Pyongyang, October 16 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung organized the Down-With-Imperialism Union (DIU) in Huadian, China on October 17, Juche 15 (1926), which marked the new starting point, origin of the Korean revolution. The main trends of the revolutionary movements in Korea at that time were the socialist revolution according to the established theories and bourgeois nationalist movement.
The "socialist revolutionaries" infected with flunkeyism and dogmatism tried to apply the preceding theories to the revolutionary struggle without putting the actual conditions of Korea into consideration. Engrossed in expanding their factional forces, they drove out people to reckless struggles, inviting only worthless sacrifice.
Nationalists did not indicate the true way for the national liberation struggle, only talking about "development" of education and industry, "self-cultivation" and "class cooperation" and "national autonomy" under the veil of "national reformation" and "cultivation of ability".
President Kim Il Sung, basing himself on the deep-going analysis of the preceding theories of the working class and actual conditions of the then revolutionary movement, formed the DIU with anti-imperialism, independence and sovereignty and socialist idea as its programme, thus initiating the Korean revolution which would advance forward under the banner of independence.
The formation of the DIU made the Korean revolution bid farewell to all sorts of worn-out tendencies including flunkeyism and dogmatism and forge ahead with correct target, strategy and tactics on the principle of independence.
The Workers' Party of Korea and Songun revolutionary cause have their origin in the DIU.
