The work published on Oct. 17, Juche 71 (1982) clarifies the great significance of the formation of the Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU) in the history of the WPK and the Korean revolution and the precious successes and experience gained in the building of the Juche-type revolutionary party and the invincible might and appearance of the WPK.

The WPK has demonstrated its invincible might, enjoying high dignity and prestige entirely because it has successfully carried forward the glorious history and tradition of the DIU under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, the article says, and goes on:

The principle of independence laid down by the DIU serves as an ever-victorious signpost the WPK has steadfastly maintained generation after generation.

The tradition of the single-minded unity of the DIU serves as an everlasting invincible banner of the WPK.

The said tradition dating back to the days of the DIU serves as the most valuable treasure of the party and has been steadfastly carried forward in the stern years of the Korean revolution.

The blood ties with the popular masses provided by the DIU are a sure guarantee for the party building and activities.

The WPK forms a great harmonious whole with the people in which it serves them and they uphold its leadership with single-minded loyalty. Herein lies the source of the invincible might of the WPK.

The tradition of the DIU is a precious treasure of eternal value for the party and serves as an ever-victorious weapon for it in the struggle for successfully accomplishing the cause of building a great prosperous and powerful nation.
