Songun politics of north Korea which defeats imperialism with the thoroughgoing anti-imperialist class stand

(June 10, 2005)

1. Preface

Nowadays the north Korea-US showdown gets acuter.

The confrontation between north Korea which represents the independent interests of its people and the nation and the US representing the interests of a handful of monopolistic capitalists features the main character of the north Korea-US showdown.

The Songun politics of north Korea is a mode of politics based on a clear analysis of the class character of this confrontation.

2. The reactionary nature of aggressive, plundering and malformed imperialism

Imperialism is a reactionary political, military and economic system formed in the final stage of development of capitalism.

Imperialism is of aggressive nature since it readily launches wars against other countries and nations and colonizes many countries for the sake of its monopolistic interests.

It is of plundering nature since it realizes its monopolistic interests by extorting the colonial excess profits in the colonial and semi-colonial countries and imposing the unfair trade on the undeveloped nations.

It is also of malformed nature since it pursues the development of imbalanced economic structure in which it concentrates the capital on certain fields for the maximized profits, and the decadent production and demand.

The imperialist aggressive theory on military affair believes in the omnipotence of power.

Imperialism usually resorts to power to implement its interests and needs.

The wretched human rights situation prevails in the US now.

The social inequality is as severe as 36 million to 41 million Americans are starving and those who need the gratuitous ration mount up to 21 million throughout the US.

Even the older have to arm themselves with guns to defend their lives and more than 300 cases of execution are carried out annually in the US.

It’s ridiculous for such the US to talk about human rights problem but it pressurizes north Korea and attacks China under the pretext of human rights issue.

It is none other than the US which deploys some 300,000 troops throughout the world and spends the military budget to the tune tantamount to that of the world’s countries combined.

Civilian service employees produce Tomahawk missiles, build military facilities and guard the military installations.

This reality reveals the imperialist nature which regards the military capabilities as the main resort and to what extent the US society has become militarized.

The US monopolistic capital consolidates the monopolistic structure centered on the five specific domains; military, energy, finance, ultramodern information and food works.

In conclusion, imperialism features the aggressive, plundering and malformed nature and that gets more pronounced. For that reason imperialism has no future of development.

3. Songun politics of north Korea with transparent anti-imperialist class outlook

Songun politics of north Korea has the transparent anti-imperialist class outlook.

It is, first of all, a transparent anti-imperialist conscience that it cannot coexist with the imperialists. It is the lesson north Korea learnt from the June 25 Korean War that imperialism must not exist for the independence to be realized.

Secondly, the transparent anti-imperialist class outlook of the Songun politics is a strong volition to deal with the imperialists in reliance on power.

The process to establish the Songun politics in north Korea was aimed never to kneel down to the US imperialists but to overcome them.

To this end north Korea prepared defensive and offensive posture to cope with the US nuclear attack and build up economy and defense side by side.

In the meantime the Songun politics is not aimed at strengthening the military and technical capacity only.

The might of winning the fight against imperialists who put up the material superiority lies on the strength of the Songun whole to safeguard independence and the strong military, political and diplomatic abilities based on the strength of the Songun whole.

The dialogue with imperialists is based on strength and eventually it is a war in the diplomatic field.

There is neither concession nor compromise with the imperialists and we should realize our independent demands without fail relying on the strength of Songun; this is north Korea’s stand.

Lastly, the transparent anti-imperialist class outlook is an offensive spirit to wage a do-or-die struggle with the imperialists with whom we must grapple after all.

The death-defying determination not to fear the fight with the imperialists is precisely the offensive anti-imperialist class spirit of the Songun politics.

The anti-imperialist class spirit of the Songun politics is of offensive character.

It is an offensive spirit that we cannot be an onlooker in front of the bayonets of imperialists but desperately grapple with them and the enemy dies but we triumph.

4. Conclusion

The outlook on imperialism brooks no midway.

There is only victory or surrender in the struggle against imperialism.

That the Songun politics is almighty is attributable to its thoroughgoing class principle and transforming it into reality.

The patriotic south Koreans should know the transparent anti-imperialist class spirit of the Songun politics, a treasure common to our nation, study and digest it.
