Juche Idea Serves as Banner for Eternal Victory of Korean Revolution: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- Guiding idea serves as a compass of the revolution, guidelines for party building and activities and the most precious mental pabulum, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in an article.

The article goes on:

Although a revolution started from scratch, it can successfully advance despite any difficulties if it is guided by a correct ideology, but if not, it is bound to sustain failure and setbacks.

The Juche idea is the eternal guiding idea of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean revolution. The Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung and developed in depth by leader Kim Jong Il is the revolutionary idea in which the man-centered philosophical idea, popular masses-centered theory of revolution and guiding methods constitute an integral system. It is the immortal revolutionary idea that occupies the highest and the most brilliant place in the history of human thought and an encyclopedic revolutionary doctrine that gives the most correct answers to all the issues arising in the revolution and construction in this era.

But for the banner of Juche, the Korean people would have never got rid of their wretched plight as colonial slaves and the DPRK would have never emerged as a political, ideological and military power as now.

A particular mention should be made of the fact that the WPK and the Korean people performed proud successes startling the world by ushering in a new heyday of the country's prosperity under the uplifted banner of socialism despite the rapidly changing situation and manifold trials in the 1990s. This is a clear proof of the attraction and vitality of the Juche idea.

As proven by the proud history of Juche Korea spanning a century and the present revolutionary practice, the Juche idea is, indeed, the eternal lifeline of the Korean revolution and the banner of all victories and prosperity.

As the Juche idea remains immortal, Korean-style socialism guided by it is ever-lasting and the revolutionary cause of the WPK and the cause of the Juche revolution dynamically advancing under the unfurled banner of Juche are sure to win their final victory.
