| Thae Yongho addressing the meeting |
by New Worker correspendent
THE JUCHÉ Idea Study group of England last Saturday gathered
in north London to mark the 50th anniversary of the great leader
comrade Kim Jong Il starting work at the central committee of the Workers'
Party of Korea. This was a great landmark in the Korean revolution.
The meeting was addressed by Comrade Thae Yongho from the
embassy of the Democratic Republic of Korea who gave an account of the vital
role of Kim Jong Il in developing Songun politics and the Juché idea starting
at a time when Khrushchov had not long made his 20th CPSU attack on
Stalin and communists throughout the world were in turmoil.
The Juché path gave a way forward for communists to go
forward on the basis of developing their own independent policies based on the
realities of their own situation while respecting and maintaining good terms
with others.
Comrade Theo Russell also addressed the meeting on behalf of
the New Communist Party and spoke of the history of Juché and Kim Jong Il’s
role in developing it.
There was discussion from the floor, including a discussion
on the damaging effect of the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s and 70s,
especially in the Third World where communists became engaged in fighting each
other instead of working together to develop a path to socialism appropriate to
their own concrete circumstances.
