Our Socialism Centered on the Masses Shall Not Perish

By: Kim Jong Il

3.69

Format: 52 pages, Paperback

A talk to the senior officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, May 5, 1991…

"People's social class influences their actions, but it does so through their ideological consciousness. Even people of an undesirable class origin, if under a revolutionary influence, can contribute to the revolution. The Juche idea's approach towards people of different classes and strata is that they should be judged by their ideas and actions and that the people who help towards social progress and the revolution should be trusted as a driving force of the revolution, without their social class origin being questioned. Our Party has never hesitated to trust all the people who have come out in the struggle for the masses' independence, and has guided them along the path of revolution."
