The WPK attaches importance to the first page of its history. This is not for demonstrating the proud ever-victorious path it has covered or highlighting its recognized absolute prestige but for ensuring its firm existence, victorious development and rosy future, the article says, and goes on:

Steadfast is the determination of our Party to set store by the first page of its sacred history and give invariable and steady continuity to it as new pages of its exploits are added to its history.

The party-building cause of the working class is a long-term undertaking which continues generation after generation and the issue of preserving the party's fighting programme and character and maintaining and intensifying its inherent nature and climate can never come to a settlement naturally although the party has a long ruling history and excellent traditions. It is the historical lesson taught by socialist construction that if a ruling party behaves in an authoritarian way, sticking to its role as a weapon of class struggle and a weapon of revolution and construction only, it will lose its leadership function and can not maintain its existence.

A revolutionary party should never forget its founding history but carry it forward invariably in order to remain faithful to its ideal and mission, consolidate its political climate and purify its climate.

To guarantee the eternal prosperity of the WPK by inheriting the idea and spirit of the Party founding purely is the core of the idea of our Party building.

The WPK will shine more brilliantly as the organizer and guide of all victories and an invincible revolutionary party of the Korean people as there are the precious ideological and spiritual baton handed down by the pioneer generation of the cause of party building and the officials and the members of the Party, who are determined to inherit it in a pure, thorough and perfect way.
