The Revolutionary Traditions Of The Glorious Anti-Japanese Struggle of The Korean People led by The Great General KIM IL SUNG By Shaun Pickford





Revolutionary Traditions are a heritage from the period when the right path was opened for the struggle of the working class. They are a priceless asset, a source of inspiration for successfully carrying out the revolution and construction. These traditions can only take shape in the course of the struggle of the popular masses. It is only the leader of the revolution who can create a legacy of progressive and socialist traditions. Brilliant achievements and rich experiences are gained in the process of a revolutionary struggle started and guided by a Great Leader.

The Korean people have waged a ceaseless struggle against foreign aggressors and all shades of class enemies. However the communist movement in Korea suffered repeated failures, going through ordeals for lack of guidance by a prominent leader. Only when the Korean people acclaimed President Kim IL Sung as the sun of the nation and the outstanding leader of the revolution, could the workers, peasants and intellectuals of Korea greet the new era of struggle advancing with a a correct guiding ideology. It was not until President Kim IL Sung embarked on the road of national and social liberation, leading the Korean people to victory over Japanese colonialism. These traditions were created in the crucible of the 15-year-long Japanese armed struggle. 

The revolutionary traditions created by President Kim IL Sung during the Anti-Japanese struggle are embodiments of the Juche Idea. In the incipient stage of carving out a new path of revolution, the Great Leader Comrade Kim IL Sung authored the Juche Idea and put forward original strategies and tactics as its embodiments. Further, the Great General Kim IL Sung trained a large number of communists of the younger generation, made the popular masses revolutionary and organised them, thereby building up the backbone force of the Korean Revolution. Based on a scientific analysis of the situation in Korea, General Kim IL Sung founded the Korean People's Revolutionary Army, and waged an organised and protracted armed struggle against the Japanese imperialist aggressors. The Anti-Japanese armed struggle was a national liberation war led by the Communists under the banner of the Juche Idea for the first time in history. It was the most arduous Revolutionary War, unprecedented in the annals of conflict. President Kim IL Sung led the anti-Japanese struggle to a historic victory with distinguished revolutionary thought and theory, and with rare ability of leadership. 

These revolutionary traditions created by President Kim IL Sung fully embodied the Juche Idea, the theory of revolution and the method of leadership evolved on the basis of the anti-Japanese struggle. The ideological system of Juche and communist revolutionary fighting spirit, immortal revolutionary exploits and valuable combat experiences and work with the popular masses are the important contents of the glorious anti-Japanese resistance traditions of the 1930s and 1940s. The revolutionary traditions established by President Kim IL Sung during the anti-Japanese struggle have been further developed by Chairman Kim Jong IL and Marshal Kim Jong Un. Regarding the inheritance of the anti-Japanese revolutionary traditions as the fundamental issue that is decisive of the fate of Korean-style socialism, Marshal Kim Jong Un resolutely upholds these traditions and carries them forward with credit. The revolutionary traditions of the Workers' Party of Korea are of universal importance for the Korean people and other revolutionary peoples of the world because these legacies contain the correct guidelines to be consistently adhered to in the process of the revolution and construction. On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Korea from Japanese imperialism, the militant and glorious revolutionary traditions estbalished by the Great and Respected General Kim IL Sung and carried on by the Dear Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, will live forever in the hearts and minds of progressive humanity!!

STATEMENT IN CELEBRATION OF THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF KOREA’S LIBERATION FROM JAPANESE IMPERIALISM-Nikolai Aamand Chairman of the Denmark-DPRK Friendship Association

  On August 15th 1945, the Korean people cast off the cruel yoke of Japanese imperialism. After forty five years of colonial rule, Korea was liberated — not by chance, but through decades of determined resistance and immense sacrifice. We remember the countless revolutionaries who gave everything for the cause of liberation and socialism. From the great March 1st uprising in 1919 to the network of underground People’s Committees, their efforts formed the backbone of the liberation movement. Foremost among these was Commander in Chief Kim Il Sung, leader of the Anti-Japanese People’s Guerrilla Army. From the forests of northern Korea and Manchuria, his fighters dealt heavy blows to imperialist forces and ignited a flame of resistance that could not be extinguished. Japanese occupation was an era of forced assimilation, looting of resources, and barbaric repression. Korean identity was suppressed; millions were sent to work as forced laborers, and countless young women were coerced i...
