[Text] Today, as all the people throughout the country

are quickening their steps in their march toward new

lofty heights of the socialist construction, full of confidence, fight and faith, the party is demanding that all the

functionaries go in deeply into realities, breathe as one

with the masses—and work with them performing uninterrupted innovations and feats.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK [Workers

Party of Korea] Central Committee and secretary ofthe

party Central Committee, pointed out:

"If we are to achieve success in the party work or

economic work, functionaries must go down to base levels

and go in among the masses and work by relying on the

masses."

It is the most scientific and revolutionary work method

based on the position and the role of the masses of

people in the revolution and construction that functionaries go in deeply among the masses and organize and

mobilize positively their resources.

The masses of people are the masters of the revolution

and construction, and the decisive factor in the remaking

ofthe nature and the development ofsociety. The cause

ofsocialism and communism is a work for the masses of

people. It is a work for them to carry out for themselves.

Under socialism, interests of society and those of individuals are basically in accord with each other and the

working masses have vital interests in every work done

for the revolution and construction. Therefore, the

masses of people take the revolution and construction as

their own work; they devote their strength and wisdom

to creating all the assets ofsociety and thus they advance

history. Inexhaustible is the strength and wisdom ofthe

masses of people who change the world. Only the masses

of people embody all the social assets historically accumulated by mankind, and possess the creative strength to

work out their destiny on their own by remaking nature,

reforming society and remolding man. The key to

advancing a revolutionary cause vigorously and leading

it to success lies precisely in relying on this creative

strength of the masses of people and in organizing and

mobilizing it correctly. Therefore the working-class party

must make it a fundamental principle of activity to

always put itself deeply into realities with the correct

revolutionary view of the masses and strengthen its

kindred ties with the masses, and to organize and mobilize the masses while relying on their strength. And it

must firmly adhere to that principle.

To put themselves into realities and organize and mobilize the strength ofthe masses positively is an indispensable requirement for functionaries in fully discharging

their basic revolutionary responsibilities.

Functionaries are commanding personnel of the revolution, and indoctrinators and organizers of the masses.

Teachings of our great leader and policies of the party

filter into the masses through functionaries; work for

their implementation is also organized and carried out

by functionaries. How deeply the party's plans and

intent, lines and policies filter into the masses and how

solidly they are implemented largely depend on how

functionaries struggle and with what kind of work

method and ethos.

Party lines and policies can be implemented thoroughly

and bear brilliant fruits only when the commanding

personnel manning the driver's seat of the revolution

organize and mobilize the masses vigorously, carrying

with them the revolutionary spirit and ethos. The work

of organizing and mobilizing the masses of people

cannot be done properly with a simple administrative,

business-like method. It can be done successfully only

when functionaries go in deeply among the masses and

do the organizational and political work to spur their

revolutionary strength. Only by going in deeply among

the masses, sharing their lot with them and doing the

organizational and political work vigorously can functionaries creditably realize the marriage of leadership

and the masses, ensure the scientific quality and correctness of guidance and, in particular, strengthen the kindred ties between the party and the masses, advancing

the revolution and construction vigorously in compliance with the intent of the party. If they should fail to

place themselves among the masses ofpeople, and ifthey

should be removed from the masses, the inevitable result

would be bureaucratism and subjectivism, with grave

consequences to the revolution and construction.

To go in deeply among the masses and to fully organize

and mobilize their strength and creative wisdom while

sharing their lot with them is a unique work method for

all the functionaries to possess. It is an important

requirement for them to meet to thoroughly fulfill their

mission and basic responsibility.

To have functionaries go in deeply among the masses,

organize and mobilize them vigorously and thereby solve

all problems is our party's traditional work method

created by our great leader in the days of the antiJapanese revolutionary struggle.

The respected and beloved leader created the revolutionary work method of chuche based on the great

chuche ideology, setting it forth as its most important

requirement that functionaries go in among the masses

and organize and mobilize them vigorously, and even

showing brilliant examples.

The respected and beloved leader created the typical

example of mass guidance method and, with it, made

immortal achievements that will shine forever. This

mass guidance method—namely, the revolutionary work

method of forming kindred ties with the masses of

people, of carving out a path of victory and progress by

relying on their inexhaustible strength and creative wisdom—is being further deepened and developed by our

party today in accordance with a new, higher requirement of the developing revolution.

Our party, putting forth the militant slogan "Let the

Entire Party Go in Among the Masses!" established for

us an orderly work system in which all the functionaries

go down to base levels. It is wisely leading functionaries

to go in deeply among the masses, ascertain the actual,

specific conditions at base levels and, at the same time,

help them in a substantive manner. As a result, the

revolutionary, people-oriented work habits of going in

deeply among the masses and helping them, leading

them actively have been established more firmly than

ever among functionaries, and every work including

party work and administrative, economic work is being

conducted boldly and vigorously.

It became a firm work habit throughout the party that all

the functionaries, under the sagacious leadership of the

party and the leader, go in deeply into realities and help

the masses actively while sharing their lot with them.

Thus it became possible that the party's intent filters into

the masses promptly and smoothly, that superiors and

subordinates have good communication between them,

that the kindred ties between the party and the masses

grow stronger than ever, and that a creative mettle reigns

supreme in every area of socialist construction.

The question of embodying the requirement of the

revolutionary mass guidance method—the requirement

that functionaries go in deeply into realities and live with

the masses and, by doing so, organize and mobilize their

strength properly—increases its importance as the revolution and construction deepens and the party is faced

with heavier revolutionary tasks.

Our revolution has come a long way. And confronting us

today is the honorable but heavy task to accelerate more

vigorously the pace of the general march under the high

banner of the chuche ideology and, by doing so, occupy

the new lofty height ofsocialist construction, bring down

the wall of national division and achieve the great cause

of the reunification of the fatherland at the earliest

possible date.

The respected and beloved leader Comrade Kim Il-song

portrayed the bright prospects of the socialist construction in the 1990's in his New Year's address this year and

at the 17th plenum ofthe 6th WPK Central Committee,

calling on all our working class and people to launch into

a vigorous struggle to materialize them.

We must respond actively to violent changes in the flow

of history and make the 1990's shine as a decade ofgreat

victory and progress, a triumphant decade of sweeping

strides and creative feats. We must march on more

vigorously in the 1990's with great aspirations and firm

confidence and, by doing so, strengthen the might ofthe

country to an extraordinary degree, improve the people's

living standards further in accordance with their socialist

demands and bring into fuller play the peerless superiority ofthe socialist system of our country in every area.

With a view to adorning the 1990's as a glorious decade

that will write the most brilliant chapter in the history of

struggle of our party and people, we must launch into the

movement to create a new "Speed ofthe 90's" vigorously

and full of optimism and confidence in victory.

Our revolution today has come to an important turning

point; how successfully our people will fulfill the great

cause of socialist construction largely depends on how

they struggle the final decade of the 20th century.

Holding aloft the revolutionary slogan "All Into Creating

the New 'Speed ofthe 90's,'" we must once more kindle

the powerful flame of a great revolutionary upswing to

fulfill the Third 7-Year Plan ahead of schedule, and to

move on toward higher prospective goals for the next

period.

This enormous task facing us demands that all the

functionaries set in motion thoroughly the ideological

and creative resources of the masses of people and that

their inexhaustible strength be organized and mobilized

to a maximum degree.

In order for functionaries to activate the masses ideologically and actively organize and mobilize their creative

strength, they must go down to base levels and go in

deeply among the producer masses. Only by going down

to base levels and going in deeply among the masses can

functionaries work out guidance measures properly and

accelerate production and construction energetically by

organizing and mobilizing the strength and wisdom of

the masses.

All the functionaries must clearly understand that the

basic key to kindling another great revolutionary

upswing in the socialist construction by waging struggles

for increased production and conservation lies in their

going down to base levels and setting the masses in

motion. On that basis, they must become true indoctrinators and organizers by going in deeply into realities

and spurring the masses positively to the implementation of party policies.

All the functionaries must go in deeply into realities and

organize and mobilize the masses vigorously; most

important in this connectio\ is to make it a system for

them to have the revolutionary view ofthe masses when

going in among the masses.

By the revolutionary view of the masses, we mean the

viewpoint and position ofregarding the masses of people

as the masters of revolution, serving them and trusting

their inexhaustible strength, and making revolution by

relying on their strength.

Only when functionaries have a correct viewpoint and

position toward the masses of people can they go in
JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990 Editorial Bureau

deeply among the masses, share their lot with them and

set them in motion toward successful implementation of

party lines and policies.

All the functionaries must make it a part of life and a

habit to establish their revolutionary mass viewpoint

firmly before going in among the masses. Also, when

going down to base levels, functionaries must—instead

ofonly meeting a handful ofresponsible functionaries of

the respective units whom they see regularly anyway—go

in all the way to the side of each machine position at

factories and enteiprises, to cultivated farm fields and to

the blind end in a coal mine or mineral mine gallery, and

meet the producer masses there, including workers and

farmers. If they should go down to base levels in a

formalistic way or as if on a picnic, and if they should

thus fail to go deeply into realities, they can never

accomplish the purpose for which they have gone there.

Iffunctionaries who have gone down to base levels stick

to formalities and fail to go in deeply among the masses,

they will be like drops ofoil floating on water and cannot

mix with the masses after all; people will not allow them

to approach nor follow them wholeheartedly. Our functionaries, who came from among the people and who

work devotedly for the happiness ofthe people, are by no

means allowed to adhere formalism or to wield power.

They must not show the slightest sign of adhering to

formalism, being arrogant or asking any special treatment for themselves. If functionaries should stick to

formalities among the masses, wield power and lack

modesty in their behavior, they could set back the

creative zeal ofthe producers, harm the party's authority

and eventually bring about alienation between the party

and the masses.

All the functionaries must ensure thatthey have a correct

viewpoint toward the masses, then go down to base

levels, find out facts and work out countermeasures

while working with them, sweating it out with them.

In getting deeply into realities and organizing and mobilizing the masses vigorously, next important for functionaries is to make political work—which is for putting

the masses in motion ideologically and spurring their

creative enthusiasm—the first process in every work and

step it up actively.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central

Committee and secretary of the party Central Committee, pointed out:

"In order to fulfill the revolutionary task successfully, we

must give priority to political work to indoctrinate people

and set them in motion."

Political work is, in essence, a work to move the masses

ideologically. Only by waging political work substantially will it be possible to set the producer masses in

motion ideologically and to enhance the creative enthusiasm of the masses in production and construction.

In socialist society, the key to solving all problems lies in

spurring the awareness of the masses of people as the

masters along with their creative positiveness. Once the

masses of people is set in motion ideologically and their

enthusiasm spurred, there is nothing impossible. Every

miracle and every feat is based on the masses' high

political awareness and enthusiasm. Therefore, functionaries must keep a firm grip on and conduct substantially

the political work to spur the masses' political awareness

and creative enthusiasm, always with a correct view of

the masses.

Functionaries must go in deeply among the masses,

explain to and inculcate in them the leader's teachings

and party policies and let them know clearly what the

intent and expectations of the party and the leader are.

Only when they do so can the masses firmly grasp the

substance, the essence and the correctness of the teachings of our great leader and party policies and rush forth

to participate in the struggle to carry out the intent and

plans of the party and the leader, with high political

awareness and burning loyalty.

Functionaries must concentrate fire of political work on

solving problems among the masses as expected and

intended by the party and the leader. They must do their

political work in a substantive manner so that the

faithfulness of the masses to the party and the leader is

highly displayed in the fulfillment of the revolutionary

tasks.

Launching economic agitation vigorously among the

masses is a powerful way to inculcate the party's and the

leader's intent and the greatness of party policy in the

hearts ofthe masses, move the hearts of people and spur

their political awareness and revolutionary enthusiasm.

All functionaries must go down to base levels and launch

economic agitation among the producer masses in the

manner of the anti-Japanese guerrillas, in various forms

and by various methods, and in a creative, aggressive

fashion, thereby spurring the masses to uninterrupted

innovations.

In launching political work among the masses in an

original and substantive fashion, it is important to make

good preparations in advance. It constitutes a major

guarantee for success in any work to make good preparations in advance. Only when they make advance

preparations well in the light of the existing conditions

can functionaries carry out their political work efficiently among the masses, moving the hearts of people

and thereby achieving the purpose of indoctrination.

When going down to base levels, they must, without fail,

be well prepared with various kinds of materials needed

for indoctrination, then inculcate the masses with them

through vibrant and realistic indoctrination connected

with the specific conditions ofthe respective base levels.

To set examples for the masses with practical deeds is a

powerful political work that moves the masses with

greater influence than a hundred or a thousand words.

When the functionaries lead the masses and set examples
Editorial Bureau

JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990

for them with their deeds, laboring at difficult and

backbreaking work ahead of others, making a breakthrough for moving forward, the masses will get

impressed and renew and reaffirm their resolve to win

the high honor of creation and innovation.

Functionaries must place themselves in the battle sites

where sparks are flying, working with rock drills and

lathes and manning the most difficult and backbreaking

parts. Thus, with their own practical examples, they will

kindle fire in the hearts of the masses and lead them to

uninterrupted miracles and innovations.

It is an important part of political work for functionaries

to kindly look after the masses' problems in livelihood

and to work most sincerely to solve any possible difficulties for them.

While working with base levels, functionaries must not

belittle problems in the livelihood of the masses but

make positive efforts to satisfy their demands in a timely

and responsible manner. Whatever they do, functionaries must always think about the people first with the

awareness that they are servants of the people, and

highly display the spirit of throwing themselves into

work with enthusiasm at any time if it is work for the

people. This should become a rule ofthinking and acting

for our functionaries to follow without fail, at any place

and in everything they do. In the old days, commanding

personnel of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army

loved their unit members profoundly and looked after

them closely, allowing no gap whatsoever between them

while living together. Likewise, only when functionaries

mingle with the masses closely, when they show them

their true concerns and strive to solve any difficulties in

their life, everybody will come to uphold the party

wholeheartedly, entrusting the party with their destiny

entirely and highly displaying devotion and selfsacrificing spirit to carry through party policy to the end.

Thus, all the functionaries must go down to base levels

and launch political work, work with people, aggressively

and substantially and, by doing so, become true indoctrinators and leaders for the masses.

Next important in connection with the task of all the

functionary going in deeply into realities and mobilizing

the masses vigorously is to plan and coordinate organizational work.

To plan and coordinate organizational work solidly is an

important matter in ensuring that the revolutionary zeal

of the masses enhanced by political work show its

practical results.

Only with the backing of close organizational work will it

be possible to move the masses and organize and mobilize them; only by relying on the strength of the masses

will it be possible to accomplish the current revolutionary tasks.

In order to go down to base levels and organize and

mobilize the masses, functionaries must first have specific plans and designs, then find out the actual conditions.

To do so is a prerequisite for getting organizational work

done in a correct way.

When going down to base levels, functionaries must have

an active stand with specific plans and clear-cut designs

to thoroughly implement our great leader's teachings and

party policies, then find out the actual conditions ofthe

respective base levels comprehensively and specifically.

In fighting the enemy, one must know about the enemy

to win; likewise, great successes are possible in the

fulfillment of economic tasks only when the actual

conditions are fully grasped. When they have gone down

to base levels, functionaries must, without fail, find out

and grasp all specific facts about the ideological conditions of the working people there, the conditions of

facilities, the progress in securing materials and supplies,

and possible bottlenecks.

Iffunctionaries going down to base levels are to carry out

their organizational work in a planned and coordinated

way, they must discuss with the producer masses to work

out correct measures and find correct ways and means to

solve problems in production.

The main purpose of functionaries going down to base

levels is to solve problems in production and see that

party policies are implemented unconditionally and

thoroughly. Functionaries going down to base levels

must find out the actual conditions there and correctly

analyze and evaluate bottlenecks in production. Through

earnest talks with the producer masses, they will find

ways and means to break them and establish correct

methodology.

Especially, with regard to suggestions made by the

respective base levels to break such bottlenecks, functionaries must address them in a responsible manner. If

they should merely put down in their memo those

suggestions and fail to effectively carry out organizational work to take care of them personally and in a

responsible manner, it would be totally meaningless for

them to go down to base levels in the first place and the

masses could even find their visit a nuisance. With

regard to suggestions made by the producer masses, it

constitutes an expression of a grave case of formalism

and expedientialism to merely put them down in a

memo and fail to do the required organizational work in

a responsible and substantial manner. Functionaries

should always be sincere and responsible to the masses.

Once functionaries have gone in among the masses and

found correct ways and means to break bottlenecks, they

must help functionaries ofthe respective units positively

in their efforts to carry them out.

However, functionaries may go down to base levels and

assist the economic organizational work there but they
JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990 Editorial Bureau

must not take over everything and monopolize it. Doing

so has nothing to do with assisting the base levels

substantially.

The masters of the respective work, those directly in

charge of it, are through and through the functionaries

and the producer masses of the respective unit. Therefore, it is important to assist them and lead them actively

in the direction of having the masters properly pull their

weight as masters and enhancing the role of lower-level

functionaries. Only by doing so can we be successful with

every work we do and solve problems smoothly.

Functionaries must go in deeply into realities and render

active assistance to get economic organizational work to

be closely planned and coordinated as required by the

Taean work system. They must help lower-level functionaries organize and command production efficiently

with high organizational ability and ability of revolutionary deployment.

That functionaries are ensured with actual conditions

allowing them to go down to base levels is an important

requirement in their fulfilling satisfactorily their basic

responsibility and role as true indoctrinators and organizers by going in deeply into realities and organizing

and mobilizing the masses vigorously.

Party organizations must ensure the necessary conditions for all the functionaries to be able to go down to

base levels on a regular basis and fully discharge their

duty and role as the masses' indoctrinators and organizers.

Important in this respect is to do away with miscellaneous meetings and cumbersome paperwork. Excessive

meetings and paperwork restrict functionaries in their

activity, barring them from going down to base levels

regularly and tying them down to their office desks.

When a necessary meeting is held, good preparations

should be made in advance and the meeting should be

made a short but effective one by doing away with

formalities. Also, party organizations must end boldly

the practice ofholding meetings on matters that can very

well be arranged individually, as well as the old work

method of substituting meetings and paperwork for

every work. Thus, they must ensure that all the functionaries can go down to base levels boldly, go in among the

masses actively and fully discharge their duty and role as

the indoctrinators and organizers of the masses.

Today, our party is calling all the people into a heroic

struggle to generate a new great revolutionary upswing in

the socialist construction, and the flames of struggle to

create a new "Speed of the 90's" are raging throughout

the country.

The movement to create a new "Speed of the 90's" is a

rewarding, honorable struggle for generating great

leaping developments again in the socialist construction

of the 90's—by bringing into maximum play the inexhaustible creative strength of our working class and

people who, inheriting the fine tradition of our revolution that continues uninterrupted innovations and

advances under the banner of the chuche ideology, are

united around the party and the leader in one mind. To

accelerate the general march of the 90's and thereby

advance the socialist construction vigorously along the

path ofsure victory and innovation is an honorable duty

that the times and history have imposed on us.

All the functionaries must firmly establish the revolutionary view of the masses, go in deeply into realities

where the masses work and live, and organize and

mobilize them energetically. By doing so, they will

perform uninterrupted innovations and feats on all

fronts of socialist construction.

Our people, united around the party Central Committee

led by the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song, firmly and

in one and the same mind, are accelerating the new

general march. Invincible is their revolutionary cause,

the great cause of socialism and communism, and only

victory and glory are in store for them.

Our Party Is a Mighty Mass Movement To

Enhance the Role of Youth as the Spearhead in

902D0016B Pyongyang KULLOJA in Korean No 5,

May 90 pp 23-29

[Article by Yi Hyong-sop]

[Text] In our country today, the Youth Shock Brigade

[YSB] movement is going on dynamically under the

sagacious leadership ofthe party and, amid the awesome

flames ofthis movement, youth are enhancing their role

as the spearhead extraordinarily.

Thanks to the role of youth as the spearhead, breakthroughs are being made in the struggles to achieve the

grand targets of socialist economic construction, with

great monumental creations rising like a forest, adding

luster to the workers party era. It is a great pride of our

party and people to have those reliable youth who are

creditably performing their role as the spearhead in the

socialist construction.

The YSB movement is a mighty mass movement to

enhance the role of youth as the spearhead in the

socialist construction.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK [Workers

Party of Korea] Central Committee and secretary ofthe

party Central Committee, pointed out:

"To ensure that youth take the lead in the socialist

economic construction, we must launch various mass

movements among them vigorously.

"The YSB movement is an innovation movement to

prompt youth to kindle a collective innovation drive and

accomplish economic tasks successfully."

Youth are pioneers—and people most directly in

charge—of nature remaking and social reform. They are

full oflife, full of energy; knowing of no fears is a special

quality of theirs. They are sensitive to things new,

endowed with a progressive spirit and ready to go

through thick and thin in a struggle forjustice and truth.

Because ofthis fine disposition they bear, they represent

a segment of greatest vitality in the society and a mighty

force ofthe socialist construction, performing the role of

the spearhead, the shock brigade, in the economic construction.

The role of youth as the spearhead in the socialist

construction is not, after all, one that is played spontaneously, however. It comes into fuller play through the

YSB movement, the movement embodying the demands

of youth, launched vigorously under the correct leadership of the party and the leader.

The YSB movement is a mighty mass movement in

which youth bring on collective innovations to carry out

the socialist economic construction successfully, and in

which they are trained and revolutionized. Only by

waging the YSB movement vigorously will it be possible

to bring into fuller play the fine disposition and special

quality which youth possess, and thereby to enhance

their role as the spearhead in the socialist construction to

extraordinarily high levels.

The YSB movement, first of all, makes it possible to

enhance the role of youth as the spearhead by leading

them to make breakthroughs for advances in the socialist

economic construction.

Collective innovation is a powerful driving force that

makes it possible to enhance their role as the spearhead

in the socialist construction. In the course ofstriving for

collective innovations, individual youths come to put

their strength and wisdom together and bring their

united power into maximum play. In the socialist construction, the role of youth as the spearhead comes into

full play through collective innovation drives.

The YSB movement is a collective innovation movement in which youth are assigned to work most difficult

and most important in socialist economic construction

projects and make breakthroughs there. When the YSB

movement is waged vigorously, it becomes possible to

strengthen unity and cooperation among youth and let

them help and lead one another to give full play to the

spirit of collectivism and mass heroism. Thus, the movement makes it possible to turn all ofthem into creators of

innovation and feat, and into reliable members of the

shock brigade and the spearhead of the socialist construction.

The YSB movement also trains youth organizationally

and ideologically amid practical revolutionary struggles

and make them grow to be communist revolutionaries,

thereby making it possible to enhance their role as the

spearhead in the socialist construction.

How creditably youth perform their role as the spearhead in the socialist construction largely depends on how

they are prepared in organizational ideological terms.

Organizational ideological preparations serve as a factor

determining the role of youth; precisely in preparing
JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990 Political and Ideological

them firmly in organizational ideological terms lies a

solid guarantee for enhancing the role of youth in the

socialist construction.

The organizational ideological tempering of youth and

their revolutionary training are carried out amid practical revolutionary struggles as well as in organizational

ideological life. It is through difficult and complicated

practical struggles that people are trained infinitely and

grow to be revolutionaries. The YSB movement is a mass

ideological remolding movement to train and foster

youth into communist revolutionaries amid awesome

practical struggles to make breakthroughs in the socialist

construction. When the YSB movement is waged vigorously, youth will, amid the practical revolutionary

struggle of the socialist economic construction, clearly

recognize the correctness and vitality of the revolutionary ideology ofthe party and the leader. They will be

further trained in organizational ideological terms and

grow to be revolutionaries with a firm revolutionary

world view. It thus enables youth to fully discharge their

mission and basic responsibilities as the shock brigade,

the spearhead, in the socialist construction.

Thus, the YSB movement serves as a mighty mass

movement to enhance the role of youth as the spearhead

in the socialist construction through their collective

innovations and organizational ideological training.

In our country, the YSB movement has deepened and

developed uninterruptedly under the sagacious leadership ofthe party and the leader and its power and vitality

are being fully displayed amid the practical struggles of

the socialist construction.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song early on founded

the ideological theory concerning the YSB movement in

the days of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle,

which was embodied in the life at guerrilla bases,

marking the beginning of the movement and laying the

foundation of its glorious tradition. Our great leader

unveiled the grand nature-remaking plan immediately

after liberation and put the hot-blooded youth in the

forefront ofthe struggle for its implementation. This put

the YSB movement on a powerful upswing.

Through the YSB movement, our youth always performed their role as the spearhead most creditably in the

difficult struggle to build a new Korea, in the fierce

Fatherland Liberation War, and in the solemn struggles

for the postwar rehabilitation and for the socialist construction. By doing so, they rendered great services to the

fatherland and the people.

As the revolution and construction move forward onto

higher stages, the YSB movement must be deepened and

developed uninterruptedly. Only by doing so can we

further enhance the role of youth as the spearhead in the

socialist construction and accelerate the revolution and

construction.

At a time the task of converting the whole society into

the chuche ideology came to the fore, the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il put forth his creative ideology and theory

concerning the YSB in accordance with the new demand

of the developing revolution, and sagaciously led the

movement to be more organized and more positive. By

doing so, he ushered in a higher phase in the development of the YSB movement.

In this connection, it is ofimportant significance that he

organized the Speed Battle Youth Shock Brigade

[SBYSB]on 16 May 1975.

As pointed out by the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, the

SBYSB is a shock brigade taking the lead in difficult and

arduous work to implement party policy. It is a school

for youth to train them into a reliable next generation of

the revolution through practical struggles ofthe socialist

construction.

The SBYSB's basic mission is to convert the whole

society into the chuche ideology. Its basic duty is to

always take the lead in difficult, backbreaking work and

make breakthroughs in remaking nature as required by

the chuche ideology, and to train youth into reliable heirs

of the great chuche cause. The SBYSB takes as its

fundamental principle of activity the speed battle which

is the basic form of battle in the socialist construction

and which is the mightiest principle of revolutionary

deployment in work.

The SBYSB, unlike YSB's in the past, is a permanent

regular brigade that operates as an orderly military-type

organization. Sufficiently equipped with technical

means, it is the mightiest shock brigade that throws up

gigantic creations for the ages at a speed combining that

of the chollima and the speed battle.

The SBYSB is an upgraded new form of YSB further

enhancing the role of youth as the spearhead in the

socialist construction.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, inheriting and developing the ideological theory ofthe great leader Comrade

Kim Il-song concerning the YSB movement, put forth

the revolutionary guideline on organizing the new,

upgraded form of YSB; the guideline was carried out

brilliantly. The SBYSB's founding was the precious

fruition of his creative ideological theoretical activity

and his energetic practical activity. It brilliantly realized

the wish of our youth to become the standard-bearers of

the shock brigade and to carry out the revolutionary

policy of the speed battle for the implementation of the

program to convert the whole society into the chuche

ideology.

The founding ofthe SBYSB lifted the YSB movement in

our country onto a new higher level of development,

paving the way for an epoch-making turnaround in

enhancing the role of youth as the spearhead in the

socialist construction.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, who ushered the YSB

movement into a high new stage, led the movement
Political and Ideological

JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990

sagaciously, showing clear-cut path for the movement to

follow for each period and each phase ofthe revolution.

Important in the leadership of the dear Comrade Kim

Chong-il who sagaciously led the YSB movement was,

first of all, that he had the YSB take the front-and-center

position in the socialist economic construction and lead

the van in effecting a sweeping revolutionary upswing.

The socialist economic construction is an awesome

nature-remaking work to conquer and control nature. If

we are to succeed in the socialist economic construction,

we need shock brigades to carry out the mission of

conquering the most difficult and important parts of

economic construction like we need death-defying

squads in a war to make breakthroughs for advances. It

is none other than the YSB that fulfills this honorable

mission in the socialist economic construction. Only

when the YSB takes the lead and makes breakthroughs

for advances can we see miracles and innovations performed in the socialist construction and the flames ofthe

great revolutionary upswing burn briskly across the

nation.

Saying that the whole nation seethes only when youth

seethe, that only when the YSB make breakthroughs for

further advances can there be an upswing in the socialist

construction, the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il put YSB's

at the forefront to bring on a great revolutionary upswing

throughout the country.

Whenever the nation faced important tasks—such as at

the time of the struggle to mark the 30th anniversary of

the founding of the party with grand celebrations of

victors, the struggle to implement the decisions of the

sixth party congress, the struggle to implement the decision ofthe Hamhung plenum to capture the height of 1.5

million tons in nonferrous metal production, as well as

the tasks to construct the northern railroad and built up

Pyongyang, the capital of the revolution, into a grand,

colorful city—the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il summoned the YSB and led them to fully perform their role

as the spearhead.

Especially, whenever it launched a new operation in its

economic construction, our party put the SBYSB, a

mighty shock brigade, at its forefront to make breakthroughs for advances.

The party assigned the SBYSB to the difficult and

important parts of economic construction and they finished them up in a blitz in the high speed battle spirit.

Thus, the SBYSB took less than two months to finish the

huge Pyongyang-Madong railway electrification project,

which would normally have taken more than two years,

to create a new speed ofloyalty in railway electrification.

The SBYSB also took only two months to complete the

difficult and gigantic grinder project for No. 3 Ore

Dressing Station at the Komdok Mining Complex and

this innovative achievement set a fine example in the

creation of the "Speed of the 80's."

With the opening of the 1990's, the dear Comrade Kim

Chong-il, at the beginning of the new year, arranged for

a SBYSB activists meeting to carry out tasks set forth in

our great leader's New Year's address and the decision of

the 17th plenum of the sixth party Central Committee.

This reflects his lofty intent to put the SBYSB at the

forefront of the struggle for another revolutionary

upswing and thereby to spur on the struggle to create a

new "Speed of the 90's" and make the whole nation

seethe.

Thanks to the sagacious leadership ofthe dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il, the YSB could always take the frontand-center position in the struggle to carry out grand

socialist construction plans of the party, making breakthroughs for its advances and leading the van in effecting

a new revolutionary upswing.

Next important in the leadership of the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il with the YSB movement was that while

holding a tight grip on ideology as the base of the

movement, he gave priority to political work, ideological

remolding work, above all other work.

The YSB movement is a movement of loyalty in which

youth devote their ardor and wisdom to adding glory to

the age of chuche. Since the burning loyalty of youth to

the party and the leader plays a decisive role in the YSB

movement, it is imperative to grasp firmly the ideology

of youth and give priority to political work, ideological

remolding work, over all other work.

In the YSB movement, the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il

brilliantly embodied the ideological theory of chuche

that the ideological consciousness of people plays a

decisive role in revolution and constitution, and set forth

the creative guideline on firmly grasping ideology as the

base of the movement and, at the same time, on giving

priority to political work, ideological remolding work,

over all other work. He provided energetic guidance to

see that it is thoroughly carried through in the YSB

movement.

When some Socialist Working Youth League [SWYL]

functionaries once showed a tendency to regard the

SBYSB as a mere labor corps and to belittle political

work, ideological remolding work, for YSB members

while focusing only on guidance for the fulfillment of

economic tasks, the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il caught

it on time and straightened out the situation. The dear

Comrade Kim Chong-il kindly opened their eyes to the

fact that the SBYSB had been created neither to solve

any labor shortage nor to help expedite some specific

construction projects but to foster the new generations—

the generations that experienced no hard times nor any

ordeals of the revolution—into chuche-type communist

revolutionaries by making them ideologically tested and

physically prepared amid the practical revolutionary

struggles to defend and implement party lines and policies. At the same time, he established an orderly work
JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990 Political and Ideological

system for the YSB movement to give priority to political work, ideological remolding work, over all other

work, and even taught specific ways and means to do so.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il saw to it that SWYL

functionaries go down to battle sites where YSB members are assigned and do their political work on a regular

basis, and that central art troupes and other art and

propaganda teams visit them frequently at construction

sites with their performances. He thus ensured that

economic agitation goes on ambitiously at every battle

site where YSB members work.

Thanks to the energetic leadership of the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il, it became possible for the YSB movement

to give priority to political work, ideological remolding

work, over all other work and foster YSB members into

fine chuche-type communist revolutionaries, and to spur

on YSB members to a higher display of their burning

loyalty to the party and loyalty—and to an uninterrupted

creation of miracles and innovations in the socialist

construction.

Also important in the leadership of the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il with the YSB movement is that he led the

YSB activity to go on boldly and daringly.

Inasmuch as the YSB movement is a mass movement of

youth, leading the movement in a way that suits the

characteristics of youth is its inherent demand. Youth

have lofty ideals and great ambitions; whatever they do,

they like to do them in a big way and at a roaring pace.

Only by undertaking YSB movement in a bold, daring

fashion will it be possible to bring into full play the fine

disposition youth have, enhance the role of youth as the

spearhead in the socialist construction and thus to bring

about new miracles and innovations.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, who has acquired

abundant experiences in leading youth movements from

early on, always led the YSB movement to be undertaken

in a bold, daring fashion.

To be bold in entrusting work to the YSB is an important

condition for ensuring that YSB activities go on in a

daring fashion. The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il

entrusted youth with the huge northern railroad project

in its entirety and, in doing so, had the SBYSB undertake

the most important segment of the project. In the

Kwangbok Street construction, too, the two largest-scale

and most gorgeous projects—namely, the Palace for

Students and Children and Youth Hotel projects—were

left to the hands of the SBYSB. Thanks to the dear

Comrade Kim Chong-il who boldly entrusted the YSB

with the rewarding tasks to build what would be great

monuments adding luster to the workers party era, the

YSB movement could always set out high targets and

push big projects in a daring fashion.

To launch operations to capture the next height as soon

as one height is captured is an important requirement in

spurring on the YSB movement boldly and daringly.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, unveiling the blueprint of the gigantic capital city construction, called the

SBYSB into the Changgwang Street construction. Then

successively, he entrusted the SBYSB with the construction ofthe Great Study Hall ofthe People, Changgwangwon, Pyongyang No. 1 Department Store, Munsu Street,

Ansangtaek Street and Kwangbok Street. Thanks to the

sagacious leadership ofthe dear Comrade Kim Chong-il,

the SBYSB had clear-cut targets and could make innovations and advances with no interruptions in the capital

city construction, throwing up a large number of great

monumental creations in a short period of time and

thereby greatly contributing to building Pyongyang into

a more magnificent and gorgeous city and to accelerating

the socialist construction in our country.

Also important in the leadership of the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il is that he made it sure that the YSB is

maintained solidly and that the YSB movement

strengthens and develops uninterruptedly.

The YSB is the nucleus ofthe YSB movement. It is also

in direct charge ofthe YSB movement. Furthermore, the

decisive force that drives on the YSB movement is none

other than the YSB. Only by maintaining the YSB firmly

can we deepen and develop the YSB movement and

successfully accomplish tasks that confront the YSB

movement.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il, who always had paid

great attention to strengthening and developing the YSB

movement, focused, above all, on building up the YSB as

combat ranks infinitely faithful to the party.

Thanks to the energetic leadership of the dear Comrade

Kim Chong-il, the YSB commanding staffwas organized

by functionaries faithful to the party and the leader,

capable, ambitious and full ofpassion; ideological indoctrination work and organizational life strengthened

among YSB members, and revolutionary work system

upholding the leadership of the party was put in place

and an iron discipline and order was firmly established

among them.

Like the combat power of an army is determined by

soldiers and their arms and equipment, that of the YSB

is decided by YSB members and the material and

technical means at their disposal. In this age of science

and technology, unless the YSB is equipped with modern

material and technical means, it cannot properly discharge its mission as a shock brigade to make breakthroughs in the implementation of party policy.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il provided the YSB with

modern material and technical means. Especially, he saw

to it that the SBYSB is equipped with various modern

machines and means of transport well as highperformance construction machinery.

The YSB today has strengthened and developed into

combat ranks of revolutionary fighters firmly united in
10 Political and Ideological

JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990

the ideology and the will of our party, into a combatready unit that can fulfill any difficult task assigned by

the party.

The sagacious leadership of the dear Comrade Kim

Chong-il is the basic factor of all the victories and

successes that have been achieved in the YSB movement. It is the source of the inexhaustible strength that

strengthened and developed the movement onto a new

high level.

The dear Comrade Kim Chong-il is indeed is the great

heir of the great cause of the chuche revolution and the

sagacious leader ofthe Korean youth movement and the

YSB movement.

The YSB movement has traversed a militant course full

of pride during the past period under the leadership of

our party, made great achievements for the party, the

revolution and the fatherland.

The greatest of all the achievements made by the YSB

movement is that it, upholding the grand socialist construction program of the party, built a large number of

great monumental creations to add luster to the workers

party era.

Comrade Kim Chong-il, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central

Committee and secretary of the party Central Committee, pointed out:

"SBYSB members, deeply aware of the mission of the

youth as our parry's reserve corps and the heirs of the

great cause of the chuche revolution, highly displayed

mass heroism in fixing up Wangjaesan, Samjiyon and

other historical battlesites and historical sites of the

revolution—symbols of the revolutionary history of our

great leader and our party—as halls of indoctrination in

revolutionary tradition. They did the same in carrying out

such monumental construction projects of our times

undertaken under farsighted plans as the International

Friendship Exhibition Hall, the Great Hall of Study of

the People, Changgwang Street, and No. 3 Ore Dressing

Station at the Komdok Mining Complex."

YSB members, highly displaying the spirit of collective

innovation and mass heroism in the past period, built

numerous structures positively contributing to the political, material and cultural lives of our people and to the

economic construction of our country.

Especially, SBYSB members fixed up various historical

battle sites and historical sites of the revolution, which

are symbols of the revolutionary history of our great

leader and our party, as halls of indoctrination in revolutionary tradition. They greatly contributed to the

nationwide railway electrification by carrying out the

electrification projects on 14 segments, the total length

ofwhich reaching thousands ofkilometers, and by laying

new rails. They also performed extraordinarily remarkable feats in the struggle to build Pyongyang, the capital

city ofthe revolution, into a more majestic and gorgeous

city, and threw up as many as 154 great monumental

creations throughout the country. Through these

rewarding struggles, YSB members fully displayed their

honor as the honor guard unit and the shock brigade

protecting and defending the party through construction.

From the very first day they embark on a construction

project entrusted them by the party, YSB members

would fully display their patriotic devotion and mass

heroism, pushing construction in a bold, daring fashion

full of ambition and passion and thereby finishing in a

matter of a few months what normally would take years,

and creating the great speed of our times, the speed of

loyalty.

YSB members have always completed the construction

projects entrusted them by the party as best as they could

as gifts to the party and the leader in token of their

loyalty, as great monumental creations adding luster to

the workers party era. Such masterpieces of chuche

architecture as the Great Hall of Study ofthe People, the

International Friendship Exhibition Hall, the Mangyongdae Palace of Students and Children, and other great

monumental creations by YSB members are a vivid

illustration of the daily growing and prospering features

of the chuche Korea in the workers party era, and a

powerful demonstration to the whole world the heroic

mettle of YSB members of the chuche-type new generation indoctrinated and trained by our party.

Another accomplishment of the YSB is that amid the

awesome practical struggles ofthe socialist construction,

it trained youth of new generations to be true communist

revolutionaries and reliable heirs ofthe great cause ofthe

chuche revolution.

The YSB is not only a mighty shock brigade for the

socialist construction but also an excellent school for

training new generations into communist revolutionaries. In the past period, the YSB movement has trained

a large number of youths into chuche-type communist

revolutionaries and reliable workers of the socialist construction.

By being armed even more firmly with the chuche

ideology and trained organizationally and ideologically

amid the awesome practical struggles of the socialist

construction, YSB members grow steadily to be chuchetype communist revolutionaries possessing lofty communist features and reliable heirs ofthe revolution. They

make their beautiful ideals and wishes bloom in their

carrying out the party's grand socialist construction

program, which they do not for any personal honor or

pleasure for themselves but solely for the sake of the

party and the revolution, totally dedicating their most

precious youthful days to it. Such is the true picture of

our YSB members.

Through the YSB movement, the SBYSB in the 15 years

produced 11 Labor Hero title holders and 83 "Kim

Il-song Youth Honor Award" winners; besides, some
JPRS-AKU-90-009

31 December 1990 Political and Ideological 11

26,000 were awarded state decorations and more than

10,500 SWYL members had the honor of becoming

WPK members.

In addition, amid the practical revolutionary struggles of

the socialist construction, many YSB members grew to

be capable functionaries who are trained politically and

ideologically and well prepared technically and administratively. Yesterday's YSB members are today working

as functionaries of party and government organizations,

economic agencies, working people's organizations, factories, enterprises and at cooperative farms in cities and

rural areas, in coal mines and fishing villages.

The new generations are to go forward shouldering the

destiny of the fatherland and the revolution. The fact

that they have been trained to be communist revolutionaries infinitely faithful to the party and the leader and

excellent functionaries is the most precious achievement

made in the YSB movement. It is an immense pride and

honor of the movement.

The enormous tasks of the socialist construction confronting our party and people today demand that we

strengthen and develop the YSB movement more than

ever.

Important in strengthening and developing the YSB

movement in accordance with the demand of the developing realities is to study in depth, and master, the

leadership of our party that has led the YSB movement

on the path of sure victory and honor, along with the

precious achievements and experiences acquired in its

course, and to embody the results thoroughly in the YSB

movement.

The precious achievements and experiences made by our

party in the YSB movement constitute a solid capital

and valuable assets in strengthening and developing this

movement. SWYL functionaries and YSB commanders

must study in depth and master our party's immortal

achievements and abundant experiences in the YSB

movement, embodying the results thoroughly in the

practice of the revolution. By doing so, they will further

strengthen and develop the YSB movement.

Confronting the YSB movement today is the honorable

task to lead the van of the solemn struggle to make the

1990's a historic decade of victory holding aloft the

programmatic tasks set forth by the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song in his 1990 New Year's address and at

the 17th plenum of the sixth party Central Committee.

As they performed the feats ofloyalty in the great march

of the 80's, YSB members and commanders must once

more play the role ofthe spearhead in generating a great

revolutionary upswing in the socialist construction in the

great march of the 90's. Construction sites of major

projects are the battlefields for YSB members to rush to

and are the worthy workplaces for them to perform labor

exploits in. YSB members must highly display the spirit

of collective innovation and mass heroism in major

construction projects and, by doing so, become heroes of

construction, heroes of creation, in the creation of a new

"Speed of the 90's."

YSB members and commanders will, in the future, too,

continue to add luster to their honor as the shock brigade

and as the party's faithful youth vanguard taking the lead

in the most difficult and backbreaking work in the

implementation of the grand socialist construction program of the party.
