    Leader Kim Jong Il said as follows.

    "Revolutionary outlook on the leader is the most correct view and viewpoint on the position and role of the leader in the revolutionary struggle of the working class and the stand and attitude of having the leader in high esteem with sincerity."

    Revolutionary outlook on the leader forms a nucleus in the Juche-oriented view on revolution.

    Revolutionary outlook on the leader is, first of all, the correct viewpoint on the position and role occupied and played by the leader in the revolutionary struggle.

    Leader occupies an absolute position in the revolutionary struggle. The absolute position of the leader in the revolutionary struggle means that the leader is a hardcore of a socio-political integrity.

    The centre of the socio-political integrity is the leader, the highest brain of the collective. Since leader is the highest brain of socio-political collective, he becomes the centre who rallies the masses organizationally and ideologically, morally and willingly to a socio-political integrity.

    Leader plays decisive role in the revolutionary struggle to shape out the destiny of the masses.

    Leader creates the guiding ideology and develops it to illuminate the road ahead of revolution and makes the masses conscious and organized to provide the subject of revolution. He also leads the revolutionary cause to victory with scientific strategy and tactics at every stage of revolution and construction.

    Since leader occupies an absolute position and plays decisive role as a centre of socio-political integrity in the revolutionary struggle, he should never be considered to be an individual. However outstanding an individual is, he occupies a limited position and plays limited role as a member of the masses. But leader embodies will and demand of masses and represents the whole of a social collective as a centre of socio-political integrity and plays decisive role in revolutionary struggle. Revolutionary outlook on the leader is, next, the stand and attitude of having the leader in high esteem.

    The stand and attitude of having the leader in high esteem is formed by the most correct viewpoint on the leader.

    It is expressed in that we have the leader in high esteem with loyalty and make the leader’s authority absolute, and that we make the leader’s idea and intention our faith and maintain the principle of unconditional spirit in carrying out the leader’s idea and intention.

     That we have the leader in high esteem with loyalty means that we regard it as our highest honour and happiness to have the great leader and entrust our whole on the leader and that we devote ourselves in the struggle with firm faith that we can do everything as long as we are guided by the leader.

    That we make the leader’s authority absolute means that we have the firm stand of knowing nobody but the leader, defend the leader politically and ideologically with our lives, devote ourselves for improving the leader’s authority and image and never compromise with the work concerning his authority.

    That we make the leader’s idea and intention our faith means that we accept the leader’s idea and intention as the most fair, consider it as our guideline in work and life, defend the leader’s idea and think and act as required by him.

    That we maintain the principle of unconditional spirit in carrying out the leader’s idea and intention means that we consider the leader’s idea and intention as an immediate law and supreme order and carry through them with devotion and self-sacrifice without any slightest excuse or condition with strong will that we have no right to be killed before their implementation.

    This is loyalty to the leader and the main demand, main criteria ofssss stand and attitude of having the leader in high esteem with loyalty.
