KCNA
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The Songun revolutionary line of the Workers' Party of Korea is a scientific revolutionary line correctly reflecting the requirements of the era and the revolution, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
It goes on:
The Songun revolutionary line is the army-first line on considering military affair as the first state affair and placing the strengthening of national defence power above all other work and the revolutionary strategy and tactics on putting forward the army as the main force of the revolution and pushing ahead with the socialist cause as a whole in reliance on its hardcore role.
The line is based on a scientific analysis of the circumstances facing the Korean revolution, the essence of rapidly changing situation and strategic and tactical methodology.
The present times witness the do-or-die struggle between socialism and imperialism and between the independent forces and the dominationist forces.
It is a prerequisite for the victory of the anti-imperialist cause of independence to put military affairs ahead of all other work and cement the military power of the country in every way.
It is a lawful course that the revolutionary struggle develops with the position and role of the army being enhanced.
The WPK has strengthened the army and enhanced its role steadily during the whole period of the revolutionary struggle.
It is the Korean People's Army that defends the first life-line of our revolution.
The KPA has defended the party, the revolution, the country and the people by arms at the cost of lives in confrontation with formidable imperialist enemy.
Peace, socialism and the happy life of the people are guaranteed by arms. Any class, strata and social collective can never substitute for the position, role, revolutionary spirit and combat power of the army.
The Songun idea, the Songun revolutionary line, is an invincible treasured sword for accomplishing the cause of independence, which represents the unusual ideological and theoretical wisdom and heroic revolutionary practice of Kim Jong Il, and it is a great banner for victory of the human cause of independence.
