The world is now admiring the DPRK as the land of self-reliance.
S. P. Pathak, director of the Asian Regional Institute of Juche Idea and the chairman of Indian Society for the Study of Kim Jong Il’s Works said when he visited Pyongyang.
… The DPRK’s reality shows that there is nothing impossible and it is possible to win a victory when relying on the inexhaustible strength of the popular masses. Everything was ruined by the Korean War forced by the US imperialists. The Korean people with the ardent love for the country and the future built cities and factories by believing in their strength and relying on it. I can say that self-reliance is a mode of revolution proper to the Korean people. …
This is not compliments made only by S. P. Pathak.
All successes made by the DPRK in building socialism are inconceivable apart from self-reliance.
The Korean people won a great victory in the two revolutionary wars against the US and the Japanese imperialists under the banner of self-reliance to ac
Self-reliance is, indeed, a mode of revolution peculiar to the DPRK.
Self-reliance is a mode of revolution that embodied the strong revolutionary spirit and firm revolutionary stand of the Korean people.
Chairman Kim Jong Il said.
“The revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude is a major means of successfully carrying out the economic tasks confronting from which to accomplish the revolution and construction by one’s own efforts, and in the indomitable fighting spirit with which to hold aloft the banner of revolution to the last without wavering in the face of any difficulty or trial.”
Only those that believe in their strength can defend their dignity as independent beings, blaze the trail for the revolution purposefully and make revolution to the end.
Self-reliance enables people to rise up in the revolution with revolutionary preparedness and fighting spirit. Self-reliant people solve everything by their own efforts, create from nothing and find key to victory of revolution. It is possible to maintain the firm revolutionary stand to carry out revolution and construction by one’s own efforts and firmly defend the banner of the revolution, unmoved by any trials and hardships only when one has the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude.
The Korean people possessed of the stubbornness to make the revolution to the end by their own efforts and the firm revolutionary stand to hold fast to the revolutionary faith without any vacillation even in adversities in the process of carrying out the revolution and construction under the leadership of the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
Self-reliance is a mode of revolution that embodied such a strong revolutionary spirit and firm stand of the Korean people.
Self-reliance is a mode of revolution fostered by President Kim Il Sung and realized by Chairman Kim Jong Il.
President Kim Il Sung saw that self-reliance was the soul of the Korean revolution and the mental tradition of the Korean people on the basis of the immortal Juche idea in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle. After liberation he organized and mobilized the whole Party, all army men and entire people so that they could brave hardships initiatively upholding the revolutionary slogan of self-reliance.
Chairman Kim Jong Il set forth the militant slogans “Let us live in our own way!” and “Let us play fuller play to the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance!” and wisely led so that the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance was fully displayed.
Under the wise leadership of the Party and the leader the Korean people successfully built and developed socialism by self-reliance even under such difficult and complicated circumstances.
The Korean people’s spirit of self-reliance is very valuable as it is a traditional revolutionary spirit born and consolidated during the arduous days of the protracted and much-tried Korean revolution.
It is now very important to fully display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude in the DPRK.
Chairman Kim Jong Il said.
“Currently the imperialists and reactionaries are intensifying their anti-socialist moves and attempting to impose economic blockade our country and stifle it. In this situation, whether the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude is displayed to a high degree or not is a vital issue with a bearing on the defence of our own style of socialism.”
Self reliance is a lifeline that decides the destiny of socialism in the DPRK.
It is inevitable that development of socialism is faced by the challenge of capitalism and imperialism. Imperialists don’t release the moves to obliterate socialism because they are well aware that socialism is a main force t
The DPRK is now carrying out the cause of socialism under the imperialist encirclement. Imperialist encirclement exerts a serious influence on the socialist construction. Due to it the DPRK is faced with a difficult task to step up the socialist construction while channeling efforts into strengthening of defence capability. It should brave a big obstacle, that is, economic blockade of imperialist allied forces in carrying out the task.
In such circumstance preparedness and confidence to do everything with self-reliance and fortitude can only open up a bright prospect to defend and develop socialism. The Korean people who kept the spirit of self-reliance rise up with redoubled efforts to defend socialism built at the cost of their blood and sweat with a firm faith in victory of the revolution. Only with self-reliance, it is possible to further consolidate the foundation of the socialist system of Juche and give full play to the superiority of socialism, thus glorifying the national independence and dignity.
Preparedness and confidence to do everything with self-reliance and fortitude also enables the people to tap every possibility to build a thriving nation.
It is an important demand for the building of socialism by self-reliance to fully tap and use every possibility of social development. The socialist state that administers society in a unified way taps all its efforts to provide with domestic and international environments favorable to the development of socialism purposefully and consciously.
Self-reliance makes a country prosperous by tapping everything of it and enables one to go through hardships by his efforts. Those that arm themselves with the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance have the assurance to rise up even though the heavens fell, tap reserves and make great creations even under any difficult conditions.
Self-reliance also makes one provide conditions that can establish, maintain and strengthen the relations with foreign countries in conformity with one’s interest from the standpoint as befits the master. Self-reliance is not contradictory to international cooperation and they are closely combined wit
Self-reliance is only a true way to the building of a socialist thriving country.
Self-reliance now becomes the spiritual mainstay common to the progressive people.
Imperialists and neo-colonialists that run against the trend of history label the spirit of self-reliance as “nationalism” and “isolationism” and run amuck to exclude it.
However, self-reliance is gripping the heart of people in many countries as the progressive banner of national prosperity with the passage of time. The progressive people are making joint efforts against every kind of arbitrariness of imperialists, holding aloft the banner of collective self-reliance. It is a new aspect of the trend of the world history that self-reliance has appeared as an ideological weapon of resistance to break the existing international order and a guiding banner to guarantee the advance of humankind in the present international situation where imperialists are blustering.
Rallied single-mindedly around the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the Korean people are now launching a dynamic campaign to break through the cutting edge by displaying the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance based on modern science and technology.
