    It is important to carry out the revolution and construction in one’s own style on the principle of national independence in order to preserve the Juche character and national character of the revolution and construction.

    Carrying out the revolution and construction on the principle of national independence is one of the fundamental requirements for preserving the Juche character and national character.

    The principle of national independence is to solve all the problems arising in the revolution and construction according to opinion and decision of one’s own nation without any foreign intervention. This is the sacred right of the nation that nobody can violate.

    Only when carrying out the revolution and construction on the principle of national independence, is it possible to hold fast to the Juche character.

    The revolutionary parties and people can exercise the right and fulfil responsibility as the masters of the revolution and construction and realize their independence, only when carrying out the revolution and construction on the principle of national independence. If they dance to others’ tune without one’s own opinion and faith, they can lose the Juche character of the revolution and construction and they can’t realize independence of the popular masses.

    Only when carrying out the revolution and construction on the principle of national independence, is it possible to preserve the national character as well as the Juche character.

    The revolutionary parties and people can retain the national character and superiority and bring it into full play.

    The nation that does not maintain the political independence and is shackled to others can’t preserve the characteristic features, and as a result it becomes heterogeneous and assimilates to other nations. In the past the east European countries did not maintain the principle of national independence in the revolution and construction but acted under the instruction of the former Soviet Union. As a result, they failed to retain the traditions and culture peculiar to their nations, and even the languages and custom and the whole social life were Sovietized. Thus in those countries the destiny of the nation was not connected with socialism and the parties and governments of the working class were isolated and rejected by the popular masses, which culminated in a miserable event of collapse of the socialist system.

    The historical experience clearly shows that the road of independence is the road of national independence and prosperity while the road of dependence on foreign forces is the road of subjugation, the road of ruin.

    It is by no means easy to maintain the principle of national independence in the revolution and construction, because there are outwardly pressure and threat of chauvinists and dominationists and inwardly challenge of flunkeyists. The chauvinists, dominationists and flunkeyists force to give up the principle of national independence, one’s own line and follow their opinion while putting pressure and challenging whenever he suffers from hardships and trials in the revolution and construction. In view of the history of the Korean revolution, the chauvinists and dominationists put pressure on the Korean Party and people and the factionalists imbued with flunkeyism, in collision with them, challenged the Party.

    The revolutionary parties and people should hold fast to their opinions without any vacillation and carry out to the last the line and policy they chose as the chauvinists and dominationists intensify the pressure and the flunkeyists made more vicious moves. Only then, it is possible to preserve the Juche character and national character of the revolution and construction and realize independence of the people and add luster to the national dignity.

    Carrying out the revolution and construction in one’s own style as well as maintaining the principle of the national independence is one of the fundamental requirements for preserving the Juche character and national character.

    Carrying out the revolution and construction in one’s own style means carrying out the revolution and construction in accordance with the demands and interests of one’s people and nation and the actual situation of one’s own country. This is the most revolutionary and scientific method of carrying out the revolution and construction on the basis of the reality.

    The revolutionary parties and people should always find their own methods and ways and thoroughly depend on them in advancing the revolution and construction and developing the society. To follow the other’s style and copy it is not an attitude as befitting the master that is responsible for the destiny of the country, nation and the people.

    It is important to have a correct attitude towards the other’s experiences in carrying out the revolution and construction in one’s own style.

    It is necessary not to ignore the other’s experiences when carrying out the revolution and construction in one’s own style, but to accept the advanced and the good of the other countries so that it is beneficial to him, instead of copying it mechanically.

    Only when carrying out the revolution and construction in one’s own style on the principle of national independence, is it possible to preserve the Juche character and national character and lead the people’s cause for independence to the road of victory. This is the absolute truth that is proved in the course of the people’s struggle for independence.
