Originality of Songun politics is, in a word, that it is the politics that pushes ahead with the revolution and construction with the People’s Army as the core and main force.
Thanks to the WPK’s original Songun politics of regarding the military as the top state affair, unity of the revolutionary ranks has been consolidated as ever before and the building of a socialist power is being pushed ahead dynamically.
Leader Kim Jong Il said.
“The Songun politics of our Party is a unique socialist mode of politics that gives a new scientific clarification and solution to the issue of the main force of the revolution.”
Based on analyzing the development of the times and changed social and class relations, the WPK set forth the idea of placing the People’s Army before the working class for the first time in the revolutionary movement history.
The preceding revolutionary theories of Marxism proved that the working class is the most progressive and revolutionary class whose mission is to put an end to domination of capital and all kinds of exploiting system of and realize socialism and communism and defined the working class as the leading class of the revolution, the main force of the revolution. This was the theory that reflected the reality of the then capitalist society, and afterwards those countries that accepted this theory ac
Time advanced far and big change was made in social circumstance, class relation and position of the working class. So the formulae of the preceding theory do not suit to the situation of today.
The WPK has thoroughly rejected every dogmatic attitude toward the preceding theories and every revisionist distortion irrespective of existing theories or formula and set up the People’s Army as the core unit, the main force of the revolution as required by the changing situation and developing revolution.
Setting up the People’s Army by the WPK as the main force of the revolution is the essential requirement of the implementation of the revolutionary cause of Juche in view of the position and role of the People’s Army in Korean revolution at present and the revolutionary spirit and combatant power of the People’s Army.
The WPK set forth the original theory of Songun politics and by realizing it brilliantly, strengthened the position and role of the People’s Army remarkably.
The People’s Army has increased and strengthened into a social collective stronger than any other social groups in revolutionary spirit and combatant power.
The People’s Army defends devotedly the Party and the leader, the country and the people with arms and is now standing in van of the struggle for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people.
The People’s Army displays its might fully in the confrontation with US imperialism and in every sector of building a thriving socialist country.
As it applies the original Songun politics, the DPRK’s socialism is advancing forward without moving before the imperialist maneuvers and its superiority and might are fully displayed in the world.
