Chairman Kim Jong Il made public an immortal classic work Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism on June 19, 1995. It was the period when the Korean revolution was in trying ordeals.
In the work Kim Jong Il elucidated that the ideological work of the working-class party, which fights for socialism, is an ideological and theoretical undertaking to develop socialist ideology in depth in order to meet modern-day requirements and those of the developing revolution and the working-class party’s ideological work is also education for inculcating socialist ideology in the masses of the people. Kim Jong Il said that ideological work must be developed in depth, as socialism advances and the more intensive the manoeuvres of socialism’s enemies become, the more should ideological work be stepped up and taking ideology as the basic factor and giving priority to ideological work is the key to triumphantly advancing and consummating the cause of socialism.
A few days later, he told officials that he made public a work Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism on newspaper Rodong Sinmun, emphasizing that one wins if he holds fast to ideological work but ruins if he abandons it.
