Rodong Sinmun Calls for Maintaining Revolutionary Principles

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- It is a very important issue concerning the destiny of revolution to maintain the revolutionary principles consistently. Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    It is the way of defending the basic interests of revolution and advancing revolution to victory without vacillation to maintain the revolutionary principles consistently in accomplishing the cause of independence of the popular masses, the socialist cause. On the contrary, to shrink back from the revolutionary principles means surrender and ruin. To take one step back from the revolutionary principles means to take two steps, ten steps back from them. Finally, it means to lose national dignity and the sovereignty of the country and face the miserable destiny of subordination and slavery.
    This has been proved by the situation of some countries. Those countries which were building socialism in the past deviated from the revolutionary principles with no faith in socialism when facing difficulties and ordeals. And they were afraid of the threat and blackmail by the imperialists and yielded to them.
    The same is true of the Iraqi situation.
    The state which is strong in the revolutionary principles does not go to ruin and those people who keep the revolutionary principles are not conquered. This is the truth verified by history.
    The Workers' Party of Korea has always firmly maintained the principles of independence, the working class and socialism in the revolution and construction on the basis of the basic interests of the revolution, worked out revolutionary lines and policies of Juche and carried through them consistently. The party has consistently defended the basic interests and principles of the revolution, stepping up the revolution and construction with ceaseless creation and innovation as required by the developing reality and positively countering the rapidly changing situation. The Korean party and people know neither compromise nor concession in the revolution and construction. This is the revolutionary spirit and ideological and mental characteristics of the party and people.
    As the party has maintained its revolutionary principles and line and policies, the Korean revolution could victoriously advance along the road of socialism without vacillation even under the arduous conditions.
    The world revolutionary political parties and peoples should staunchly maintain the basic interests and principles of revolution in accomplishing the cause of independence against imperialism.
