    Pyongyang, September 25 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday dedicates a signed article to the anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's publication of famous work "Let Us March Forward Dynamically along the Road of Socialism and Communism under the Unfurled Banner of the Anti-Imperialist Struggle".
    The work published on Sept. 25, Juche 76 (1987), serves as an immortal guiding principle for winning the victory in the cause of independence against imperialism in the present times, the article says, and goes on:
    It serves as an undying banner powerfully encouraging and propelling the anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. struggle in the present era and as guidelines for waging the struggle for the victory of the cause of socialism to the end with the faith in socialism.
    The publication of the work helped the revolutionary people turn out more vigorously in the anti-imperialist struggle with a correct understanding of the character of modern imperialism, the inevitability of its downfall and unchangeable aggressive and predatory nature of imperialism.
    Imperialism is destined to go to its final ruin but it does not fall itself. Only through a resolute anti-imperialist struggle of the working masses is it possible to bring imperialism to its doom. This is the main idea that runs through the work.
    Importance should be attached to the army and military capability be boosted. This is the way of winning a decisive victory in the showdown with imperialism and the U.S. by taking the initiative in frustrating the moves of the U.S. imperialists for aggression.
    The banner of Songun held aloft by the Worker's Party of Korea represents the most striking manifestation of the anti-imperialist fighting spirit and the revolutionary stand.
    The work serves as the essential guiding principle to be always held fast in dynamically pushing ahead with the anti-imperialist struggle and socialist construction.
    Kim Jong Il stressed in the work that what is of decisive significance in bringing imperialism to its ruin and achieving victory in the revolution is to build a strong driving force of the revolution and strengthen the party, the vanguard of the revolution, and increase its role, in particular.
    He set forth an original idea of firmly building the driving force of the revolution with a revolutionary army as its core and main force for the first time in history on the basis of deep analysis of the development of the times and changed social and class relations in recent years. The historic exploits he has performed by setting an example of epoch-making significance in strengthening the driving force of the revolution as required by the developing reality and the change of the social and class relations will always remain shining in the history of the socialist movement.
