Kim Jong Il’s Exploits for Cause of Anti-imperialist Independence
As he performed outstanding exploits for the cause of anti-imperialist independence with his extraordinary wisdom and practice, Chairman Kim Jong Il (1942-2011) is still highly praised by the world’s progressive mankind as a peerlessly great man in the era of independence.
Outstanding Thinker and Theoretician
Kim Jong Il, by conducting energetic ideological and theoretical activities, gave perfect answers to the numerous theoretical and practical problems raised by the times and history, thereby greatly encouraging the world’s progressive people in their struggle for independence.
He developed in depth the immortal Juche idea created by President Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), providing the most scientific ideological and theoretical weapon in the era of independence.
In particular, when the imperialists and reactionaries made a big fuss about the “end” of socialism availing themselves of the massive political upheavals created in some socialist countries from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, he left an indelible trace in the human history of ideology with his scientific insight, strong ability to analyse and judge and energetic authorship.
He made public many works including “The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party”, “Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable” and “Socialism Is a Science”, providing the banner of struggle for the victorious advance of the cause of socialism.
Still many political parties and people in the world study his profound ideas and theories in depth and regard them as the banner of their struggle for anti-imperialist cause.
Defender of Peace and Security
Towards the close of the 20th century the US-led imperialist allied forces intensified political and military offensive and pressure against socialist Korea more than ever before.
Kim Jong Il considered that the independence and dignity of the country and the global peace and security could be defended only by dint of self-defensive arms, tremendous military capabilities, in the present era when justice was being ruthlessly trampled upon by the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the imperialists.
His extraordinary military wisdom and unexcelled courage turned the DPRK into a political and military power, foiled the offensive of the imperialist allied forces to crush the country and safeguarded peace in the Korean peninsula where a touch-and-go situation was created.
Peace and security in the Korean peninsula can be said to constitute an indisputably important factor in ensuring peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region and the rest of the world. It is because, but for Kim Jong Il, a war would have been inevitable in the Korean peninsula and mankind would have suffered another catastrophic world war.
By building up powerful self-defensive military capabilities, he smashed the moves of the imperialist allied forces against his country and ensured peace and security in the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world. This is the greatest exploit he performed for the cause of global independence.
