Leader Kim Jong Il and Songun Politics
Leader Kim Jong Il, eternal Chairman of the DPRK National Defense Commission recorded a new history of the building of the revolutionary armed forces with his Songun politics (military-first politics) and opened the glorious age of era of the Workers’ Party.
In the mid-1990s when the Korean revolution faced the worst trials, he defined the Songun politics as the main mode of socialist politics with his clairvoyant wisdom and exceptional perspicacity and embodied it in an all-round way.
He ensured that Party work and activities were directed to the implementation of the Songun revolutionary lines, traits of attaching foremost importance to army, and military affairs were established in the whole society and the state structure system was formed with the National Defense Commission as its pivot.
It was a landmark event that provided a reliable political and structural guarantee of the Songun politics.
The establishment of the Songun politics as a perfect political method opened a unique way for the formation of the revolutionary force in Korea and the realization of socialist politics.
The history of the world revolutionary movement did not know the word of Songun.
Songun politics is the political mode of Kim Jong Il type that can be termed only after him in fact as well as in name.
Leader Kim Jong Il converted the DPRK into a political and ideological power in which all the service personnel and civilians are united single-mindedly.
In conformity with the requirement of the Songun politics Kim Jong Il gave prominence to the People’s Army as the pillar and main force of revolution and put forth all his energy to bolster and develop the People’s Army into the armed force of the leader and the Party without let-up and boost the defense capabilities of the country in every way.
He ensured that the People’s Army formed a world of comrades with its Supreme Commander to share its lot with him and the army and the people firmly established community of ideas and fighting traits.
As a result, the unity and cohesion of the revolutionary ranks were enhanced to single-minded unit of the leader, Party, army and people.
Under his Songun-based leadership the People’s Army was strengthened into a powerful revolutionary armed force with the thoroughgoing spirit of defending the leader devotedly and the defense industry of the DPRK developed into industry capable of manufacturing any sophisticated weapons at will.
Today the DPRK has emerged as a strong military power.
It’s the greatest victory achieved by the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il opened a new history of the building of a thriving nation under the strong political and military guarantee.
During the Arduous March and forced march, he drew up a grand plan for building a prosperous state and saw to it that the People’s Army made a breakthrough in major sectors of the socialist construction and the entire people learned the revolutionary soldier spirit, thereby bringing about grand innovations and upsurge all over the country.
The launch of DPRK satellites, mass production of CNC machines, monumental edifices across the country, a new heyday of socialist culture and all other proud successes symbolic of the Songun era are precious fruits of the Songun politics.
The Songun politics produced the June 15 inter-Korean joint declaration and October 4 declaration on the basis of the idea of “By our nation itself”, opening a new phase of national reunification movement and contributing to safeguarding peace and security of Northeast Asia and the world.
Today the DPRK army and people are conducting a more vigorous drive to build a thriving nation under the leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Party, state and army who carries forward the Songun politics of Kim Jong Il.
