Benevolent politics is the DPRK’s traditional mode of politics which H.E. President Kim Il Sung provided its historic roots and further developed with the noble idea of believing in the people as in Heaven in the early days of the anti-Japanese revolution, and which was perfected by Chairman Kim Jong Il.

I want to have the honour to name this original benevolent politics Kim Jong Il’s mode of politics.

Essence of Kim Jong Il’s mode of politics is love and trust.

The political principle of love and trust is of great and epochal significance like the law of surplus value discovered by Marx. Marx proved inevitability of ruin of capitalism by writing The Capital that comprehensively analyzes the capitalist economic structure with this law, whereas Kim Jong Il established a mode of politics suited to nature of the socialist society on the basis of the political principle of love and trust, thus advancing socialism with victory and paving an avenue for its ultimate victory.

Love for the people is fundamental to Kim Jong Il’s politics.

If his love for the people is such a noble and unlimited one, his trust is absolute and eternal.

Then, how is his trust?

His trust is absolute. He always bestows his trust on the people and wins everything with the might of trust.

His trust is eternal. He trusts the people invariably and to the last and realizes everything on the strength of trust.

The DPRK people of all strata gain his trust without any discriminations, entrust their destiny and future to him and lead an eternal life under his trust.

A stateman praised that the benevolent politics, the politics of love and trust Kim Jong Il provided to mankind, is a “lever of Archimedes”. I agree with him.

Mathematician Archimedes said that he would move the earth with a lever if he had a fulcrum. His words remain unrealized as a scientific and theoretical possibility until now, but mankind now has a “fulcrum” and a “lever” that can advance the world to a bright future of socialism thanks to Kim Jong Il.

I unhesitatingly say that they are Kim Jong Il’s mode of politics and its fruit, the people-centred socialism of Korean style.
