인간은 사회적 존재로서 자주적이며 창조적이며 의식적인 생명체이다 - Kim Il-Sung
The foundations of culture have been created and the conditions for its progress are created by the working masses which are the makers of history.
- Ahmed Sékou Touré, Library:A Dialectical Approach to Culture (1969)
One should distinguish clearly between true nationalism that loves the nation and defends its interests and bourgeois nationalism that advocates the interests of the bourgeois class. The essence of nationalism is that the ideology reflects the feeling and psychology common to the members of a nation who yearn for independent development and prosperity of the nation and cherish the national character. Viewing nationalism by this criterion, it is clear that the bourgeois nationalism that reflects the exclusive and selfish demands and interests of the bourgeois class, not the common demands and interests of the nation, is a false version of nationalism that contradicts the genuine nationalism. The interests of the bourgeois class whose nature is selfishness can never be the interests of the entire nation but betrayal of the interests of the nation. -- Kim Jong Il (Library:On Nationalism)
A man who is unconcerned about the destiny of his country and nation cannot be faithful to internationalism. Revolutionaries of each country should be faithful to internationalism by struggling, first of all, for the prosperity of their own country and nation. -- Kim Jong Il (Library:On Having a Correct Understanding of Nationalism)
For the first time in history, the great leader President Kim Il Sung gave a correct explanation of nationalism, and elucidated the relationship between communism and nationalism and between communists and nationalists in his revolutionary practice of carving out the destiny of his country and people. He said that in order to be a true communist one must first become a true nationalist. With a determination to devote his life to his country and fellow-countrymen, he embarked on the road of revolution in his early years and created the immortal Juche idea, on the basis of which he established a Juche-oriented outlook on the nation, and scientifically expounded the essence and progressive character of nationalism. Through a correct combination of class character with national character and of the destiny of socialism with that of the nation, he realized an alliance between communists and nationalists, cemented the class and national positions of our socialism and led the nationalists to join the efforts for socialist construction and national reunification. Attracted by his broad magnanimity and noble personality, many nationalists took the patriotic road to national unity and national reunification, making a clean break with their erroneous pasts. Kim Ku, a life-long anti-communist, allied with communists, a patriotic changeover, in the twilight of his life, and Choe Tok Sin, a nationalist, was able to find salvation as a patriot in the leader's embrace. The great leader treasured and championed the independence not only of our nation but also of the peoples of the rest of the world. He devoted all his efforts to the cause of making the whole world independent, as well as to the Korean revolution. We can say that there has been no man in the world as great as him, who devoted his whole life to the nation's independence and prosperity, and a bright future for mankind. He was the most steadfast communist and, at the same time, a peerless patriot, true nationalist and paragon among internationalists. I also assert...that one must be an ardent patriot, a true nationalist, in order to become a genuine revolutionary, a communist. The communist who fights for the realization of the independence of the masses of the people must first of all be a true nationalist. Those who fight for their people, their country and their homeland are genuine communists, true nationalists and ardent patriots. Those who do not love their own parents, brothers and sisters cannot love their country and compatriots. Likewise, those who do not love their own homeland and people cannot become communists. We are inheriting with fidelity the great leader's noble idea of loving the country, the nation and the people, and making every effort to rally all the sections of the nation by dint of all-embracing politics, and lead them to the road of patriotism. -- Kim Jong Il (Library:On Having a Correct Understanding of Nationalism)
