[Text] Currently, our people are vigorously accelerating

the grand march ofthe 1990's amid the great excitement

and joy over the happy national event in which they have

again reverentially elected Comrade Kim Il-song, the

founder and leader of our party and republic, as president of the DPRK, and over the historic policy speech

delivered by the respected and beloved leader.

In his historic policy speech, "Let Us Bring the Superiority of Socialism in Our Country Into Full Play," the

great leader Comrade Kim Il-song elucidated in depth

the superiority of socialism in our country which our

people have achieved through a long arduous struggle,

set forth programmatic tasks to bring its invincible might

into full play, and clearly indicated the path to accelerating the independent, peaceful reunification of the

fatherland and strengthening the solidarity of the international revolutionary forces.

The respected and beloved leader Comrade Kim Il-song's

historic speech is an immortal compendium elucidating the

basic characteristics, inherent superiority, and great might

of our socialism in which the human-centered chuche ideology has been realized; a militant banner which brilliantly

illuminates the path that the government of our republic

should take and which provides our people with an invincible ideological and theoretical weapon for fulfilling the

cause of socialism and accelerating the independent,

peaceful reunification of the country; and an immortal

classic masterpiece which has further developed and

enriched the revolutionary theory of chuche.

All party members and workers should study and comprehend in depth the great leader's policy speech, in

which the profound ideology and theory on consummating the cause ofsocialism and communism, as well as

theoretical and practical questions arising in bringing the

superiority ofsocialism in our country into full play, are

monolithically systematized and fully synthesized, and

should bring about a new great revolutionary upsurge in

socialist construction as well as give full play to the

superiority of our own way of socialism.

0)..

Socialism in our country is unique human-centered

socialism.

What should be at the center in the inquiry ofsocialism

is a critical question in clearly defining the inherent

superiority of socialism and a fundamental question in

successfully fulfilling the cause of socialism.

The question ofthe inherent superiority ofsocialism can be

accurately clarified only when socialism is examined on the

basis ofthe chuche ideology, with man at the center.

In his historic policy speech, the great leader Comrade

Kim Il-song clarified the characteristics and superiority

ofsocialism in our country from the chuche-based viewpoint and method with man at the center.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song taught as follows:

"Socialism in our country is, in a word, human-centered

socialism embodying the chuche ideology. A basic characteristic of our socialism is that ours is truly a society of

the people in which the masses have become the real

masters and in which everything serves for the masses."

("Let Us Bring the Superiority of Socialism in Our

Country Into Full Play," monograph, p 2)

Socialism in our country is our own way of socialism

embodying the chuche ideology.

The superiority ofsocialism lies in the superiority ofhuman

beings. Just as the value of a man is defined by his ideology,

so is the superiority of a society defined by the degree of

greatness of the ideology which that particular society

embodies.

The great chuche ideology demands that we resolve all

problems arising in the revolution and construction by our

own judgment and conviction and by our own efforts.

Our people chose socialism in our country of their own

accord, and it is a precious reward of the revolution

which they have won by their own efforts through a

protracted struggle. Having chosen the road to socialism

by their own conviction in order to fulfill the demands of

the chuche ideology, our people are building socialism

with the chuche ideology as the guiding principle, while

solving all problems arising in socialist construction to

suit the demands of our people and actual conditions in

our country from the chuche point of view.

The process of building socialism by embodying the chuche

ideology is one of strengthening the leading force of the

revolution and remolding all aspects ofsociety in accordance

with the demands of chuche; in other words, the process of

going forward with thoroughly establishing chuche.

Strengthening the leading force of the revolution is a

basic problem in the struggle for socialism.

Unless the masses are fully prepared as the powerful

leading force ofthe revolution and united tightly around

the leader in organizational and ideological terms under

party leadership, it is impossible to win victory in the

struggle to seize power, or to establish the socialist

system and consolidate and develop it and bring its

superiority into full play. The solidness ofsocialism and

its superiority depend on the degree of powerfulness of

the leading force of the revolution that has been built:

In the revolution and construction, we have always put

primary efforts into strengthening the leading force of

the revolution and stepped up the work of enhancing the

wholehearted unity among the leader, the party, and the
Editorial Bureau

JPRS-AKU-91-002

masses as well as strengthening the leading force of the

revolution, in keeping pace with the revolution and

construction as they developed onto a new, higher stage

Our party and the government of our republic have

firmly established chuche in ideology by arming the

masses with the guiding thought of our revolution, the

chuche ideology, and have worked the ranks of the

revolution into a socioeconomic organism by strengthening the party and banding all of the people tightly

around the leader in organizational and ideological

terms under party leadership. In our country the wholehearted unity among the leader, the party, and the

masses has been fully realized—today the great leader

and the steeled party stands firmly at the center of the

force of the revolution, and the masses of people who

have overcome all kinds of ordeals, sharing the same fate

with the party, are united tightly around the party and

the leader with one and the same mind.

We fully realized the wholehearted unity among the leader,

the party, and the masses by giving definite priority to the

work of strengthening the leading force of the revolution,

and made the masses fulfill their responsibility and role as

masters. This was the decisive factor which has enabled us

to successfully carry out the socialist revolution and socialist

construction, establish our own unique socialist system, and

continually consolidate and develop it on a reliable sociopolitical foundation.

Creatively remaking all aspects of society to suit the

independent demands of the masses of people is the

basic direction in building an anthropocentric society.

Only by creatively remolding all aspects ofsociety to suit

the independent demands of the masses will it be possible to build human-centered socialism in which man is

placed at the center of every thought and under which

everything in society serves for the masses of people.

Our party and the government of our republic have

consistently adhered to an independent and creative

position and thoroughly implemented the line of selfdependence, self-support, and self-reliant defense in the

entire course of socialist construction.

Our party and the government of our republic have practiced independent-oriented governance aimed at protecting

and fulfilling the independent stand and attitude of the

masses, and have built a self-supporting economy capable of

standing on its own feet while meeting the material needs of

the people. We have also achieved a self-reliant defense

strength capable of guarding reliably the security of the

country and the revolutionary gains by our own efforts.

With self-dependence in politics, self-support in economy,

and self-reliance in defense established firmly, our country

has become an independent socialist state capable of constantly developing by its own efforts, while resolutely

rejecting any political domination or interference, any economic or technological pressure, or any military threat,

without being subjugated to or dependent on anyone—a

powerful socialist state with a sound economic foundation

and a reliable military deterrence.

Socialism in our country—because it is based on a reliable

sociopolitical foundation, a powerful material and technological socialist foundation, and on an invincible self-reliant

defense capability—shines as our own unique socialism

which is most solid and remarkable. The leader, the party,

and the masses, united with one and the same mind, form

the powerful leading force of the revolution and are constantly strengthening and developing themselves on the

sound basis ofself-deperidance, self-support, and self-reliant

defense. This is the source ofthe might and invincibility of

socialism in our country, and it is where we find the

guarantee for fulfilling the cause of socialism to the end,

without wavering in the face of any difficult and complex

circumstances.

Socialism in our country is a superior anthropocentric

socialism which is satisfactorily guaranteeing worthwhile

socialist life for the masses of working people.

The superiority and progressive nature of a specific form

of socialism are defined in accordance with how satis-'

factorily it guarantees an independent and creative life

for the people in the political, economic, and cultural

aspects of life.

Socialist life is an independent and creative life enjoyed

by the masses of people as masters of the state and

society, a collectivist life in which people share joys and

sorrows while helping and leading one another. Today

our people each enjoy the kinds ofpolitical, cultural, and

material lives which fit with their inherent needs as

social beings and their social ideals under the most

remarkable socialist system in our country.

Wishing to enjoy an affluent material life is an inherent

demand of man as a social being. Accordingly, the

superiority of a specific social system finds its expression

in providing all members of society with an equally

abundant material life.

Material life is basic to social life. Socialist material life,

on the one hand, should be sound so that it may be

conducive to making the people meet their independent

demands and guaranteeing a creative life for them, and

on the other, be equitable so that everyone may be better

off without a gap between rich and poor.

In our country everyone has the right to food, clothing, and

shelter and is assured by the state and society of conditions

necessary to exercise this right. Everyone, as soon as he is

born, is entitled to eat and receives a supply offood from the

state at a price so low as to be almost free, and they live not

knowing of tax. All workers participate in creative labor at

stable workplaces according to their ability, for the benefit

of society and for their own benefit and not Only receive

distributions according to the fruit of their labor but also

receive many additional benefits under the state's peopleminded measures. Today everyone in our country enjoys an

equally stable material life without having to worry about

his living—no one is singularly better-off, and there are no

ill-clothed and hungry people, unemployed, or beggars. In

our country the wealth created by the people is used wholly
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Editorial Bureau

to improve their own welfare, and their material lives are

constantly improving as socialist construction progresses.

The dignity and value of man as a social being find a

concentrated expression in political and cultural lives. It may

be said that people are living a life truly worthy of human

beings when they enjoy valuable political and cultural lives

simultaneously with an affluent material life.

In our country a superior system has been established in

which every member ofsociety can enjoy a rich cultural life.

Through cultural life people nurture the spirit of selfdependence and a creative ability, acquire a noble spiritual and moral ethos, and satisfy their diverse cultural

and emotional needs.

In our country people enjoy a complete right and freedom of

study and are brought up as a new type of human being

developed in all aspects. They study as long as they live,

thanks to the free compulsory education system, and live in

happiness enjoying health and longevity thanks to free

medicare and various people-minded measures. Our people

are bringing their wisdom and talents into bloom in developing socialist culture and art while enjoying a rich cultural

life to their hearts' content. All of our people live in

harmony with a noble character as independent human

beings and are living and fighting, brimming over with

hope, with pride in their lives and faith in the future, free

from all social evils.

What is most important in people's lives is to enjoy genuine

political freedom and rights as masters of the state and

society and maintain and glorify their precious sociopolitical existence. People realize their political independence

through socialist political lives and enjoy immortality amid

the trust and love of the collective by harmonizing their

individual lives with the life of the collective.

Today our people are freely participating in the management ofthe state and in social arid political activities as

true masters of government and all ofthem are engaged

in a political-organizational life as members of specific

social-political organizations. For our people, organizational life is political life aimed at fulfilling the requirements of their political lives, and such political life has

become a universal daily routine for all members of

society. Our people set forth the policies ofthe party and

the state through political life and participate in the

implementation of these policies with the attitude of

being the master, and forge blood ties with the sociopolitical organism centering around the party in this process. The political life being enjoyed by our people is

becoming the most valuable life for social beings for

whom the independent stand and attitude is as precious

as life itself—a life more precious and worthwhile than

anything else in the world.

In this way all our people enjoy a worthy political life

which fits with the inherent demands of man as a social

being, as well as a stable and equitable material life and

a wholesome cultural life, and therein lies the inherent

superiority of socialism in our countries.

Indeed socialism in our country is the kind of unique

anthropocentric socialism embodying the independent

stand and attitude, our own most remarkable type of

socialism, the genuine people's socialism, under which

all things in society serve for the masses.

(2)

To bring the superiority ofsocialism in our country into

full play and accelerate the chuche revolutionary cause is

an honorable task confronting us today.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song taught as follows:

"Today we are faced with the honorable task to capture

a new, higher plateau ofsocialism by vigorously accelerating the revolution and construction, and to give full

play to the superiority of socialism in our country."

(Ibid, p 7)

To vigorously accelerate socialist construction with a

firm grip on our party's general line ofstrengthening the

people's government and energetically executing three

revolutions, ideological, technological, and cultural,

arises as an important task in giving full play to the

superiority of socialism in our country.

The people's government is a powerful weapon for

socialist and communist construction, and the three

revolutions are its basic means. Socialism and communism are built under the people's government as their

weapon and brought into realization by means of three

revolutions—ideological, technological, and cultural.

To give full play to the superiority of the socialist, communist system and fulfill the cause of socialism and communism, we need invariably to continue the revolution even

after socialism has been established, and capture simultaneously the material as well as ideological fortresses, the

basic strategic goals of socialist, communist construction.

In order to bring the superiority of socialism in our

country into full play and consummate the cause of

socialism and communism, we should above all give

priority to the struggle to capture the ideological fortress.

That we should give priority to the struggle to capture the

ideological fortress is related to the fact that this struggle

is a task aimed at building the leading force of communist society. Needles to say, we need to capture the

material fortress in order to build communist society.

But it is impossible to build communism by capturing

only the material fortress. The task of capturing the
Editorial Bureau

JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991

material fortress is through-and-through a task designed

to create objective conditions necessary to build communist society, whereas the task to capture the ideological

fortress is one ofremaking the people, masters ofsociety,

in the communist way, namely, a task designed to build

the leading force of communist society. The task to

capture the ideological fortress constitutes the most

important substance of communist construction, and

success in socialist, communist construction, in the final

analysis, depends on how this task is carried out.

We should give priority to the struggle to capture the

ideological fortress and bring up all members of society

as communist-type human beings having the lofty communist ideology and a creative ability and work the

whole society into a communist collective banded

together with comradeship.

Seen from the point of view of human remolding, the

process ofsocialist, communist construction may be said

one ofrevolutionizing, working classifying, and intellectualizing all members of society. It is a natural process

that as society develops, the socio-economic condition of

all working people becomes increasingly oriented toward

working-classification, and their cultural and technological standards become increasingly oriented toward

intelllectualization. To actively promote revolutionization, working classification, and intellectualization and

turn all ofthe people into working classified intellectuals

and an intellectualized working class is precisely the

basic task which must be accomplished in socialist,

communist construction.

In order for all members of society to be brought up as

revolutionized, working classified, and intellectualized

communist-type human beings, we should vigorously

accelerate the ideological and cultural revolutions and

fully realize the revolutionization, working classification,

and intellectualization of the whole society.

Strengthening the leading force of revolution is an

important requirement in giving full play to the superiority ofsocialism in our country and vigorously accelerating the chuche revolutionary cause, the cause of

socialism and communism.

The leading force in socialist, communist construction is

not individuals but the socio-political collective united

in the comradely spirit and on the basis of collectivism.

Only when united tightly around the party in organizational and political terms, will the masses of people be

able to become a powerful leading force possessing an

invincible might, successfully push socialist, communist

construction, and give full play to the superiority of

socialism in our country.

What is basic in strengthening the leading force of the

revolution is to strengthen the party and solidify the

kindred ties between the party and the masses. The party

plays a decisive role in strengthening and developing the

leading force ofthe revolution. The party link the masses

of people to the leader in organizational and ideological

terms and band them tightly around him and convert the

leading force of the revolution into a powerful revolutionary force. The more socialist construction

progresses, the more we should endeavor to solidify the

unity and solidarity of our party based on the chuche

ideology and see to it that all ofthe people share the same

fate with the party to the end in the struggle to achieve

victory for the cause of socialism, the chuche cause.

Vigorous acceleration ofsocialist economic construction

designed to capture the material fortress of communism

is an important task in giving full play to the superiority

of socialism in our country.

Socialist economic construction is a worthy undertaking

to provide an independent and creative living condition

for the masses, a sacred struggle to strengthen the material and technological foundations ofsocialism and capture the material fortress of communism. The socialist

system founded by the socialist revolution can constantly consolidate and develop itself and give full play

to its superiority and vitality only when it is based on a

pertinent material and technological foundation. Only

when we develop productivity and increase the production of wealth through a vigorously acceleration of

socialist economic construction, will it be possible to

build a solid material and technological foundation of

socialism and improve the people's material and cultural

standards of living and bring the superiority of the

socialist system into full play.

We should keep a tight grip on our party's basic strategy in

socialist economic construction, namely, the line of

achieving the chucheization, modernization, and scientization of our national economy, and bring about a new

productive upturn in every field of the national economy.

Vigorous prosecution ofthe technological revolution is a

decisive guarantee for the successful execution of

socialist economic construction.

Socialist economic construction may be said none other

than a technical revolution. Without bringing technological development ahead, we can neither solve the

problem of freeing workers from arduous and toilsome

labor and effectively utilizing the nation's resources and

increasing the self-supporting ability of the national

economy nor develop the national economy at a fast

pace. The technological revolution is vital in achieving

the success of socialist economic construction.

All functionaries, holding fast to the point of view that

executing the technological revolution is vital to socialist

economic construction, should carry out all their economic activities always giving the first priority to technological development and struggle actively for the

development the nation's science and technology and for

the technological remolding of the national economy.

Constantly improving economic guidance and industrial

management is an important task in promoting successfully

socialist economic construction.
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Editorial Bureau

Economic guidance functionaries, with firm faith in our

party's economic policy, should bring the revolutionary

spirit into full play and thoroughly defend and implement the chuche-based principle of economic management and conduct production guidance and industrial

management in accordance with the demands of the

Taean work method.

Thoroughly to implement socialist democracy in state

activities is an important requirement for the government ofour republic in fulfilling its honorable mission as

people's government.

By democracy is meant, in essence, governing by synthesizing the will ofthe masses of working people, and it is

a basic way ofstate activity in their service.

Our socialist democracy means government by the

people whereby the masses of people hold their position

äs masters and fulfill their röle as such, and satisfactorily

satisfies the independent stand arid attitude of the individual and the collective by linking them to each other.

In our country, all of the people exercise equal and

independent rights as masters of the state and society

and are bringing their creative wisdom and talents into

bloom by helping and leading one another as comrades,

in accordance with the principle "one for all, all for one."

Socialist democracy äs being practiced in our country

today is the most remarkable form of democracy that

guarantees genuine freedom and rights to all the masses

ofworking people in every aspect ofthe state and society

and in a comprehensive and substantive manner.

Socialist democracy is guaranteed by the socialist

system. We should consolidate the socialist system still

more and ceaselessly develop it so that we may give freer

play to the independent stand and attitude ofthe masses

and their creativeness in every field, including political,

economic, and cultural fields.

How to thoroughly implement the revolutionary mass

line while firmly securing party leadership is a fundamental problem in fully realizing socialist democracy

and bringing the superiority of the socialist system into

full play.

Only by enhancing the leadership role of the party and

implementing the mass line will it be possible to satisfy

the basic demands of the masses and protect their

interests in a consistent manner in accordance with the

right strategy arid tactics and successfully push forward

the revolution and construction by eliminating bureaucratism and subjectivism and mobilizing the creativity

ofthe masses to the fullest possible extent. Insuring party

leadership and implementing the revolutionary mass

line is a basic principle to which we should hold fast in

socialist, communist construction.

People's government organizations at all levels should

uphold party leadership and conduct every activity in

accordance with party lines and policies and constantly

improve their work system and method by implementing

the revolutionary mass line.

The great Chongsan-ri spirit, the Chongsan-ri method,

created by our party, is the most revolutionary and

democratic work method and principle of mass mobilization which properly combine party leadership and the

revolutionary mass line. When the Chongsan-ri spirit,

the Chongsan-ri method, is thoroughly implemented, it

is possible to bring the superiority of socialism in our

country into full play by controlling and managing our

socialist society in an effective manner.

In accordance with the demands of the Chongsan-ri

spirit, the Chongsän- ri method, all functionaries should

always mingle with the asses and vigorously carry out

political work among them, band together the people

tightly around the party, and implement party lines and

policies by setting the efforts and wisdom of the masses

in motion. Functionaries should become the people's

true servants and faithful errand boys who struggle

giving their all for the sake of the people while sharing

joys and sorrows with them, with warm love for the

people and with the spirit of devoting to their service.

How to hold fastto the socialist principles is a basic problem

in giving full play to the inherent superiority of socialism

and guarding the revolutionary gains wpn with blood.

The only way to give play to the superiority ofsocialism

is to build socialism and bring it to consummation in

accordance with the principle and by the method which

are consistent with the inherent nature and character of

socialism.

Collectivism is the foundation of socialism and communism. Socialism based on collectivism means a society

which develops in accordance with a principle radically

different from capitalism which is based on individualism.

Socialism is superior to capitalism beyond comparison.

To begin with, a specific social system should be managed and operated by principles and methods consistent

with its inherent needs. Therefore, socialism should

necessarily be controlled and managed in accordance

with the socialist principles and methods. This notwithstanding, if, confronted with an obstacle in the process of

building socialism, we were to abandon the socialist

principle and try to solve the problem by a capitalist

method, we would not only be unable to overcome the

difficulty but also end up nullifying the inherent superiority of socialism and throwing it into a state of confusion and even losing the revolutionary gains which we

have won with our blood. Abandoning the socialist

principles and bringing in the capitalist principles is, in

essence, tantamount to betrayal of socialism and capitulation to capitalism. We can not abandon nor surrender

the socialist principles.

Socialism based on collectivism can be built and its

superiority can be given full play only by adhering to the

socialist principles and methods. All problems arising in

socialist construction should be solved only by the principle of giving play to the superiority ofsocialism on the

basis of the socialist principles, only by the method of

setting in motion the inexhaustible creativeness of the

masses, the masters of the revolution. When the situation becomes more complex and the reactionaries intensify their offensive, the communists and revolutionary

people should hold fast to the revolutionary principles

and move forward under the banner of socialism raised

still higher. Holding fast to the socialist principles and

methods—therein lie the true path to giving full play to

the inherent superiority of socialism and a decisive

guarantee for achieving victory for the cause of

socialism.

The great leader's historic policy speech is the militant

banner for giving full play to the superiority ofsocialism

in our country and successfully building socialism in

accordance with the demands of chuche and developing

the chuche revolutionary cause onto a new, higher stage,

and it is a powerful theoretical and practical weapon to

which our people hold fast in their struggle to hasten the

attainment of the complete victory ofsocialism and the

fulfillment of the cause of national reunification.

We will study and comprehend in depth the great leader

Comrade Kim II- song's classic work "Let Us Bring the

Superiority of Socialism in Our Country Into Full Play,"

thoroughly implement the tasks outlined in it, and thereby

hasten the fulfillment of the chuche revolutionary cause by

giving full play to the superiority of socialism.

[Article by Pak Song-pom]

[Text] Today, a new generation of youths are growing

stoutly in our country under the leadership of the party

and the leader as the reliable next generation of the

revolution to carry on the chuche revolutionary cause

from generation to generation.

For our party and people it is a source of great pride and

immense self-esteem to have an invincible contingent of

youths who will carry on the chuche revolutionary cause

from generation to generation, rallied tightly around the

party and the leader.

The fact that our youths are being prepared fully as the

reliable next generation to bear the future ofthe chuche

revolutionary cause on their shoulders represents the

brilliant fruition ofthe leadership ofour party, which has

shown the most accurate direction and method for

solving the youth problem and has provided sagacious

guidance with a view to carrying out vigorous politicoideological work among youths. Upholding the party's

noble determination to carry on from generation to

generation the revolutionary chuche cause pioneered in

the Paektu forests through to the end, we must carry out

politico-ideological work all the more vigorously among

our youths in order to prepare them solidly as the young

vanguard of our party, as the reliable next successors of

the revolutionary chuche cause.

Preparing youths who are airtight in politico-ideological

terms is an important task to staunchly carry on the

lineage of the revolution from generation to generation.

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

Party of Korea] Central Committee and secretary of the

party Central Committee, pointed out as follows:

"Youths are the ones to inherit the revolution. How to

bring up the youth is an important question involving

the future of the revolution and the fate of the nation."

The youth are a powerful force which represents the

future of society and the revolution. Apart from the

youth, there can be no prosperity in the nation, nor the

progress of society, nor the succession and ultimate

consummation of the revolution.

Revolution posits historical succession. There can be no

progress and ultimate consummation of revolution

without succession. For this reason, the question of the

successor inevitably arises in revolutionary struggle.

The successors ofthe revolutionary cause are none other

than the youth. That the youth are the next successors of

the revolutionary cause is because they are the growing

generation, the generation which is moving forward. It is

characteristic ofthe new generation that it represents the

future and has an ability to develop ceaselessly.

The youth represent the future as the new generation and

possess an inexhaustible ability to develop ceaselessly.

However, this is not to say that they will automatically

become the next generation ofthe revolution. The youth

can be brought up as the reliable next generation of the

revolution only when they are subject to constant political indoctrination by the working-class party. If the

working-class party regards work with youths as secondary and neglects politico-ideological work among

them, they will be tainted with the bourgeois ideology

and seek an indolent, idle life, and eventually even end

up challenging the revolution, a serious consequence.

The work of preparing youths in politico-ideological terms

emerges as a particularly important issue under the present

circumstances where the revolutionary cause has come a

long way and the generation which has never experienced

the rigorous ordeals ofthe revolution is making its debut as

heroes and heroines of the revolution.

It follows that only when the working-class party unfailingly puts main efforts into the work ofpreparing youths

fully in politico-ideological terms to suit the characteristics and the demands of the developing revolution, is it

possible to bring them up excellently as the reliable next

generation Of the revolution and to carry on the revolutionary cause from generation to generation through to

the end consummation.

Stepping up political work among youths makes it possible, above all, to bring them up as the true next

generation of the revolution with a firmly established

revolutionary world view .

The primary requirement in bringing up youths as the

reliable next generation ofthe revolution is to arm them

airtightly with the revolutionary world view. All the

thoughts and practical activities of individuals are

shaped by the kinds ofworld outlook they have. Accordingly, only when youths are armed airtightly with the

revolutionary world view can they devote themselves to

the revolutionary struggle and become the true successors who will carry on the revolution staunchly from

generation to generation.

Adolescence is very important in cultivating the revolutionary world outlook in man. Adolescence is a period in

which youths attain full physical maturity and undergo an

unusually great change in their mental aspect also. For this

reason, what kind of ideological indoctrination they receive

and what kind of world view they have is an important
Political and Ideological

JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991

question bearing upon their future. When people are armed

thoroughly with the revolutionary world outlook in their

adolescence, they will be able to become truly the next

successors of the revolutionary cause. On the contrary, if

they fail to acquire a correct world view in their adolescence,

they could fall to the ground as renegades in betrayal of the

revolution. If we are to arm people airtightly with the

revolutionary view in their adolescence, an important

period, we must step up politico-ideological work among the

youth. Only by conducting active politico-ideological work

among the youth is it possible to arm them airtightly with the

revolutionary thought ofthe leader ofthe working class, and

on this basis, nurture in them a correct perception of nature

and society, hatred for the exploiting class, and resolution

and determination to fight against that class to the end. This

tells us that stepping up politico-ideological work among

youths is an important task to bring them up as the reliable

next generation of the revolution who are armed airtightly

with the revolutionary world view of the working class.

Stepping up politico-ideological work among youths

makes it possible to unite them around the leader with

one and the same mind, thereby turning them into the

next reliable generation of the revolution.

Uniting youths tightly around the party and the leader is a

basic requirement in bringing them up as true successors of

the leader's cause, the cause of the party. To say that the

youth are the next generation ofthe revolution who will bear

the future ofthe nation on their shoulders, is not necessarily

to say that the revolutionary cause is carried on by youths as

individuals. True, youths are endowed with inexhaustible

creativity. However, if they fail to band together around a

center, their strength would turn out to be disoriented

physical power. Only by uniting tightly around the leader

and his heir in ideological and moral terms under party

leadership will youths be able to become true successors who

will carry on the revolutionary cause from generation to

generation until consummation.

An important problem which arises in banding youths

around the leader and his heir as a single organism, and

bringing them up as the next generation ofthe revolution

who will carry on the revolutionary cause pioneered by

the leader through to consummation, is how to vigorously conduct politico-ideological work among them.

Only by stepping up politico-ideological work among

youths will they be able to comprehend and uphold as a

firm revolutionary creed the greatness of the thoughts

and theories of the leader and his heir, the greatness of

their leadership, and the greatness of their ideological

and moral features, unite around the party as a single

organism with the leader at the center, and prepare

themselves solidly as the next generation of the revolution who will carry on the revolutionary cause pioneered

by the leader, from generation to generation through to

consummation under party leadership.

Stepping up politico-ideological work among youths also

enables them to give full play to their revolutionary zeal

and creative positiveness and to implement the party's

lines and policies to the end, and to vigorously advance

the revolutionary cause.

The revolutionary cause pioneered by the leader is

ultimately brought to consummation through the process

of implementing party lines and policies. Therefore, the

process of implementing party lines and policies is the

process of carrying on the revolutionary cause; and only

those youths who accept and embrace party lines and

policies as being most justifiable, and who implement

them unconditionally, can become the reliable next

generation of the revolution.

Youths have an inexhaustible creative ability to implement party lines and policies. Only if we correctly

indoctrinate, organize, and mobilize our youths, will

there be nothing that we cannot accomplish. In order for

us to correctly organize and mobilize this inexhaustible

creative ability of our youths, we need to step up

politico-ideological work among them and arm them

airtightly with the legitimacy of the party's lines and

policies. When youths are armed with the justness ofthe

party's lines and policies, they will be able to give full

play to their youthful vigor to the fullest, and to produce

heroic exploits in the implementation of party policy.

All this clearly indicates that preparing youths fully in

political and ideological terms is an important task to

bring them up as the reliable successors who will firmly

inherit the lineage of the revolution.

In the past our party raised as an important question in

firmly maintaining the lineage of the revolution how to

prepare the new generation, that is, our youths, airtight

in political and ideological terms. They provided sagacious leadership in solving this question, thereby brilliantly resolving the question ofsuccession to the chuche

revolutionary cause.

Early on, when he embarked on the journey of revolution,

the great leader Comrade Kim Il-song regarded youths as

the most active and vivacious force ofsocial revolution, and

began his revolutionary activity by indoctrinating patriotic

youths from all walks oflife and banding them together, and

led the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle to victory by

organizing and mobilizing them.

After liberation, in accomplishing the difficult and complex revolutionary tasks in various stages, the respected

and beloved leader Comrade Kim Il-song directed his

primary attention to bonding youths together into a

single political organization and giving them inspiration

through indoctrination. "

In the early stage ofnation building, our youths followed

the party and actively launched into building a new

democratic Korea without wavering, underthe sagacious

leadership ofthe respected and beloved leader Comrade

Kim Il-song, even under such a complex and chaotic
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Political and Ideological

situation; and day in day out during the war, they fought

in the van of the assault giving their priceless youth for

their dearest fatherland, and won the war. In the period

of great chollima upsurge, too, our youths developed

collieries, erected power stations, and built railways and

dwelling houses in the ruins. In this process, our youths

demonstrated the heroic mettle of the Korean youth

united tightly around the party and the leader.

In our country, the problem ofbringing up youths stoutly

in political and ideological terms and preparing them as

reliable next successors of the revolutionary cause has

been solved all the more brilliantly through the process

of converting the whole society to the chuche ideology

under the leadership ofthe dear Comrade Kim Chong-il.

Our party defined it as a general duty of the League of

Socialist Working Youths (LSWY) to convert youths to the

chuche ideology to suit the demands ofthe revolution at its

high stage of development, advocated it as a basic mission

forthe youth movementto carry on the chuche revolutionary

cause from generation to generation, and on this basis,

provided sagacious leadership so that politico-ideological

work might be conducted in all LSWY organizations and

among youths in an innovative way.

In view ofthe possibility that even the generation which

was born and has grown under the socialist system will,

unless they are constantly indoctrinated in the revolutionary way, get tainted with the bourgeois ideology, and

cause serious consequences to the revolution and construction, our party established an orderly youth indoctrination system and has provided energetic guidance so

that youth indoctrination work, including indoctrination

in the principle ofthe chuche ideology, indoctrination in

loyalty to the party and the leader, indoctrination in the

revolutionary cause, indoctrination in class character,

and indoctrination in socialist patriotism, might be

conducted vigorously.

For the purpose of remodeling the contingent of youths

after the chuche ideology and bringing up all youths as

reliable next successors of the chuche revolutionary

cause, our party saw to it that politico-ideological work

was vigorously conducted, particularly in conjunction

with the practical struggle for socialist construction. Our

party saw to it that youths took the lead in the struggle to

expand and develop various mass movements, such as

the youth brigade movement and the youth mass innovation movement, as well as in the struggle to implement

the party's policy on the speed battle, and through this

process, also saw to it that youths cultivated loyalty to

the party and the leader and the spirit offervent love for

the socialist fatherland and steeled their ideological will.

With politico-ideological work vigorously conducted under

the dear Comrade Kim Chong-il to suit the requirements of

the cause of converting the whole society to the chuche

ideology, the chuche ideological system has been firmly

established within youth organizations, with all youths

being prepared solidly äs the next generation of the revolution who will bring the revolutionary cause to consummation, steadfastly trusting and following none but the party

and the leader wherever and whenever.

Today, although the times and circumstances have

changed and the revolution has come a long way, our

youths are united around our party with one and the

same mind and are burning with a resolute determination to fight shoulder to shoulder with the party giving

their all to the fulfillment of the chuche revolutionary

cause, just as early on when the Korean revolution made

a beginning, the young communists rallied tightly

around the respected and beloved commander and

blazed the course of the revolutionary cause.

This ideological and moral ethos of our youths manifests

itself in the fact that they are bursting into bloom as the

flower oflife in the worthy struggle to infinitely prize and

glorify our socialist system, and in the course of their

dedication to the well-being of society, the collective,

and their revolutionary comrades, on the basis of their

collectivist view of revolution.

Upholding the revolutionary slogan "whatever the party

decides, we will execute it," our youths are currently

giving full play to their loyalty to the party and the leader

and their fervent love ofthe socialist fatherland at every

moment of struggle to implement the party's lines and

policies. Our youths have erected numerous monumental structures;—such as West Sea Lock-Gate, the

northern railways, the 1 May Stadium, and Kwangbok

Street—which demonstrate the imposing face of the

chuche Korea of the 1980's, and have held the 13th

World Festival of Youth and Students in Pyongyang,

capital of the revolution, in a grand way. All these feats

clearly attest to the loftiness ofthe ideological and moral

ethos of our youths.

The noble ethos of our youths also manifests itself in the

high-mindedness of those who made homes with discharged disabled veterans—wounded in action while

rendering meritorious services at the sacred defense post

ofthe fatherland—and who enjoy the flower of life with

them: It manifests itself as well in the valor ofthose who

did not hesitate to give their lives for the sake of their

revolutionary comrades and the collective. Hero Kim

Kwang-chol some time ago saved his dear revolutionary

comrades by covering with his youthful chest a live

grenade which was about to explode. He died a heroic

death, and his heroism is indicative ofthe kind of world

view with which our new generation of youth are

growing up as reliable successors of the chuche cause in

the bosom of the party.

We have the invincible contingent ofthe future next generation of the revolution who will bear the chuche cause on

their shoulders with intense faith-like loyalty to the party

and the leader, with fervent love for the most remarkable

socialist system in our country, and with noble revolutionary comradely love and integrity; and this makes the
10 Political and Ideological

JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991

future of our revolution infinitely brighter and the future of

our fatherland and people more brilliant and splendid.

Indeed, the fact that our youths are growing stoutly as

reliable successors of the chuche cause represents an

immortal exploit produced by our party before the new

era and the revolution and a brilliant fruit born of our

party's leadership in solving the youth problem.

We should hold fast to the achievements made by the

party in solving the youth problem, and conduct politico-ideological work all the more vigorously among

youths in order to bring them up more sturdily as

successors of the chuche cause.

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 as follows:

"In order to bring up youths stoutly as the next generation of the revolution, we should above all step up

ideological indoctrination work among them."

The LSWY is an organization composed of the young

vanguard. Hence, LSWY organizations and youths must

be permeated with nothing else but the one thought of

bringing the chuche cause to fulfillment by following the

leadership of the party. In the future, as in the past, we

should put great efforts into politico-ideological indoctrination work among youths to bond them tightly

around the party and the leader and bring them up more

stoutly as the next generation ofthe revolution who will

share the same fate with the party forever in the face of

any hardship and ordeal.

In bringing up youths as the reliable next generation of

the revolution, it is important to continually step up all

forms of politico-ideological work among them, beginning with indoctrination in loyalty to the party and the

leader, in close conjunction with indoctrination on the

principles of chuche ideology.

Arming youths airtightly with the unitary party ideology is

the important problem in bringing them up as successors of

the chuche revolutionary cause.

The great chuche ideology is the most correct guiding

thought of revolution and construction and the only

revolutionary world view that our youths should possess.

Only when youths are armed airtightly with the chuche

ideology is it possible for them to cherish it as their firm

creed, to think and act in accordance with the demands

of the chuche ideology wherever and whenever, and to

carry on the chuche revolutionary cause from generation

to generation to ultimate consummation. By conducting

indoctrination on the chuche ideology among youth in

depth in terms of principle, we should bring them up

stoutly as reliable successors who will advance the

chuche revolutionary cause in accordance with the

demands of the chuche ideology, embracing the chuche

ideology as their indeflectible creed.

Indoctrination in revolutionary traditions is an important aspect of ideological indoctrination work designed

to bring up youths as chuche-oriented revolutionaries

who like the anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters, will

give their all to the fight for the consummation of the

chuche revolutionary cause, with a thoroughgoing revolutionary view of the leader. When our youths, like the

anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters, trust and follow

none but the respected and beloved leader and our party,

and when they live and fight, with firm faith in victory

and with the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and

fortitude, it will be possible to bring the chuche revolutionary cause to ultimate attainment by overcoming any

obstacle. We must conduct indoctrination in revolutionary traditions among youth in depth by using living

facts and materials, such as literature on revolutionary

slogans, alongside of indoctrination through "research

rooms for the study of Comrade Kim Chong-il's revolutionary thought." By so doing, we will make all youths

learn the infinite loyalty to the leader, the faith in victory

in the revolution, arid the revolutionary spirit of selfreliance and fortitude cherished by the anti-Japanese

revolutionary fighters, and they will thoroughly put all

these traits into revolutionary practice.

Given the present condition in which the exploiting class

remains intact on earth and a fierce class struggle is in

progress between the working class and the exploiting

class, between socialism and capitalism, stepping up

indoctrination in the revolutionary cause and indoctrination in class character among youths emerges as a

matter of singular importance.

Today, the imperialists are stepping up antisocialist

machinations all the more nakedly in the political,

economic, cultural, and military fields. The U.S. imperialists in particular are watching for an opportunity to

stamp out the socialist system in our country in league

with the South Korean puppet clique. Under this condition, if we fail to properly conduct indoctrination in the

revolution and indoctrination in class character among

our youths who have grown up under our tender care,

with no knowledge of a class struggle, it is possible that

they will get tainted with the bourgeois ideology and fail

to launch into a revolutionary struggle, bewitched by the

siren call of indolence.

By vigorously conducting indoctrination in the revolutionary cause and indoctrination in class character

among youths with a tight grip on these aspects of

indoctrination, we should make our youths cultivate the

working-class viewpoint and see, judge, and handle all

matters from the working-class point of view under any

complex circumstances. At the same time, we should

have our youths understand the exploitative nature of

landlords and capitalists and the reactionary and corrupt

nature of imperialism in terms of principle, so that they

may fight staunchly against the system of exploitation

and the exploiting class.

We must give our youths a clear understanding of the

superiority ofsocialism in our country and inspire them
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Political and Ideological 11

to continually consolidate and develop our benevolent

socialism which has fed, clothed, and educated them

until they became a pillar ofthe state, and we must see to

it that they care for and love their hometowns and

villages in which they grew up, as well as their workplaces Inasmuch as patriotism manifests itself in the

concrete feelings of individuals, it is effective in the

indoctrination of youths to write many songs about their

hometowns and the country, as well as revolutionary

songs, and to have them sing these songs.

Arming youths with the our-nation-comes-first spirit is

an important problem in bringing them up as the next

generation ofthe revolution who will vigorously advance

the revolutionary cause with an intense sense of national

pride and self-esteem. We should have our youths gain

the profound understanding thatthe Korean people are a

resourceful people who have a long history, culture, and

revolutionary tradition—a nation which is currently

engaged in a vigorous struggle under the leadership ofthe

great leader and the great party, holding high the banner

of the great chuche ideology, in order to materialize the

independent stand and attitude of the masses. In doing

so, we will inspire our youths to give further brilliance to

the dignity and honors of our nation with an intense

sense of national pride and self-esteem.

It is important that ideological indoctrination work

among youths be conducted in conformity with their

characteristics and the degree of their preparedness.

Characteristically, youths are full of desire and curiosity

to try their hands on everything, are fond of merriment

and gaiety, have a strong enterprising spirit, and are

sensitive to new things. Indoctrination work for youths

must be conducted in conformity with these characteristics. We should conduct lecture meetings and paperreading sessions in close conjunction with the revolutionary tasks by correctly choosing the subjects of

discussion and extensively organizing indoctrination

work through publications and art works as well as

indoctrination work to influence youths by positive

example, by using diverse forms and methods.

Conducting indoctrination work for youths to suit the

characteristics of each group is an important method for

insuring the effectiveness of indoctrination work.

We should conduct ideological indoctrination particularly for college students in conformity with their characteristics. College students are the potential national

cadres who will bear the future ofour revolution on their

shoulders. Therefore, stepping up ideological indoctrination work among college students arises as an important

problem bearing on the future of the revolution and the

rise or fair of our nation.

What is important in indoctrination work for young

intellectuals including college students is to give them a

proper understanding of the history of our party's

struggle, particularly the justness of our party's policy for

intellectuals. We should make our youths understand

well what the hammer, sickle, and brush engraved in the

party insignia stand for, as well as the historical process

whereby our party has provided sagacious leadership so

that authorities concerned might conduct work with our

intellectuals well, regarding them as a driving force of

socialist construction.

Conducting ideological indoctrination work for youths in

conjunction with revolutionary practice is an important

means of bringing them up as the next generation of the

revolution steeled in the revolutionary way. We should make

youths actively move into difficult and arduous realms Of

socialist construction so that they may be ceaselessly steeled

on the anvil of revolutionary struggle.

An important problem arising in bringing up youths as

the reliable next generation of the revolution is inculcating in party functionaries a keen interest in indoctrination work for youths. If we were to leave work with

youths to LSWY organizations alone, it would be impossible to conduct this work properly. All party organizations and functionaries should always direct attention to

indoctrination work for youths and conduct work with

them in a planned and active manner.

We must vigorously conduct politico-ideological work

among youths and bring them up stoutly as the next

generation of the revolution infinitely loyal to the party

and the leader, in order to carry the chuche revolutionary

cause through to ultimate fulfillment.

[Text] Cherishing deep in their hearts the immense pride

they took in reverentially reelecting the great leader

Comrade Kim Il-song as DPRK president at the first

session of the Ninth Supreme People's Assembly, our

people are currently all the more vigorously waging the

movement to create the new "speed of the 1990's," in

order to brilliantly fulfill the militant tasks outlined in

the respected and beloved leader's historic policy speech.

The reality of the seething struggle to create the new

"speed of the 1990's" requires that party organizations

and functionaries in all sectors and units provide proper

party guidance in administrative economic work. Only

when party organizations and functionaries provide

excellent party guidance in administrative economic

work, is it possible to step up the movement to create the

new "speed ofthe 1990's" all the more energetically, and

to effect continual leaps and innovations in all areas of

socialist construction.

An important problem facing party functionaries in providing proper party guidance in administrative economic

work is thoroughly doing away with the phenomenon of

taking over administrative work, and vigorously bolstering

administrative economic work by the party method.

Taking over administrative work is one of the taboos

against which the party should stand guard in conducting

administrative economic work.

By taking over administrative work is meant that party

functionaries push aside functionaries of administrative

economic agencies and take over their work.

Taking over administrative work is not in keeping with

party work. It is diametrically contradictory to the

principle of party guidance in administrative economic

work. If the party were to take over administrative

economic work, there would be no need to set up

administrative economic agencies. Moreover, it is

impossible for the party to perform difficult and

immense administrative economic work singlehandedly.

Therefore, the party should be on guard against the

tendency to take over administrative work in providing

guidance in administrative economic work.

Party guidance in administrative economic work should

be conducted by party method.

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

Party of Korea] Central Committee and secretary of the

party Central Committee, pointed out as follows:

"Party organizations should provide guidance in economic work by party method through and through. In

other words, party organizations and functionaries

should not take over administrative economic work but

vigorously carry out organizational political work to

actively underpin administrative economic work."

Conducting administrative economic work by the party

method means setting party organizations in motion to

ensure in political terms that administrative economic

tasks at hand are successfully carried out in the direction

as demanded by party policy. In other words, it means

thatthe party gives guidance in administrative economic

work by means of setting the right direction for administrative economic functionaries so that they may perform theirjobs properly in accordance with party policy;

by means of framing organizational political work in

such a way that all party members and workers may

devote themselves to the execution of the revolutionary

tasks; and by means of grasping control so that administrative economic work may proceed accurately as

demanded by the party policy.

The party method is the basic means ofparty guidance in

administrative economic work that fits with the intrinsic

characteristics of the working-class party.

The working-class party is neither a power organ nor an

administrative economic agency, but a political leadership

organization. By a political leadership organization is meant

an organization which thrashes out and sets forth policy, as

well as exercises a grasp-and-control function over, and

provides guidance in, its implementation.

The working-class party is the highest form of political

organization among government organs, workers' organizations, and all other revolutionary organizations of

the masses of working people, including the working

class; and it is the general staff of the revolution which

formulates and presents lines and policies embodying

the thought of the leader and organizes, and mobilizes

revolutionary organizations and revolutionary forces in

the implementation of these lines and policies.

Inasmuch as the party is a political leadership organization, it should give guidance in administrative economic

work, not by means of taking over administrative economic work, but by means of providing a direction to

administrative economic agencies for their work, by

means of conducting animated political work to vigorously galvanize the masses into the execution of the

revolutionary tasks, and by means of exercising its

grasp-and-control function so that party policy may be

implemented properly.

For this reason, our party has always emphasized that party

functionaries should do away with the phenomenon of

taking over administrative work and push administrative

economic work from behind as the party method.
14 Party Buildup

JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991

When party functionaries bolster administrative economic

work by party method, they can cause both party work and

administrative economic work to be performed smoothly.

The primary task ofparty functionaries is party work. Along

with party work, party functionaries should take full responsibility for administrative economic work also. Therefore,

party functionaries, while properly executing party work,

their primary task, should also provide guidance in administrative economic work from the view point that they are

fully responsible for administrative economic work also.

In order for party functionaries to make party work and

administrative economic work proceed well at the same

time, they must thoroughly do away with the phenomenon of taking over administrative work and give guidance in administrative economic work by none other

than the party method.

If party functionaries, instead of pushing administrative

economic work by the party method, should take it over

from administrative agencies, they would naturally end

up getting embroiled in administrative economic job

performance, and become unable to properly conduct

party work, work with the people. In addition, even

when administrative economic work does not proceed in

the direction as demanded by party policy, they would be

unable to accurately perceive the deviation and none of

them would set it right. This is a case oftoo many chiefs,

not enough Indians—the boat goes astray from the

prescribed course and fails to reach the destination

because there are too many captains and not enough

hands to row the boat.

If party functionaries take over administrative work, it

would weaken the sense of responsibility on the part of

administrative economic functionaries, rendering it

impossible for them to give play to their positive initiatives in their work and perform their jobs energetically

from a standpoint as befitting the master.

Ifparty functionaries take over administrative economic

work, neither party work nor administrative economic

work would be conducted properly.

Party functionaries should be fully responsible for providing guidance in administrative economic work. However, this does not mean that they should put administrative economic functionaries aside and take over

everything from them, lock, stock, and barrel. To say

that party functionaries give guidance in administrative

economic work in a responsible manner is to say that

they push it vigorously from behind by the party method.

Only when party functionaries vigorously push administrative economic work by the party method, is it possible

for them to take a firm grip on the main line in party

work and thoroughly implement party policy and convert party work solidly into work with people. At the

same time, they will be able to enhance the independent

attitude of administrative economic functionaries and

make them organize and execute administrative economic work in a responsible and creative manner. Inasmuch as the masters of administrative economic work

are none other than administrative economic functionaries, administrative economic work will be performed

well only when party functionaries assist administrative

economic functionaries by the party method so that they

may fulfill their responsibility and role as masters.

In addition, when party functionaries push administrative economic work from behind by the party method, it

is possible to carry out party work and administrative

economic work well simultaneously.

For party functionaries to push administrative economic

work from behind by the party method, arises as an urgent

task in vigorously bringing about a greater revolutionary

upswing in current socialist construction.

Currently, in every sector and unit engaging in revolution and construction, a vigorous struggle is going on to

bring about another revolutionary upswing in socialist

construction through maximum increased production

and conservation, by upholding the New Year's message

of the great leader this year, the decisions of the 17th

Plenum of the Sixth Party Central Committee, and

particularly the leader's policy speech.

How to vigorously push administrative economic work by

party work is one of the important problems facing party

functionaries in brilliantly translating into practice the

intention ofthe party and the leader to bring about another

revolutionary upswing in socialist construction through the

struggle for increased production and conservation.

Pushing administrative economic work by party work is

a sure guarantee for bringing about continual upsurges in

socialist construction.

To bring about continual upsurges in socialist construction, party work should underpin administrative economic work and help administrative economic functionaries carry out administrative economic organizational

work properly with a keen sense ofresponsibility, and at

the same time, give full play to the revolutionary ardor

and creative positiveness ofthe masses. This task can be

successfully accomplished only when party functionaries

vigorously push administrative economic work by the

party method.

When party functionaries push administrative economic

work vigorously by the party method, their operation

becomes a genuine party work of powerfully thrusting

administrative economic work forward. This is an

important requirement for bringing about continual

upsurges in socialist construction.

Pushing administrative economic work vigorously by the

party method also makes it possible to accelerate socialist

construction at an unusually fast pace by giving as much

prominence as possible to administrative economic functionaries so that they may creditably accomplish their

assigned tasks.
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Party Buildup 15

Pushing administrative economic work by the party method

makes it possible in particular to bring about a great leap in

socialist construction by giving full play to the revolutionary

zeal and creative positiveness ofthe masses.

People's ideology is a basic factor in the acceleration of

the revolutionary struggle and construction. Only by

setting people's ideology in motion is it possible to

triumphantly advance the revolution and construction.

For party functionaries to vigorously conduct political

ideological work among the masses by the party method,

is a decisive factor in bringing about a great leap in

socialist construction by setting people's ideology in

motion, and actively mobilizing and utilizing reserves

for increased production and conservation.

Thus, for party functionaries to push administrative

economic work by the party method is an urgent requirement in bringing about a great revolutionary upsurge and

vigorously leading the march ofthe 1990's.

All party functionaries, correctly understanding how important it is now to implement the party policy of pushing

administrative economic work by the party instead oftaking

over administrative work, should provide proper party

guidance in administrative economic work.

In order for party functionaries to push administrative work

by the party method instead of taking over administrative

work, it is important, first ofall, to be keenly aware thatthey

are the steerers in administrative economic work, and to

organize and operate their work accordingly.

The great leader Comrade Kim Il-song taught as follows:

"As I always say, party functionaries should play the role

of a steerer in performing economic tasks. Party functionaries should hold the steering wheel in the back so

that economic functionaries may move in the right

direction according to the party line." ("Collection of

Writings of Kim Il-song," Vol 16, p. 157)

In providing guidance in administrative economic work,

party functionaries and administrative economic functionaries have different positions and roles.

Party functionaries—unlike administrative economic

functionaries who give guidance in administrative economic work in terms of administrative technical job

performance—give guidance in administrative economic work by the party method and in political terms.

If administrative economic functionaries are the people

who pull the oars, party functionaries are the steerers of

the boat. In giving guidance in administrative economic

work, that is the fundamental difference between the

position and role of party functionaries and those of

administrative economic functionaries.

Only when party functionaries have a correct understanding oftheir position and role, is it possible for them

to do away with taking over administrative work and

vigorously push administrative economic work by the

party method.

All party functionaries—with the correct understanding

that in their relation to administrative economic functionaries, they are the ones who steer the boat—should

perform their assigned work in a responsible manner

from that point of view.

In doing so, it is important that party functionaries

should boldly leave administrative economic work to

administrative economic functionaries and correctly

lead them to fulfill their duties Well.

Once the direction and methods for administrative economic work are discussed collectively by the party committee, party functionaries should see to it that administrative economic functionaries take charge of

administrative economic work arid execute it, and that a

favorable condition for their work is provided.

Administrative economic work is a party-assigned

administrative economic work. Therefore, naturally

administrative economic functionaries should be the

masters of administrative economic work, and should

execute it in that frame ofmind. Only by doing so will

they take the attitude of being the masters, exercise their

brains, and give play to their positive initiatives to fulfill

the revolutionary tasks assigned them.

Party functionaries should trust administrative economic

functionaries and have them solve all problems arising in

administrative economic work on their own and in a responsible manner. The former should also help the latter find

correct methods for the execution of administrative economic work, and when the latter waver or hesitate in the

face of difficult problems, the former should lead the latter

by giving them active encouragement and inspiration to

accomplish their assignment on time and accurately. Even

when something goes wrong, party functionaries should not

thrust themselves forward but help administrative economic workers correct the mistake on their own. In addition, party functionaries should give prominence to administrative economic functionaries as much as possible,

respect their suggestions, arid establish ä strict discipline for

them so that they may accurately execute the administrative

directives they receive.

In this way, party functionaries, as befitting the steerers,

give active partywide assistance to adrhinistrative economic

functionaries so that they may organize administrative

economic work airtightly and vigorously push forward the

struggle for increased production and conservation in

response to the party call, with the same revolutionary vigor

and fighting spirit that they demonstrated in the period of a

great chollima upswing.

In order for party functionaries to fulfill their assigned tasks

responsibly as befitting the steerers, they should examine

and deal with all problems from a policy-oriented political

view, always with a tight grip on party policy.

Administrative economic work is a task to implement party

policy; and the purpose ofparty functionaries in holding the

steering wheel is to see that administrative economic work is

executed as required by party policy. Hence, party functionaries should, with a tight grip on party policy, thoroughly

grasp and control administrative economic work and

responsibly carry out the work ofreviewing and rearranging

the work so that it may be executed according to the party's

policy requirements to the end. In addition, when a problem

crops up in administrative "economic work, party functionaries should not Handle ft in an administrative manner but

view, analyze, evaluate it from the policy point of view,

work out an appropriate countermeasure against anything

that runs counter to party policy, and correct it on time.

Another important thing for party functionaries in doing

away with taking over administrative work and encouraging

administrative economic work to be done by the party

method, is to thoroughly insure the success ofadministrative

economic Work through work with the people;

The basis of party work is work with the people, and

doing a good job of work with the people is a primary

task of party functionaries. Party functionaries should

actively set people in motion by doing work with the

people well, thereby insuring the success of administrative economic work. Administrative economic work can

be led to successful implementation only through work

with functionaries, party members, and workers—the

masters who are in charge ofit and who execute it.

If party functionaries should neglect work with the

people, their primary task, and interfere in administrative technicalities, they would end up taking over administrative work. When an obstacle crops up in administrative economic work, matters involving administrative

technicalities should be left to administrative economic

functionaries for solution, whereas party functionaries

should necessarily try to solve the problem by indoctrinating people and setting them in motion through work

with the people.

In order for party functionaries to do away with taking

over administrative work, and to push administrative

economic work by the party method, it is necessary to

conduct work with the people well to actively set them in

motion and thus insure the success of administrative

economic work. ; */

To this end, it is important to frame work with functionaries, party members, and workers airtightly in a substantive manner, with emphasis placed on insuring the

success of administrative economic work.

The ultimate purpose of party functionaries in performing

work with the people is to have administrative economic

work done well and to thoroughly implement party policy.

Therefore, with a view to insuring the success of administrative economic work, party functionaries should consolidate the ranks of cadres and indoctrinate them on a routine

basis so that they may frame organization economic work

airtightly in a responsible manner. In addition, party functionaries should properly guide party members in the party

life so that they may play their vanguard role in the

execution of revolutionary tasks, and should vigorously

conduct organizational political work among the masses so

that they may give full play to their revolutionary zeal and

initiative in the implementation of party policy.

, :i .-...

When in this way party functionaries organize worlc with

cadres, the party life guidance, and work with the masses in

a substantive manner while correctly linking party work to

administrative economic work, they can have administrative economic work done well and bring about continual

innovations and leaps in socialist construction.

Party functionaries should go among the masses if they

are to insure the success of administrative economic

wprk through work with the people, that is, the work of

setting people's ideology in motion.

The struggle to implement party policy is waged among

the masses. Only when party functionaries go among the

masses, is it possible to grasp the desires and demands of

the masses and the actual condition at the base level in

concrete terms, §et up a correct methodology, tightly

frame organizational political work, arid thus vigorously

organize and mobilize the masses in the implementation

of party policy.

If party functionaries are desk-bound instead of going

among the masses, they will not only stay away from the

masses and fail to properly indoctrinate them and set

them in motion, but also will become ignorant of reality

and unable to find a methodology to work out proper

measures to implement party policy. If that happens, it

will be impossible to vigorously encourage administrative economic work by setting people in motion and

giving them correct guidance to suit the demands of

party policy.

Party functionaries therefore should make it a rule and habit

to go among the masses, and routinely go down to production sites where workers and farmers are at work, in order to

carry out active political work in a substantive way by

various forms and methods, eating at the same table and

sleeping in the same room under the same roof, so that the

masses may be vigorously spurred into the struggle for

increased production and conservation.

Stamping out the phenomenon of party functionaries

taking over administrative work is one of the important

ways to vigorously push administrative economic work

by the party method.
JPRS-AKU-91-002

5 February 1991 Party Buildup 17

Taking over administrative work is a work attitude which

basically runs counter to the party method; therefore,

unless it is uprooted completely, it is impossible to thoroughly implement the party policy ofvigorously bolstering

administrative economic work by the party method.

In stamping out the phenomenon oftaking over administrative work, it is important for party functionaries to

clearly perceive its harmfulness.

Party functionaries and administrative economic functionaries are both the command personnel of the revolution.

The only difference is that they have different assignments

for the revolution. That is why party functionaries' taking

over administrative work is a case of flouting party

authority and constitutes an extreme act of arrogation.

Taking over administrative work makes it impossible to

thoroughly implement the inner party work system.

What is basic to the Taean work method is the collective

leadership of the factory party committee.

In accordance with the demands ofthe intramural party

work system, our party sees to it that the party committee collectively discusses and makes decisions on all

problems arising from administrative economic work,

that administrative economic functionaries carry out

administrative organizational economic work in accordance with these decisions, and that functionaries of

party and workers' organizations conduct organizational

political work to indoctrinate and inspire party members

and workers. The Taean work system is the most ideal

economic management system which makes it possible

to successfully push forward socialist economic construction by organically linking party political work and

administrative economic work together.

Taking over administrative work not only makes it impossible to organically link party political work and administrative economic work together but also brings about the

aftermath ofseparating the two, thereby rendering it impossible to give full play to the intrinsic superiority ofthe Taean

work system. As a result, it precludes the party committee

from satisfactorily fulfilling their militant functions and

roles in administrative economic work and thoroughly

implementing party policy.

Party functionaries should have a clear understanding of

this poisonous nature of the phenomenon of taking over

administrative work and exert active efforts to eliminate it.

To do away with that phenomenon, it is important to

wage a vigorous ideological struggle to stamp it out.

Taking over administrative work is not a simple mistake in

the work method and work style but an ideological mistake.

Taking over administrative work, like all other outdated

work methods, is founded on an outdated ideology and

viewpoint contradictory to the revolutionary mass viewpoint. Accordingly, to eliminate the phenomenon of

taking over administrative Work, We should wage a

vigorous ideological struggle.

When the phenomenon of taking over administrative

work appears among party functionaries, party organizations should lose no time in waging a struggle to

eliminate it completely.

For party functionaries in vigorously pushing administrative economic work by the party method, it is important to

improve their political administrative standard.

When this standard is low, functionaries will be unable

to correctly catch problems arising in administrative

work and show the proper direction work method. If

party functionaries lack knowledge and yet should force

their wrong ideas Upon others, it would throw administrative economic work into great chaos and disorder as

well as disorient the work. Therefore, party functionaries

should make an earnest effort to improve their political

administrative standard.

Party functionaries should arm themselves airtightly

with party policy. They should show the direction and

method for administrative economic work. Party policy

being the measuring rod determining whether or not

administrative economic work is proceeding well, party

functionaries should study and learn party policy in

depth and become fully versed in it.

Party functionaries should also be fully versed in science

and technology and have expert knowledge in their specific

fields. Because ours is an age of science and technology,

party functionaries cannot provide correct party guidance in

administrative economic work if they are ignorant of science and technology. Only when well versed in science and

technology in their specific fields of guidance, can party

functionaries have a say and play their role well as the

steerers in administrative economic work.

Today our party functionaries are living and struggling

in the 1990's, the period of a historic turn in the

development of our revolution. Weighty indeed are the

responsibility and role of party functionaries in vigorously accelerating the grand march of the hope-filled

1990's walking down the dazzling road of socialist construction illuminated by the great leader's historic New

Year's message this year and by his policy speech.

Party functionaries are the standard bearers ofthe struggle

and indoctrinators ofthe masses. They are charged with the

responsibility to provide party guidance in administrative

economic work. The success of socialist construction will

depend in large measure on how well party functionaries

will fulfill their assigned responsibility and role.AH partyfunctionaries, keenly aware of their party-assigned responsibilities and duties, should provide excellent party guidance in administrative economic work as intended by the

party, thereby fulfilling their noble mission undertaken

before our time and the revolution.
