    The Songun idea is a great revolutionary idea that elucidated a new road to strengthen the driving force of the revolution, placing the revolutionary army in the centre.

    Chairman Kim Jong Il said.

    “The essential characteristic of Songun politics is that it safeguards the security of the country and defends the revolutionary gains by developing the People’s Army into invincible revolutionary armed forces, and that it builds up the driving force of the revolution and deals with all affairs of socialist construction in a revolutionary and militant way with the People’s Army as the hard core and main force.”

    The Songun idea is a great revolutionary idea that elucidated a new road to strengthen the driving force of the revolution, placing the revolutionary army in the centre. This means that it sets the revolutionary army as the core and main force and rallies the popular masses around the Party and the leader to strengthen the driving force of the revolution.

    The driving force of the revolution is the united whole of the leader, the army and the people. It is important in strengthening the driving force of the revolution to correctly define the main force.

    We can build strong driving force of the revolution and relying on it victoriously advance the revolutionary movement, when we set as the main force the group taking vanguard position and playing decisive role in the revolution and construction, the group strongest in revolutionary character, organizationality and combat efficiency among different classes and social groups that constitute the driving force of the revolution.

    The Songun idea illuminates the way of strengthening the driving force of the revolution by setting the revolutionary army as the main for of the revolution and with it as model uniting the broad masses around the Party and the leader in an organizational, ideological, moral way.

    The Songun idea is the revolutionary idea that enables us to make ideological unity of the revolutionary rank after the model of the ideological and spiritual traits of the revolutionary army.

    The driving force of the revolution is the united whole of ideology and will based on one ideology.

    The ideological foundation of the driving force of the revolution is the revolutionary idea of the leader and the ideological unity of the revolutionary rank based on that ideology can be successively achieved when the revolutionary army’s ideological and spiritual traits were set as a model.

    The revolutionary army is the group that is fully armed with the leader’s revolutionary ideology and with the revolutionary spirit of the revolutionaries.

    Since the revolutionary army is the group of the voluntary fighters who embark on the road of revolution with arms in their hands and with the preparation to devote themselves for the leader’s revolutionary cause, the socialist cause, it has high loyalty to the Party and the leader and has strong love for the country and people and uncompromising fighting spirit against the class enemy.

    Therefore, when all the members of the society follow the revolutionary army’s ideological and spiritual traits, we can achieve the ideological unity of the revolutionary rank centring on the leader on the highest level.

    The Songun idea is the revolutionary idea that enables us to strengthen iron-like organizational unity of the revolutionary rank by setting the revolutionary army as a model.

    The driving force of the revolution is the ideologically united whole based the leader’s revolutionary ideology and organizational integrated whole centring on the leader as well.

    The people organizationally united around the leader display inexhaustible strength and accelerate the revolution and construction.

    This unity can be successfully achieved when the revolutionary army is set as a model.

    For its characteristic as the armed rank, the revolutionary army has higher organizational level than any other groups in the society.

    The revolutionary army has commanding system in which all the soldiers move as one by the order of the supreme commander and all its activities are conducted only according to military regulations and rules.

    Therefore, when the revolutionary army is set as a model, we can firmly unite different classes and social strata that constitute the driving force of the revolution behind the leader to make the organizationally united whole that moves as one under the monolithic leadership of the leader and build the driving force of the revolution to be powerful revolutionary force.

    The Songun idea is the revolutionary idea that enables us to achieve the moral unity of the revolutionary rank by following the example of revolutionary comradeship well displayed by the revolutionary army.

    The driving force of the revolution is the entity sharing the same destiny on the road of revolution designed to realize the people’s independence. Therefore, it is ideologically and organizationally united whole as well as moral entity united with revolutionary comradeship and moral obligation.

    The revolutionary army is the model of moral unity centring on the leader.

    As the supreme commander of the revolutionary army, the leader loves and sets to fore all the soldiers trusting them as revolutionary comrades sharing the destiny, not treating them in the military relations between the supreme commander and soldiers.

    The soldiers devotedly defend the supreme commander, absolutely trusting him as the closest comrade and father they entrusted their destiny.

    At present, the relations between the respected supreme commander and soldiers are the relations of comrades-in-arms in which they share destiny arms in arms, shoulder to shoulder on the road of revolution and the crystal of comradely unity necessarily achieved in the driving force of the revolution.

    On the basis of the loyalty to the respected supreme commander, the soldiers devote their blood, flesh and even life for comrades, and this world of comradeship strengthens the single-hearted unity of the army and people, creating social atmosphere.

    This tells that when the revolutionary comradeship displayed by the revolutionary army is set as an example, we can achieve the moral unity of the driving force of the revolution around the leader on a high level and strengthen the driving force of the revolution to be solidly united whole that does not move in any adversities.

    Like this, the Songun idea is the great idea that illuminated a new road of strengthening the driving force of the revolution with the revolutionary army as the core and example, regarding it as the main force of the revolution.
