Rodong Sinmun on Great Leadership of Kim Jong Il

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il is a genius of idea and a peerlessly great politician who has glorified the DPRK as the homeland of the idea of the times by indicating the road of the independent era with his extraordinary ideological and theoretical activities and led the Korean revolution to invincible victory, dyeing the whole Party and society with one idea. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    It continues:
    The greatness of the leadership of Kim Jong Il lies in that he has provided the precious ideological and theoretical wealth for victory of the cause of independence to brightly indicate the road of the times and the revolution.
    He has exerted all his energies to glorify the Juche idea, the guiding idea of the Workers' Party of Korea, as the immortal guiding idea of the independent era during the period of his revolutionary activities.
    Especially, he formulated the revolutionary idea of President Kim Il Sung as an integral system of the idea, theory and method of Juche and continuously deepened it in revolutionary practices. His exploit shines as an exploit of world history which is of great significance in accomplishing the popular masses' cause of independence, cause of socialism.
    He developed and completed the socialist idea of Juche and instilled the precious ideological and spiritual pabulum into the mind of the people when some countries which were building socialism were at a loss for their ideological degeneration and stagnation in the last century.
    Now the Korean revolution has entered a new historical era.
    The task of the times to defend the country and the nation and build a great prosperous powerful nation despite the persistent challenges of the imperialists has been brilliantly carried out as Kim Jong Il set forth the Songun idea.
    The greatness of Kim Jong Il's leadership lies in that he has held fast to ideology and put the ideological work above other work in all fields of the revolution and the construction.
    He set forth the ideological theory of Juche that the idea decides on everything and comprehensively clarified the justness of the revolutionary principle of placing the ideological work above all other work.
    He has also energetically led people to carry out with the might of ideology the tasks arising in all fields of the revolution and the construction.
    His leadership, which has turned the misfortune into blessings and adversity into a favorable condition by giving priority to the ideological work, serves as a basic guarantee for the Korean revolution to emerge victorious even under the complicated situation in which socialism collapsed in several countries.
