Poster: Socialist Wonderland

The creation of Juche Thought: Progressive thinking plays an important role in the development of social history. Only when the masses are guided by progressive ideas can they become powerful creators of history. In order to develop revolution under new historical conditions, the working class and the masses of the people in each country must adopt a sense of ownership and solve all problems based on their own actual conditions. Chairman Kim Il-sung discovered the truth of Juche in the course of his struggle against stubborn nationalists, fashionable Marxists, bigots and dogmatists and to open up a new path for revolution. Chairman (Kim Il Sung) proposed a new revolutionary thought, namely Juche thought, based on the practical experience and lessons of the revolutionary struggle. The Juche idea was perfected through the practice of the Korean Revolution and became the guiding ideology of the revolution of the times. In this way, the Juche idea was created based on the requirements of the new era in which the people emerged as the masters of history and the rich experience of revolutionary struggle, and thus became the great guiding ideology of the revolution of the times.

The "Three-Self" theory of Juche Thought: political autonomy, economic self-reliance, and national defense and self-defense. [5]

The leadership view of revolution: The people are the masters of revolutionary construction. The leader is the head, the party is the body, and the people are the limbs, body, and limbs. They should obey the command of the head. If there is no mind, there is no life. [5]

Social and political vitalism: Fathers give people physical life, and leaders give people political life. A leader is a benefactor like a father. Just as one should obey the father's absolute leadership in the family, the people should unite around the leader with unconditional loyalty and love the leader with loyalty and filial piety. The leader is the benefactor and loving father who gives life to the people. This seriously violates socialist democracy and socialist legal system. [5]
