Chairman Kim Jong Il said.
“That the masses of the people are the masters of the revolution and construction and they have the power to promote them—this is the fundamental principle of the revolution, as elucidated by the Juche idea.”
The popular masses are the masters of the revolution and construction.
That the popular masses are the masters of the revolution and construction means that they are the direct performers who have the right and responsibility to carry out the revolution and construction.
The revolution and construction are for the popular masses. They carry out the revolution and construction in order to lead an independent life as masters of nature and society free from all subordinations and fetters. Now that the popular masses demand independent life, they are keenly interested in the revolution and construction. Since the revolution and construction are for the sake of the masses, they have due right to discharge and carry out the revolution and construction.
The revolution and construction should be carried out responsibly by the popular masses. As the revolution and construction is for the popular masses, they must carry out the revolution and construction with responsibility. Nobody can substitute the popular masses in the revolution and construction. The popular masses can overthrow an old social system and build up a new one and create an abundant and civilized new life only through their struggle. They are responsible for the revolution and construction.
The popular masses have the power to promote the revolution and construction.
This means that the popular masses play decisive role in the revolution and construction.
The popular masses not only are keenly interested in the revolution and construction but have the creative power, the revolutionary ability to push ahead the revolution and construction. The popular masses have revolutionary ability to overthrow an old social system and build a new one. They also have the revolutionary ability to get rid of remains of the old society and build an ideal society where the independence of the popular masses is completely realized.
The popular masses play a decisive role in the revolution and construction as they have inexhaustible power and revolutionary ability to push ahead the revolution and construction.
