The Juche idea is the ideological basis of socialism for national independence

 2021.4.12.

The socialism for national independence is the genuine cause of independence for achieving the independent development and prosperity of the nation along with the victorious advance of the socialist cause for realizing the independence of the popular masses.

Having a correct understanding of the ideological basis of socialism for national independence is an important issue in correctly understanding the scientific accuracy and truth of socialism for national independence.

The ideological basis of socialism for national independence is the immortal Juche idea.

The great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il said.

"Our socialism, established by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, is a people-centred socialism in which the Juche idea has been embodied, as well as the socialism for national independence."

The Juche idea is the ideological basis of socialism for national independence because it scientifically elucidated the position and role of the country and nation in social development.

In order to give priority to pioneering the destiny of the nation and successfully shaping the destiny of the masses, the position and role of the country and nation in shaping the destiny of the masses of the people and developing society should be correctly clarified.

The Juche idea scientifically clarified that the country and nation are the basic units for carving out the destiny of the popular masses.

The fact that the country and nation serve as the basic unit for shaping the destiny of the masses is related to the fact that the destiny of the masses is being carved out with the country and nation as the unit.

If the masses are to successfully shape their destiny, they should realize their socio-political independence, achieve solid unity and cooperation between the people and create and use all kinds of material and cultural wealth necessary for the development of man and society. This can only be realized through the most comprehensive and durable combination and social community formed of in the development of social history.

Although different kinds and types of social groups exist in society, they are not the same in the coverage range and the solidity of cohesion. The most comprehensive and solid social group is the country and nation.

The country is the most comprehensive social group which embraces the people, social wealth, social relations and all fields of social life in the territory where the sovereignty of the state is exercised, and the nation is the most solid combination and destiny community of the people who are united in the course of the long development of social history on the basis of the sameness of blood, together with the oneness of language, cultural life and the region.

The independence of the masses is realized with the country and nation as the unit.

The socio-political independence, which should be achieved first in realizing the independence of the masses, is guaranteed by the state sovereignty, the basic factor that determines the position and role of the people, and it is achieved in the scope of the national state.

And unity and cooperation between people, the main method in shaping the destiny of the masses, are realized very firmly in all spheres of social life, including politics, economy and culture, through the state sovereignty and blood, language, cultural life and the nation formed on the basis of the common nature of the region.

The same is true of creating and using material and cultural wealth necessary for realizing the independence of the masses.

With the national state as the unit, a material wealth is created to fully provide the masses with an independent and creative life in a material way, the people's economic activities and economic life are fully realized, their own cultural wealth is created, and a new national culture is developed with it as the foundation.

This shows that the country and nation are the basic units for carving out the destiny of the masses and that the struggle for carving out the destiny of the country and nation is precisely the struggle for realizing the independence of the masses.

The Juche idea is the ideological basis of socialism for national independence because it scientifically illuminated the essence of the national question.

What is the essence of the national issue and how to solve it is a fundamental issue in carving out the destiny of the nation. It is because the destiny of the nation must be shaped in keeping with its intrinsic requirements, and it leads to the essence of the national issue.

The Juche idea scientifically clarified that the issue of the nation is, in essence, the issue of the independence of the nation and the issue of thoroughly defending and realizing the independence of the nation.

The issue of the independence of the nation is the essence of the national issue, because in short, the independence of the nation is the main factor guaranteeing the existence and prosperity of the nation.

The independence of the nation is the fundamental factor guaranteeing the existence of the nation.

In other words, a nation cannot exist without its own national independence.

Only when the nation is independent can it exist as an independent social group and an independent unit of social life.

The independence of the nation guarantees the existence of the nation by preserving the political independence of its own country, its territory and blood, and the common character of the national language and culture.

Political independence of the country is a prerequisite for the existence of the nation.

The nation and the state are inseparable. Since the birth of the state, the destiny of the nation has been carved out in close relation with the destiny of the state to which it belongs.

Preserving its territory, blood vessel, language and culture's commonality is one of the important factors that sustain the nation's existence.

When the nation is deprived of its territory, and dominated and subjugated by other nations, the language gradually dies out, the commonality of the bloodline is blurred, and the common character of the culture is stained. Only when a nation has independence can it defend the commonality of blood, language, region and cultural life without being assimilated to other nations.

Thus, the independence of the nation is a fundamental factor guaranteeing the existence of the nation.

The independence of the nation is also a fundamental factor guaranteeing the prosperity of the nation.

In order to successfully shape the destiny of the nation, it is necessary to achieve not only the existence of the nation but also its prosperity. A nation that is not thriving and prosperous cannot demonstrate the dignity and might of the nation even if it exists, and will eventually lose its light.

The prosperity of the nation is achieved in a comprehensive way when it firmly preserves the independence of the nation in all fields of social life, such as politics, military affairs, economy and culture.

As the work of achieving the prosperity of the nation depends on how the people of the nation turn out it, it is necessary to firmly unite the members of the nation and turn out as one in the struggle for prosperity common to the nation so as to firmly defend their political independence, have the capability of self-defence and firmly preserve their independence in the economic field as well as and in the field of ideology and culture.

Therefore, each country and nation should set it as a fundamental issue to thoroughly defend and realize the independence of the nation in carving out the destiny of the nation.

As seen above, the Juche idea clarified the most scientific view of the position and role of the country and nation in the development of society and the essence of the national issue, thus providing a theoretical premise for clarifying the idea of converting the socialist cause into the cause of national independence.

Herein lies the truth and scientific accuracy of socialism for national independence with the Juche idea as its ideological foundation.

Today Juche-oriented socialism is dynamically advancing along the road of victory, fully displaying its superiority and invincible might of the socialism for national independence built on the ideological basis of the Juche idea.
