Matter of Importance to the WPK (2)

The most important work above all things

The advantages and might of socialism lie in that it gives full play to the inexhaustible strength and wisdom of the popular masses who are the driving force of socialism. The ideological education is the work to strengthen the driving force of socialism and enhance its role by equipping the masses with the socialist ideology. Since the first day of its foundation the WPK has regarded the ideological education as the most important task and conducted it as required by the time and the revolutionary development, thus advancing forcefully along the path of socialism while repulsing all sorts of challenges.

In the grim period of the Fatherland Liberation War in the 1950s the Party held fast to the ideological campaign and managed it in a militant manner in compliance with the wartime situation to encourage the soldiers and the people to the war victory. Thus it won the historic victory in the war, giving tremendous military and political blows to the US imperialists who boasted of their being the “strongest” in the world. The President famously stated that the decisive factor affecting the victory or defeat in the war does not depend on weaponry or military equipment but the ideological and mental preparation of the people who handle the weaponry. He indicated the directions and methods of the ideological education—at different meetings including the Fifth Plenary Meeting of the WPK Central Committee—to encourage the service personnel of the Korean People’s Army and the people to wipe out the enemy.

The WPK set up Party organizations and political machinery to be charged with the task to deal with the ideological education in the People’s Army and conduct vigorous political activities at the battle sites. It sent the Party organizations and members letters of the Party Central Committee to arouse them to life-and-death battles. And it saw to it that literary works, films, dramas and art pieces that were strongly militant and appealing were created and disseminated to the front line and the rear. As a result, the KPA Navy wrought a miracle in the history of naval battle of the world by sinking the USS Baltimore with a displacement of 17 000 tons and destroyed an American light cruiser with a displacement of 12 000 tons, using no more than four torpedo boats. Many of the KPA soldiers performed heroic feats, sometimes making a breakthrough for the advance of their unit even by blocking the muzzle of the enemy’s machine gun with their own bodies. All the people contributed to the war victory by displaying unparalleled bravery and mass heroism at the front and in the rear.

After the war the WPK waged a dynamic drive of ideological education to arouse the people to turn out to make a revolutionary upsurge. As a result the war wounds healed in a short span of time, the socialist industrialization was accomplished in a matter of 14 years, and a socialist nation independent in politics, self-sufficient in the economy and self-reliant in national defence was established. In the 1990s when socialism collapsed in some countries and an all-out offensive of the allied forces of imperialism focused on the DPRK, the Party put emphasis on equipping the people with the faith in socialism and the Songun revolutionary idea in keeping with the changed situation. This resulted in working a historic miracle of safeguarding socialism and laying the springboard for the building of a prosperous socialist nation.

During the period Kim Jong Il published classic works like Giving Priority to Ideological Work Is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism, clarifying the direction and ways of the ideological work. He continued his field inspection day in and day out, implanting the inevitability of victory of the cause of socialism and the validity of the Songun revolutionary idea in the mind of the KPA soldiers and the people. In those days the KPA grew stronger as the main force of the revolution in defending the country and making a breakthrough in socialist construction, and the motive force of the revolution with the armed forces as its hard core strengthened remarkably.

Today the Party’s ideological education is entering a new heyday thanks to Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the WPK. In his speech Let Us Hasten the Final Victory Through a Revolutionary Ideological Offensive made at the Eighth Conference of WPK Ideological Workers in February 2014 and other classic works he gave comprehensive solutions to problems arising in bringing about a radical switch-over in the ideological education. On the way of energetic field inspection he has encouraged the KPA soldiers and the people to rise up to implement the instructions of the President and the Chairman and build a thriving socialist nation. From May to June 2013, for instance, the units he visited number over 60. Under his guidance the WPK’s ideological education is directed to modelling the whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism and giving the fullest play to the mental strength of the Korean people. This is turning out effective.

In 2013 a campaign of advancing at the Masikryong Speed spread across the country, erecting the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, the Munsu Water Park, the Masikryong Ski Resort and other modern edifices, ushering in a heyday of construction. Now the WPK is giving priority to the ideological work above all things to make a turn in the work, and this heralds a great victory in the building of a powerful socialist nation.
