The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said.
"Today mankind is studying the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism so as to find the road ahead of them. Everywhere on the globe the ideology centred on the masses, the revolutionary theory of independence, has become the spirit and banner of struggle for people who aspire after genuine freedom and happiness."
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, the ideology centered on the popular masses and the revolutionary doctrine of independence, is the banner of struggle to be upheld by anybody who aspires after true freedom and happiness as it brightly illuminates the way to be followed by the mankind.
First of all, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the revolutionary ideology that reflects the independent nature of the popular masses most correctly.
Every human-being demands to live as the master of the world and his own destiny, free from any subordination and oppression. Such intrinsic need of human can be successfully realized only when they have a great guiding ideology of revolution which represents the era and illuminates the future of mankind.
For human-beings whose life and soul is independence, the ideology that correctly reflects their independent aspirations and demand, their social nature, is the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
As it reflects the intrinsic need of social beings that are their independent aspirations and demand, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is sympathized with and followed by everybody.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the revolutionary ideology of independence created on the basis of the most scientific elucidation of essential features of man and correct reflection of the intrinsic need of social beings.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism clarified that man is a social being with independence, creativity and consciousness and is the master and transformer of the world, and clearly illuminated that independence is the life and soul of social beings. It perfectly elucidated that the driving force of social history is the popular masses and scientifically clarified the features of the ideal society that reflects their independent nature. Therefore, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is shining brilliantly as the immortal revolutionary ideology that raises the beautiful desire and demand of the popular masses up to the highest stage and guarantees their true freedom and happy life.
This shows that the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is, in essence, the people-first policy and is none other than the ideology centered on the popular masses and the revolutionary doctrine of independence. For that reason, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism brings home to the hearts of popular masses with an enormous power and has become the soul of people aspiring after true freedom and welfare with their wholehearted support.
It is clearly substantiated by the fact that Juche idea, the quintessence of the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, touches the heartstrings of broad masses of different classes and strata in many countries of the world today and a lot of people maintain that the destiny of mankind depends on advancing towards the road indicated by the Juche idea. Anybody who receives the Juche idea is sympathized with it and the more they grasp its truth, the more they are attracted by the idea. This idea of independence centered on the popular masses will be deeply impressed on the minds of more and more people as days go by. Because it reflects the intrinsic need of popular masses and their independent aspirations, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is regarded as the banner of struggle to be looked up to and followed by them fluttering above.
Second, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the revolutionary ideology that illuminates the way to realize the beautiful ideal of mankind most scientifically.
Social beings ardently support and follow the idea which not only reflects their beautiful aspirations and ideal but also illuminates the most scientific way to realize them. For the social beings who are primarily interested in their own destiny, the only idea they follow is the one that illuminates the most scientific way to realize their own aspirations and demand perfectly.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism makes clear that socialist society is the one that reflects the independent aspirations and demand of social beings and the century-cherished ideal of popular masses and scientifically shows the way to realize them with the popular masses centred on.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism verified that socialist society is the one in which the popular masses are masters of everything and everything serves popular masses and it develops on the unified power of popular masses with them as the central factor. Furthermore, it regards strengthening the driving force of revolution and raising its role, thoroughly safeguarding and embodying the independent need and interests of popular masses and preserving the Juche character and national identity as the fundamental principles of socialist construction, and set forth the line of carrying out three revolutions, ideological, technical and cultural, while consolidating the people' government and constantly raising its function and role, as the general line of socialist construction.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism also provides a correct answer to the important issues to be necessarily settled in practice of socialist construction, such as holding fast to the establishment of the Party's monolithic system of leadership as the lifeline of socialism, regarding the single-hearted unity as the mainstay of construction of a powerful socialist nation and realizing the harmonious whole of popular masses with ideology as the main factor, enhancing the creative activity and revolutionary enthusiasm by inspiring the spiritual strength of masses, giving importance to science and technology as the motive power to build up a powerful socialist nation and making all the people well versed in science and technology and making our country a talented power, holding fast to party principle and class principle in all work and resolutely sweeping away non-socialism and reactionary ideology and culture, enhancing the sense of responsibility and role of officials, the leading members of revolution.
As it is the encyclopedic idea that gives wide and perfect answers to the problems arising in socialist construction theoretically and practically, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism serves as the wonderful textbook to give confidence and scientific ways to the people who turned out in their efforts to bring about the beautiful future of mankind aspiring after socialism.
Since it clarified most correctly the way ahead of people to build the mankind's ideal society centred not on material but on popular masses, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the banner of struggle that indicates the course of advance and encourages them with its vigorous fluttering.
The great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, the one and only guiding ideology of Korean revolution, has fully proved its truthfulness by remarkably displaying its vitality in the practice of revolution and reality.
The whole course of Korean revolution is, in fact, the history of victory that is won by the power of truth of the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism. History clearly shows how the powerful nation of independence, self-sufficiency and self-reliance in defense has been built and the invincible socialist fortress which withstands all the international political upheavals and the imperialists' vicious maneuvers of isolation and stifling has been raised up on this land that was once rooted with flunkyism and dogmatism before.
The truthfulness and vitality of the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is clearly proved by the fact that our people, who had to experience the sorrow of miserable, small and weak colonial nation a century ago, have built the powerful socialist nation renowned with Juche and dignified with independence and have performed world-surprising miracles and innovation despite unprecedentedly harsh circumstances. The eye-opening event that the previous lesser nation that was horribly smashed by imperialist powers has been turned into a dignified political and military power today and Korean people are fully demonstrating their dignity as the invincible independent people, although the geopolitical position of our country has never changed since olden times, is the inevitability of history brought about by the great ideology, not an accident of times.
As it is the most vital ideology fully proved of its truthfulness and vitality through the history and reality like this, the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is thought to be the banner of victory and struggle which the popular masses regard as the aim to win victory and firmly safeguard.
We should vigorously accelerate the accomplishment of the cause of modeling the whole society with Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism by dint of ideology and single-hearted unity with great pride and glory with which we have followed the way of revolution illuminated by the great idea for decades in the fatherland of the guiding ideology of the age of independence that is looked up to by the whole world. And herein lies the shortcut to ultimately accomplish the cause of modeling the whole society with Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and to realize the beautiful ideal of people.
All the Party members and working people should accomplish the socialist cause of Juche to the end holding high the line of modeling the whole society with Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the supreme program of our Party, firmly rallied around the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
