential millionaires", targeting their goals to the level of wealth of so-called "Sheikhs" and "kings" of the Persian (Arabian) Gulf.
One should openly state, that it is very rare to see a Libyan working in Libya.
During the daytime, almost the entire population of the capital Tripoli is relaxing by the sea. A giant beach cuts the Libyan coast from end to end, and is a continuous chain of bungalows, attractions, “kebab stalls" filled with people in the midst of every working day.
In the city of Tripoli one often face situations when you can not buy basic things due to the fact that shops are closed and their employees are too lazy to even sell their products. Based on extensive experience of working in other parts of the Arab region, it has to be said that Libya is one of the few Arab countries (if not the only country), where street vendors do not try to constantly haggle with the buyer. It shows in the first place, lack of desire to engage in any work, even including trade, customary to Arab masses on the basis of national identity.
Basic material production culture in Libya is made by the hands of foreigners.
Foreign workers and office staff support the excellent infrastructure all created through the efforts of the leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. For example, domestic flights are often carried out by Ugandan and other airlines.
There is no doubt that the leader of the Libyan Revolution Muammar Al-Gadhafi has glorified his country, and has done much for its residents. A section of the masses by virtue of a political mistake, did not appreciate such a "noble thing" and began to believe the Internet fraud and religious obscurantism of the fanatical sinusitis sects. By the way, the Internet is everywhere and in some places, free, and was developed specifically by the leader Gaddafi. Outside the ideological education of every person from birth, this led to the Arab masses for many hours to use this network not for self-development but, mainly for the consumption of video productions of a sexual nature (pornography).
We hope that events will give the possibility of such an outstanding leader as Muammar al-Gaddafi, to even more firmly fix the political situation, to eliminate system errors in order to promote further the march of the Libyan revolution on the right path of independence.
Ideological work to educate and rehabilitate the population can not be conducted on a case by case occasional basis. Education is a continuous process, and it ends only when the person being educated, dies. Lessons have been taught by the temporary defeat of socialism in some countries of Eastern Europe, and the lesson is being taught by the Libyan counter-revolution now.

REMEMBRANCE DAY OF J.V. STALIN

REMEMBRANCE DAY OF J.V. STALIN
On March 5, 1953 Joseph Stalin died - an outstanding leader of the Bolshevik Party and the multinational Soviet state, the leader of the world proletariat and a faithful disciple and successor of the cause of Lenin,and Supreme Commander of the Soviet Armed Forces.

Stalin –was the greatest organizer of the socialist state, not knowing exploitation of man by man, social and national oppression. Stalin, uniting the people of the Soviet Union in a friendly and fraternal family, in a historically short period of time brought Russia to the forefront of industrial, scientific, technological and cultural progress. In years of severe trials of 1941-45, Stalin was able to mobilize all the forces of the people and defeat the enemy, defend freedom, honor and independence of our Soviet homeland.

Stalin for us today is our battle flag that indicates to us the right path of struggle, strengthening our faith in victory, giving us the strength to overcome any difficulties.

With what an incredible rage and anger the ruling authorities are trying to erase from the consciousness of working people the fond memory of Stalin, to discredit him and the entire period of Soviet history. Most of all they are scared by the growth of class and national consciousness of the people, first of all - the Russian people. After all, Stalin's name is merged with the heroic pages of the struggle of the peoples of the USSR for their liberation, the struggle for socialism, which is now a living example in the struggle of workers around the world for their rights.

But the ever-increasing growth of the prestige of Stalin in our society and the world will not be stopped by anyone. Just like they can not stop the course of human history, which is now moving from capitalist barbarism that put mankind on the brink of death, to communist society, which once and for all will put an end to war and exploitation and ensure peace and happiness on Earth.

On this day, March 5, all the progressive people of the world honor the cherished memory of Joseph Stalin.

93-rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE RED ARMY MARKED IN RUSSIAN CITY OF KRASNOYARSK

On February 23, the anniversary of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army in Krasnoyarsk was marked by a rally organized by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), which was also attended by the Bolsheviks of the All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB).

Besides being a public holiday, the meeting was also dedicated to the memory of Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Matrosov, the monument around which gathered participants of the event. Speakers at the rally that were members of the CPRF largely cursed the present authorities for their attempts to "destroy the invincible Soviet Army."

Thanks to a previous agreement made to be allowed speak at the meeting, the microphone was given to the representative of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, E. Fatyanova. But no sooner had the megaphone been handed to the representative of the Bolsheviks, some nervous person from the back of the crowd started screaming out something like she "couldn’t hear”, apparently hoping to disrupt the speech. However, the attempt failed.

In her speech, E. Fatyanova highlighted the fact that the current collapse of the Russian Army is a deliberate policy of the capitalists, in preserving their dominance and clearing the way into the country for their "allies" of the imperialist U.S., and noted that by these actions of the Russian ruling elite, they are "digging a grave” for the exploitative system, by causing growing discontent in the ranks of the military.
At the rally were distributed AUCPB newspapers Serp I Molot ("Hammer and Sickle"), Raboche-Krestyanskaya Pravda ("Workers 'and Peasants' Truth"), and Revolyutsia ("Revolution.")

ABUSES OF SOCIALISM ARE INTOLERABLE

KIM JONG IL

ABUSES OF SOCIALISM ARE INTOLERABLE

Discourse Published in Kulloja, Official Magazine of the Central Committee

of the Worker’s Party of Korea

March l, 1993

At a time when the imperialists and reactionaries are resorting to unprecedentedly vicious schemes against socialism, many misleading statements are being made about socialism. The enemies of socialism are abusing it, calling it “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” and are distorting the facts, pretending that the setback suffered by socialism is because its nature is such.

The claim that socialism is “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” is not in essence different from the pernicious anti-socialist propaganda which the imperialists have conducted since the first appearance of socialism in the world. The imperialists have always said that socialism is an inhuman society in which there is not freedom or democracy. The terms “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” are a repetition of the imperialists’ false propaganda against socialism that uses new words.

The democratic idea which a long time ago advocated freedom, equality and human rights, in opposition to feudal despotism, was transformed by the capitalist class into bourgeois democracy, which imposed and defended exploitation and subordination by capital. The imperialists made every possible effort to embellish bourgeois democracy, calling it “liberal democracy”; however, they could not conceal its falsity and reactionary nature, nor could they remove from the minds of the popular masses their aspiration and longing for socialism which would provide them with genuine freedom and democracy. Nevertheless, the sophistry of its being “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding”, a repetition of the imperialists’ vicious propaganda against socialism, has in recent years caused ideological confusion among the people in many socialist countries. The class enemies have even led socialism to collapse by fanning this ideological confusion and misleading public opinion. 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. In accordance with this strategy employed by the imperialists the abuses of socialism were taken to an unprecedented level and, at the same time, the criticism of socialism as being “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” came into being. That such censure is a product of the imperialists’ anti-socialist strategy has been proved by the fact that all the criminal acts aimed at destroying socialism with this as a pretext have been committed with the support of the imperialists and under their manipulation. Today the schemes of the renegades to vilify socialism are becoming more heinous and frantic, their aim being to justify their perfidy and check the rebirth of socialism. That they are defaming socialism by calling it “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” even now when socialism has disintegrated and capitalism has revived in many countries serves as clear proof that the renegades of socialism are the stooges of imperialism.

It is sophistry to call socialism “totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding”.

Totalitarianism served as the political idea of fascist dictators. Notorious Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy used totalitarianism as an ideological tool to justify their fascist dictatorship. The fascist dictators stamped out even the most elementary democratic freedom and rights of the masses of the working people and enforced unprecedentedly tyrannical policies, behind the misleading name of “national socialism”, claiming that for the sake of the whole nation and the whole state no working-class movement and no class struggle could be permitted. The reactionary nature of totalitarianism is that the interests of the working people are sacrificed for the sake of the rapacious interests of the reactionary ruling class under the pretence that the individual should be subordinated to the whole. What is meant by the whole in totalitarianism is not the whole of the popular masses but a tiny handful of privileged circles such as monopoly capitalists, major landowners, reactionary bureaucrats and warlords. Calling socialism, under which the popular masses are the masters of everything, “totalitarianism” is, ultimately, a preposterous lie which identifies the most progressive idea that reflects the demands of the popular masses with the reactionary idea of fascist rulers.

Denouncing socialism as being “barracks-like” is also absurd. The social way of life is defined by ideology and varies according to the social system. Socialism is the most progressive of ideas that reflects the intrinsic demands of people, and the socialist system is the most advanced of systems under which the popular masses enjoy an independent and creative life to the full. The restraint of their independence and creativity occurs not under the socialist system but under the capitalist system. Capitalist society, where the working people are the slaves of capital, cannot ensure a fruitful life, independent and creative, for them. Claiming that socialism is “barracks-like” is pernicious propaganda that attempts to turn black into white.

Accusing socialism of being “administrative and commanding” is also unreasonable. In general, the administrative and commanding method of management is an old method of rule that serves the demands of the privileged classes by invoking legal authority in an exploiter society. In capitalist society where the economy is run spontaneously on the principles of the market economy, state and social administration is conducted by the administrative and commanding method and the popular masses, the target of control, are in duty bound to obey administrative orders. Contrary to this, in socialist society the popular masses, who have become the masters of the state and society, hold the position of masters and play the role of masters in the administration. The fundamental characteristics of state and social administration by the popular masses are that priority is given to political work in all activities and superiors assist those under them and cooperate with one another in a comradely manner. This is fundamentally different from the bureaucratic method of management in the old society whereby everything was imposed in accordance with administrative orders. The administrative and commanding method of management which was manifested in socialist practice in the past did not emanate from the essential nature of socialist society but was a legacy of the exploiter society. The renegades of socialism directed the spearhead of their attack against the principle of democratic centralism on the pretext of opposing the “administrative and commanding” method. Democratic centralism is an important principle in the activities of a socialist state. In socialist state activities democracy and centralism are organically combined, and herein lies an important characteristic of socialist state activities. Those who created a chaotic situation while emasculating centralism in the name of “democracy” destroyed socialism, and they are now openly moving towards bourgeois dictatorship.

This slander against socialism is absurd. But, it has caused ideological confusion among the people, mainly because they are not fully equipped with the socialist idea. Of course, it was not easy to identify the reactionary nature of the slander from the outset, because it was conducted craftily in the guise of socialism. But if a proper yardstick had been prepared by developing and perfecting the socialist theory and if the popular masses had been equipped with socialist idea, they would not have been easily shaken by such sophistry.

If the socialist cause is to be defended and completed, the socialist idea should be developed and perfected constantly and the popular masses should be equipped with it, so that they accept socialism as their unshakable conviction. They will keep faith in socialism only when they are convinced of the justness of the socialist cause.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung created the Juche idea and, on this basis, has developed and perfected the socialist idea. The Juche socialist idea makes it clear that socialist society is the most advanced society where the popular masses are the masters of everything and everything serves them, and that it is a society which develops steadily on the strength of their unity. The socialist cause is just in that the popular masses lead an independent and creative life to the full as the masters of the state and society. Our people have this as their firm conviction, so they are moving steadily along the road of socialism in spite of the anti-socialist storms.

If the former socialist countries had developed and perfected the socialist idea in conformity with the requirements of the times and the developing revolution, and if they had equipped the popular masses with it and thus ensured that they accepted socialism as their firm conviction, the tragic events in which the popular masses, failing to see through the reactionary, corrupt nature of capitalist society and harbouring illusions about it, wavered ideologically and thus frustrated socialism would not have occurred. As experience shows, if we are to defend the cause of socialism and to bring glory to it the socialist idea should be perfected and the popular masses armed with it so that it becomes their firm conviction.

Moreover, we should see to it that the people have an unshakable faith in socialism and regard it as their moral duty to defend it. In the exploiter society the politics of the ruling class runs counter to the ethics of the working masse, whereas the politics and ethics correspond with each other in socialist society where the popular masses are the masters of the state and society. The political and ethical cohesion of the popular masse can only be lasting when socialist ethics is fully prevalent. Socialism strikes deep root in actual life when socialist ethics based on revolutionary comradeship and obligation is established and becomes widespread. Only if this happens can the popular masse fully discharge their responsibilities and role as the masters of socialist society, build socialism successfully, firmly defend the cause of socialism and promote it, whatever the adversity. Betrayers of the revolution appear in the course of socialist construction because they have not made socialism their faith or ethics. The cause of socialism is that of the people and a betrayal of the socialist cause is a betrayal of the people. A betrayal of the people is a manifestation of the greatest lack of ethics. It is the worst manifestation of a lack of ethics for a leader to reject the confidence of party members and the people who have elected him to the leadership of the party and the state. He may only be said to have a little conscience if he resigns from his post because of his lack of ability or leaves the party for some reason.

That those who talked about their loyalty to the cause of socialism in the past have readily become renegades of socialism is, in the long run, due to their failure to make socialism their conviction and ethics. This shows that ideological transformation for all the members of society to make socialism their conviction and ethics is the most important of tasks and should be carried out as a matter of priority in defending and completing the cause of socialism.

Ideological transformation should be conducted in close combination with the practical struggle to build socialism. The major aim of equipping the popular masses with the socialist idea is to build socialism successfully so as to provide them with a more independent and creative life, by relying on the strength of the people who have been awakened in a revolutionary manner. Without socialist construction it is difficult to conduct the work of equipping the popular masse with the socialist idea. It is only when people come to recognize the superiority of socialism through their own lives by successfully building it that they will accept it as vital to them.

The party and state of the working class should concentrate their efforts on displaying the superiority of socialism to the full by building it well.

The essential superiority of socialism lies in the fact that the popular masses are the masters of everything.

For the people to be the masters of everything they must firstly become the masters of politics. Only then can they lead a full social life as befitting masters. Socialist politics is popular politics exercised by the people as its masters. In the society of exploiters politics is, in essence, aimed at ensuring class domination by the exploiting class, and the masses of the working people are merely the objects of politics. In capitalist society the life of the people is spontaneous and led by each individual to maintain his or her own existence. But, in socialist society the people themselves are the masters of politics and organize and conduct all aspects of social life in a uniform manner.

Politics is exercised by certain political organizations. For people in a socialist society to exercise their rights and discharge their responsibilities as the masters of the state and society they must have a political organization which represents their will and interests. The representative of the people’s will and interests in socialist society is the party and government of the working class. In socialist society the working-class party is the supreme political organization and the government is the most comprehensive political organization. The position and role of the popular masses as the masters of state and society in socialist society are guaranteed by the party and government of the working class.

The political organization in a socialist society must conduct its political activities in a manner that suits its nature as the representative of the will and interests of the popular masses. Creating political methods which suit the nature of socialist society is a fundamental condition for realizing politics for the people. Even if a working-class party and socialist government have been formed the popular masses will be unable to exercise their rights and discharge their responsibilities as the genuine masters of politics unless new, socialist political methods are created.

Socialism is an untrodden path and it is extremely difficult and complicated to create new political methods inherent in socialism. In the past many people resorted to the existing theory that politics was defined by the economic system and thought that the problem of managing the state and society would be solved easily once the socialist system was established. Therefore, the problem of creating new political methods commensurate with the nature of socialist society was not solved correctly, and the remnants of the political methods from the old society revived to a considerable extent. That the remnants of the political methods from the old society were not removed from socialist society was also due to an improper understanding of the essence of the socialist political organization which was different from the political organization of the old society. In the past the party was regarded mainly as an organized detachment of a certain class which defended the interests of this class, and as a weapon in the class struggle; government, too, was considered to be a power organ for the dominating class to realize its political domination over the society. Therefore, in the building and activities of the party and government the main attention was paid to enhancing their functions and role as a weapon in the class struggle and as the executor of power. The essence of the working-class party and socialist government lies, above all, in that they serve the people. Only when the working-class party and socialist government adhere to the stand of serving the people can they conduct the class struggle and exercise political power properly to meet the requirements of the popular masses for independence. That they serve the people is the essence and superiority of the working-class party and government which are fundamentally different from the party and government of the exploiting class. In the activities of the working-class party and socialist government serving the people, even the slightest trace of seeking privilege is intolerable. In the past the abuse of power and bureaucracy were evident in socialist practice. This was because the building of the party and government was not conducted properly as required by their mission as servants of the people.

The abuse of power and bureaucracy are products of the anti-socialist idea and expressions of anti-socialist methods. If the mass line is implemented thoroughly under the correct leadership of the working-class party in socialist society so that the popular masses occupy the position of masters of the state and society and play their role as such to the full, it is possible to eliminate the abuse of power and bureaucracy. In order to eliminate the abuse of power and bureaucracy in socialist society, all officials should have the spirit of serving the people faithfully. The slogan “We serve the people!” put up by our Party clearly shows the attitude and stand officials should adopt in dealing with the people and how they should work for the people. Our experience proves that when the ideological education and ideological struggle are conducted vigorously among officials to improve their methods and style of work, it is quite possible to eliminate the abuse of power and bureaucracy which are vestiges of the old society.

Unless ideological education and an ideological campaign are conducted to put an end to the abuse of power and bureaucracy they will be fostered and grow, and not disappear. If the abuse of power and bureaucracy are allowed to grow in socialist society they will alienate the popular masses from the party and state, and the enemies of socialism will exploit this. The situation in those countries in which socialism has collapsed shows this. In every country the people demanded socialism free from the abuse of power and bureaucracy; they did not demand capitalism. But, in some countries the party and government were discredited in the eyes of the people due to the abuse of power and bureaucracy. Taking advantage of this, acts of betrayal were committed in order to instigate people to oppose the socialist ruling parties and socialist power by misleading them with the preposterous slander that socialism was “totalitarianism” and with the promise that they would be provided with “humane and democratic socialism”. What the people have got as a result of the collapse of socialism is not “humane and democratic socialism” but capitalism under which exploitation, oppression and social inequality are dominant and every type of crime and social evil prevails. In those countries where socialism collapsed and capitalism was revived the abuse of power and bureaucracy have not disappeared but have become institutionalized and legitimized and are now socially prevalent.

An intrinsic superiority of socialism lies in the fact that under it everything serves the popular masses.

That everything serves the people means that, in socialist society, all party and state activities are geared to providing the people with genuine freedom and rights as well as with an affluent and cultured life. The enemies of socialism use the vicious slander that the independent and creative life which the party and the state provide for the popular masses in a responsible manner is a “barracks-like” life.

Socialism provides the people with a rich and cultured life. The long-cherished desire of the people to live free from any worries can only be realized in a socialist society in which the party and the state take responsible care of the people’s life. In a capitalist society a carefree life for the working people is inconceivable. In this society even those who are fairly well-to-do are always fearful of sudden bankruptcy, job-loss and poverty. Living a prosperous life in idleness without any thought for others cannot be regarded as a genuine human life. A worthwhile and happy life that conforms to the intrinsic requirements of the people is a creative life which they lead to transform the world; it is a sound and equitably prosperous life which is enjoyed by every person. It is only through such a life that people can feel pride in being the masters of the world and worthy as equal members of the society. A creative, sound and equitable life which conforms with the intrinsic requirements of people can be fully put into effect only in socialist society in which the party and the state are responsible for the life of the people.

The most important aspect of people’s lives is to realize the demand of their political integrity to unite and cooperate with one another amid the love and trust of the social community. People cannot lead a life worthy of human beings and develop their political integrity in capitalist society in which the dignity and personality of the working people are trampled underfoot without scruple because of the privileges enjoyed by capital. It is only in socialist society in which every manner of privilege has been eliminated and genuine freedom and rights are guaranteed for them under the leadership and care of the party and the state that they can lead a life worthy of human beings that meets the demands of their political integrity.

Socialism provides every condition for people to lead a stable life under a well-regulated social order. The socialist order of life is revolutionary order which enables the popular masses to lead a peaceful life free from infringement, under the protection of the party and the state; it is collectivist order which is maintained by the people of their own free will. Destroying the socialist order of life is a criminal act which makes the popular masses the victims of crime and social evil. Those countries where the socialist order of life has become chaotic are now in a state of anarchy; there crime and social evil of every description are rampant and swindlers and criminals of every type are working frantically, as if their day had come.

The renegades of socialism are continuing to repeat such hackneyed expressions as “barrack-like”, the falsity of which has been clearly revealed. They are doing so in a foolish attempt to hide their treachery in making the working people the victims of unemployment, poverty, crime and social evil.

Another intrinsic superiority of socialism lies in the fact that the society continues to develop through the united strength of the popular masses.

That society develops implies that the position and role of people in the world are enhanced, and this in turn means an increase in their independence, creativity and consciousness – the attributes of human beings. In other words, it means that people’s role is enhanced in conformity with a rise in their independent ideological consciousness and creative ability, and that social wealth increases and social relations improve in keeping with the enhancement of the people’s role. Therefore, whether a society has the potential to develop depends on whether it enables people’s independence, creativity and consciousness to be displayed more fully. Independence and creativity for people are guaranteed by their consciousness. Therefore, it can be said that consciousness plays a decisive role in the activities of a human being. This means that ideological consciousness plays a decisive role in human being’s activity. Ideological consciousness reflects the requirements and interests of a human being and, as such, defines the goal and direction of his or her activities, as well as his or her will and fighting ability. Therefore, the basic factor giving impetus to social development is always ideological consciousness. The ideological consciousness which powerfully promotes social progress is independent ideological consciousness, and the ideological consciousness at the highest level of the development of people’s independent consciousness is socialist ideology. It is beyond dispute that socialist society, which is developing through the high level of the revolutionary consciousness and creativity of the popular masses who are equipped with the socialist ideology, is the society with the greatest capacity for development.

The establishment of the socialist system creates the social and economic conditions for all the members of the society to unite and cooperate on the basis of one ideology; however, unity and cooperation among the people cannot be achieved spontaneously. In order to strengthen the unity and cohesion of the whole of society, education in socialist ideology must be improved among them. In the past, however, the remoulding of people’s ideological consciousness was neglected in socialist practice because of the failure to understand that the basic driving force for the development of a socialist society lies in unity and cooperation among the people based on a high degree of ideological consciousness. In particular, there were tendencies to raise people’s enthusiasm for production by means of such economic levers as material incentives, seeking the driving force for the development of the socialist economy in adapting the production relations to the character of the forces of production. Of course, the lever of material incentives may be used in socialist society because it is transitional. But, this lever must be used on the basis of giving priority to education in socialist ideology. In other words, the principle must be maintained of putting the main stress on political and moral incentives and properly combining material incentives with them. If, instead of doing so, emphasis is put merely on material incentives, this will reduce people to egoists who seek only their own interests, with the result that society will stagnate and the foundations of socialism will be destroyed. In those countries which abandoned education in socialist ideology and encouraged egoism, the building of the socialist economy floundered and, taking advantage of this, the leadership of the working-class party and state over the socialist economy was rejected on the excuse of opposing the administrative command system and the capitalist market economy was introduced.

Political leadership and the centralized and systematic guidance of the economy is a basic task for the working-class party and state in socialist society. This is because they are in duty bound to take care of the popular masses. For the working-class party and state to abandon their function of guiding the economy means ignoring their responsibility in taking care of the livelihood of the popular masses. The way the party and state should give guidance to the economy in socialist society may differ from one country to another, according to their specific situation and the requirements of the developing revolutions, but they must on no account abandon their guidance of the economy. An economy without guidance from the working-class party and state is not a socialist economy, and the society which is not based on a socialist economy cannot be called a socialist society. How much scope is given to the superiority of the socialist economy depends on how the party and state give guidance to it. Our experience shows that the economy can be managed particularly well in keeping with the intrinsic nature of socialist society when, in the management of the economy, the collective guidance of the party committee is ensured, the mass line is implemented, political work is given precedence in all undertakings and the revolutionary method of work and popular style of work are established among officials.

The renegades of socialism are converting socialist ownership into private ownership, claiming that the “administrative command system” relies on the absolute dominance of state ownership. The socialist ownership which consists of state and all-people ownership and cooperative ownership forms social, economic foundations which enable the popular masses to occupy the position of masters of the state and society and play their role as such. It is clear that if socialist ownership is dissolved and converted into private ownership, the means of production, having been privatized, will be concentrated, sooner or later, in the hands of privileged people, speculators and a handful of other exploiters, no matter what the method of privatization may be. It is not long since privatization was carried out in those countries in which socialism had collapsed, but millionaires have already appeared while the vast majority of the working people are suffering because of unemployment and poverty. As the facts show, rejecting the guidance of the economy by the working-class party and state and doing away with socialist ownership is nothing more than reviving the capitalist exploiting system, whatever pretext may be cited.

All the anti-socialist, evil propaganda accusing socialism of being ”totalitarian”, “barracks-like” and “administrative and commanding” is nothing more than mud-slinging at socialist collectivism and the extolling of bourgeois individualism. So the struggle between socialists and the renegades of socialism is a struggle between socialism based on collectivism and capitalism based on individualism.

In order to counter the vilification by the renegades of socialism and to defend the cause of socialism, we must embody the principle of collectivism thoroughly in all areas of social life.

Collectivism is an essential quality of socialism and a source of the latter’s superiority and validity. Collectivism is, in short, the concept of valuing the interests of the collective more than one’s own individual interests. In socialist society, where all the working people have been transformed into socialist working people, the whole society becomes one big family whose members are united with one another through their common interests. Collectivism in socialist society finds expression in a high regard for the interests of the state and society. Socialist collectivism does not set the interests of the state and society against those of individuals; it ensures that they coincide. Valuing the state and society in socialist society means, in the long run, valuing the popular masses, the masters of the state and society. The popular masses are a social community composed of the working people; defending the interests of the popular masses means defending the interests of every working person, a constituent element of it. The basic requirement of socialist collectivism is for people to give prominence to the interests of the state and society and pursue their own interests within those of the state and society. Socialist collectivism is against the pursuance of only individual interests at the expense of those of the state and society, yet not against the interests of individuals. It is not socialist collectivism but bourgeois individualism that infringes upon the interests of individuals. The reactionary nature of bourgeois individualism is that it encroaches on the interests of all the working people for the sake of the interests of a handful of exploiters. It is bourgeois individualism that gives rise to conflicts and social evils in capitalist society.

Collectivism, as an ideal of socialism, has developed continuously. The establishment of Marxism was of great significance in the development of the concept of collectivism. Marxism made clear that the emancipation of humanity could not be achieved by individuals and that the exploitation and oppression of man by man could be eliminated and genuine freedom and equality for people could be realized only through the united efforts of the working class.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung authored the Juche idea and, on this basis, has developed the socialist idea and brought it to perfection, thus developing the concept of collectivism at a higher level. The Juche idea contains the original concept that the makers of history who forge the destiny of humanity are the popular masses, not individuals, and that they should be combined into one socio-political organism in order to forge their destiny independently and creatively.

An isolated individual cannot become the motive force of socio-historical progress, nor have socio-political integrity as a social being with independence, creativity and consciousness. The parental organization of a person’s socio-political integrity is the social community. It is only when an individual, as a member of the social community, joins his fate with that of the community that he can have socio-political integrity which is different from the physical life and live and develop independently and creatively as the master of his own destiny.

In a social collective in which the people, the makers of history, are combined into one socio-political organism, the principle of comradely love and revolutionary obligation holds sway in the relations between individuals and between the collective and individuals, the principle of sharing life and death, and of devoted service to one another. The expression of the relations of comradely love and revolutionary obligation between the collective and individuals sharing life and death is socialist collectivism which embodies the principle of “one for all and all for one”. Our socialist society based on the Juche idea is the society in which socialist collectivism is most thoroughly embodied.

Our Party’s collectivist idea was formed during the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle organized and led by the great leader Comrade

Kim Il Sung. In spite of the indescribably difficult circumstances the Korean communists were united firmly in one socio-political organism around the revolutionary leader and established a pattern for close ties of kinship based on collectivism between the revolutionary ranks and the people. Through two stages of social revolution in our country the social sources of the impeding of collectivist unity and solidarity among the people have been eliminated and socialist construction and collectivist education have developed in depth. As a result, all the people form a socio-political organism firmly united behind the Party and the leader, an independent motive force for the revolution, and the collectivist way of life based on comradely love and revolutionary obligation has been brought into full play in all fields of social life.

Our people are now occupying the position of masters of the state and society in all fields of social life, such as politics, the economy and culture, and are discharging their responsibilities and role as masters; they are advancing dynamically to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche, united single-heartedly behind the Party and the leader, sharing good times and bad with one another. The life of people must not be judged simply by its material aspect; it must be judged mainly from the point of view of its social and political aspects and of the life they enjoy as the genuine masters of the state and society. The independent and creative life our people are leading is a genuine life. It clearly displays the intrinsic advantages of the anthropocentric socialism of our own style embodying socialist collectivism.

In socialist society the people are the masters of state power and of the material and cultural wealth. So everyone has the right to enjoy an independent and creative life and is responsible for strengthening and developing it ceaselessly through a concerted effort. In our country there are no jobless people, nor anyone who cannot receive education and medical treatment, nor are there vagrants or beggars. All the people in our country are allowing their creative talents to blossom at their work places where they do jobs that are suited to their aptitudes and abilities and are leading an equitable and wealthy life without any worries; they enjoy an independent political life as the masters of society, enrolled in appropriate socio-political organizations.

In our country our Party, a Juche revolutionary party, bears the responsibility for the destiny of the people as a political guide of society, leads them forward and takes meticulous care of all aspects of their life; the Party committees, as the highest leadership bodies of the relevant units, fully ensure the independent rights of the working people through collective leadership and properly organize their creative activities. The unity between superiors and inferiors and the comradely cooperation among all have become a social trend, the custom in our country. The Party serves the people and the people, upholding the Party’s leadership, share good times and bad with one another. Herein lie the infinite pride and source of the invincible power of our people. Our socialism is unshakable, whatever the storm. This is because the single-hearted unity of the leader, the Party and the people has been realized and the people are building a new life in conformity with their independent demands under the guidance of the Party and the leader.

It is extremely foolish to slander the new life of socialism by reviving outdated ideas which have already been buried by history. The value of the new can be measured only with a new yardstick. The reality has shown clearly once again that the way of thinking of those who preach the return to the old is not new. It is ridiculous for them to talk about a new way of thinking, while being unable to distinguish collectivism from totalitarianism. It is a farce to revive capitalism while distorting the reality of socialism with an outmoded way of thinking and an old yardstick.

We must derive a proper lesson from the setback faced by socialism in some countries and resolutely reject all the slander levelled by fools, and we must advance more vigorously towards the bright future of humanity, displaying such intelligence and courage as to turn misfortune into a blessing
