Songun Politics, Mighty Mode of Politics
Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- The Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea is supported by more and more people of the world as days go by.

World-startling miracles have been wrought in the efforts for defending socialism and building a great, prosperous and powerful nation. This is the brilliant victory brought about by the Songun politics.

The Songun politics embodies the Juche-oriented theory of the importance of ideology that idea decides everything and nothing is impossible to do when the ideology of the people is set in motion.

The WPK's Songun politics is the political mode which embodies the principle of theory of the importance of ideology in strengthening the might of the Korean People's Army and taking the revolutionary soldier spirit as a powerful weapon.

The political and ideological superiority and might of the KPA is the essential characteristic of a genuine revolutionary army that any aggression army can never possess.

It is the stand and will of the WPK that only arms with thorough ideology can ensure the victory of the revolution.

The WPK, therefore, takes ideology as the main along with arms and combines arms with ideology. It maintains the principle of pushing forward the revolution and construction with its might.

The revolutionary soldier spirit is the basis of the Songun politics.

The spirit created by the KPA is its lofty revolutionary one, the main content of which is the spirit of devotedly defending the leader, the spirit of thorough implementation and the heroic self-sacrifice spirit; it is the do-or-die spirit in which one devotes the youth and life for the Party and revolution, country and people.

The revolutionary soldier spirit has been displayed to the full in all the units of the KPA and the habit of following the spirit established across the whole society. As a result, the KPA has been strengthened and developed into an army strong in idea and faith, the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu, and the Korean people have grown as a people strong in idea and faith.

Miraculous successes were made in the past nearly 15 years during which the Kanggye spirit was created, torches of Songgang and Ranam were kindled and the stamina of Thaechon pervaded the country and the "Huichon Speed," a new Chollima speed, is being created today. All these are a full demonstration of the extraordinary traction power and vitality of the revolutionary soldier spirit and the inexhaustible strength of the Songun politics.

The exploits of General Secretary Kim Jong Il, who was the first in history to clarify the principle of the theory of the importance of ideology and has successfully applied it to the Songun politics and thus created the great example of socialist politics, will last long along with the chronicles of the Songun revolution.
