Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Marked

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the 12th anniversary of the publication of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party". The work published on January 3, Juche 81 (1992) is a monumental document which indicated the way to firmly defend the cause of socialism and accomplish the popular masses' cause of independence.
    Kim Jong Il in the work made a wise analysis of the cause of the collapse of socialism in some countries and illumined the most correct way for socialism to make a long drive.
    The sagacity of Kim Jong Il in leading the cause of socialism to a brilliant victory lies in that he set forth the Songun idea to clearly show the road ahead of socialism in the new century and fortify the internal force of the Korean revolution, the article says, and continues:
    His sagacity also lies in resolutely defending the main principle of socialism.
    The key point in building the internal force of the revolution is to prepare well the main force. Basing himself on a scientific analysis of the position and role of the Korean People's Army in the Songun era, Kim Jong Il put forward the KPA as the main force of the revolution.
    It is the revelation of the steadfast revolutionary principle maintained by Kim Jong Il that the army and people of Korea have won victory after victory in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. confrontation even in the difficult days of the grim "Arduous March" and forced march.
    Our army and people will advance unswervingly along the road of Juche, the road of people-centered socialism pioneered by President Kim Il Sung and led by Kim Jong Il to victory, with the conviction and optimism that the ultimate victory is ours though our path is thorny.
