   Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday dedicates a signed article to the 16th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's famous work "The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party".
    In the work published on Jan. 3, Juche 81 (1992), Kim Jong Il made a lucid analysis of the cause of the collapse of socialism in some countries and a lesson drawn from it and convincingly proved the validity and vitality of the line of building socialism maintained by the Workers' Party of Korea.
    The past 16 years were the proud years in which the absolute truth and scientific accuracy of the idea and theory clarified by Kim Jong Il in the work were fully proved and the advantages and invincible might of Korean-style socialism advancing under the banner of Songun were demonstrated to the whole world, the article notes, and goes on:
    Under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il the army and people of the DPRK have achieved a shining victory in the fierce confrontation with the imperialists and reliably defended Korean-style socialism and ushered in the new era of building a great, prosperous and powerful country. It is the unshakable faith enshrined by the servicepersons and people of the DPRK through a rigorous struggle that Korean-style socialism is sure to always triumph and prosper as long as it is led by Kim Jong Il and there are the most correct line and policy for socialist construction.
    The greatness of Kim Jong Il's guidance leading the cause of Korean-style socialism to victory finds its manifestation in that he has steadily developed in depth the Juche-oriented theory on socialism through energetic ideological and theoretical activities and increased the political and military might of socialism in every way, pursuing unique Songun politics.
    The Songun politics represents the basic political mode of Korean-style socialism and serves as an all-powerful treasured sword firmly guaranteeing the victorious advance of the cause of socialism. It is a special feat performed by Kim Jong Il in accomplishing the cause of socialism that he has built powerful political and military force under the banner of Songun.
    The greatness of Kim Jong Il's leadership over the victorious cause of Korean-style socialism can also be found in that he made sure that the principle of socialism is firmly maintained in all fields of the revolution and construction.
    The historical truth that strict observance to the principle of socialism fully guarantees its eternal victory and prosperity will never change, concludes the article.
