People identified as makers of history

Date: 04/07/2022 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

The masses of the people have been in existence throughout history.

And all material wealth of society has been created and social change and progress made by their creative labour and struggle.

However, they had long failed to be regarded as makers of history and been excluded from the mainstream of the times.

It was none other than President Kim Il Sung who put them forward as the makers of history.

Having embarked on the road of revolution to save the destiny of the country and nation at a time when dark clouds of distress hanged over the nation under Japanese military rule, Kim Il Sung created the original idea that the masses of the people are masters of the revolution and they are also the motive force of the revolution and construction and achieved the historic cause of Korea’s liberation by leading the 20-year-long anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle.

After the country’s liberation, he built an independent and sovereign democratic state by believing in the people and relying on their strength.

To contribute positively to the work of building the state, let those with strength give their strength; let those with knowledge give their knowledge; let those with money give their money; and all people who truly love their country, their nation and democracy must unite closely to build an independent and democratic state, he said at that time. His words are still engraved in golden letters in the history of the Korean revolution.

Those who shattered the myth of the “mightiness” of US imperialism and set the US on the downhill path were just the Korean working masses who had been subjected to maltreatment and contempt and cast out from the times and history.

Under the guidance of the President, the Korean people created a legend of war victory unprecedented in the world history of wars and completed just in three years the postwar reconstruction which was thought to be impossible even in a hundred years, demonstrating the mettle of the heroic people.

The Korean people who emerged as the makers of history cooperativized agriculture in five years after the war and set up a socialist system, and accomplished the industrialization of the country in 14 years.

The Korean working people were also the performers of miracles who gave birth to the legendary Chollima and produced 120 000 tons of billets by means of a blooming mill with a rated annual capacity of 60 000 tons.

Therefore, the President would always say that nothing in the world is more powerful and resourceful than the working masses and success in the revolution and construction depends on how the masses of the people are organized and mobilized. He wrote in his reminiscences With the Century: “Revolutionaries, believe in the people and rely on them at all times and you shall always emerge victorious; if you are forsaken by them, you will always fail. Let this be your maxim in your life and struggle.”

The Korean people who have advanced history as masters of the independent era braved all sorts of trials and difficulties and safeguarded socialism during the Arduous March and forced march in the 1990s. They are now victoriously advancing the socialist cause while overcoming manifold difficulties under the leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.
