The paper

The paper discussed the visionary leadership of Kim Jong Il who on the 19^th of June 1964 started working at the Central Committee of the Workers’ party of Korea, he burned the midnight oil in his office and by early hours of the morning he said to his officials that “our Party Flag bears the great history of revolutionary activities of the President Kim Il Sung”, and we must carry the red flag to develop the WPK into the eternal party of comrade Kim Il Sung which is his lifelong task.

With iron faith and will Kim Jong Il conducted extraordinary and energetic ideological and theoretical activities, explaining scientifically that Kim Il Sung’s revolutionary ideology, the Juche idea, is the guiding idea of the present times, the era of independence.

By putting forth the slogan “ Let the whole party go among the masses!” he made sure that the party struck its root deep among the masses and enjoy their absolute support and trust.

Ever – Victorious Banner of the Socialist Cause

Towards the end of the 80s and the early 90s of the last century several ruling parties in the socialist countries collapsed, lowering the red flags that had kept flying for decades; however, the red flag of the WPK flew higher and more powerfully.

Kim Jong Il made public such famous works as on the fundamentals of revolutionary party building, abuse of socialism are intolerable, socialism is a science, and Giving priority to ideological work is essential for accomplishing socialism.

In order to cope with the situation in which prejudice, tyranny and high – handedness of the United State posing itself as a “victor of the cold war” and “world’s only superpower,” prevailed, Kim Jong Il formulated the Songun politics as the basic political mode of socialism, and led forward the cause of the party.

The flag of the Workers’ Party of Korea under the leadership of Kim Jong Il will fly forever as an unfurled banner of the cause of socialism.
