Validity of Idea on Waging Three-Revolution Team Movement Set Forth by President Kim Il Sung

 2026.7.7.

The idea on vigorously waging the three-revolution team movement set forth by President Kim Il Sung is not only a new and original idea that cannot be found in any other part of history but also a correct idea that enables the DPRK to speed up the three revolutions more vigorously in conformity with the intrinsic requirements of Korean-style socialism and the specific situation in the country.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"President Kim Il Sung had long put forward the unique ideology of three revolutions – ideological, technological and cultural – and made painstaking efforts for the development of the three-revolution team movement with a deep insight into its significance and importance in stepping up the three revolutions."

First of all, the idea on waging the three-revolution team movement is a correct idea that enables dynamic acceleration of the three revolutions in conformity with the intrinsic requirements of Korean-style socialism.

Korean-style socialism is a genuine people's society where the popular masses are the masters of everything including state power and means of production and everything serves the masses and which develops steadily by relying on the united efforts of the masses. Therefore, the method of mass leadership should fully meet the intrinsic requirements of Korean-style socialism, a people-centred society.

The three-revolution team movement initiated by the President fully accords with the intrinsic requirements of Korean-style socialism as it is a scientific and revolutionary method of mass leadership which strengthens the unity and cohesion of the masses and gives full play to their enthusiasm, activeness and creativity on the basis of the revolutionary mass line so as to speed up the three revolutions dynamically.

Relying on the masses' self-consciousness and revolutionary enthusiasm is a mode of struggle and creation peculiar to a socialist society.

In order to encourage people to turn out as one in carrying out the three revolutions with a consciousness befitting masters, there should be a guarantee for conducting the work of awakening and tempering them ideologically in a methodical and tireless way.

Such a guarantee is none other than the three-revolution team movement.

The three-revolution team movement is a movement in which teams are organized with excellent young people who are steadfast in the political and theoretical level and ideological preparedness and whose revolutionary determination and enthusiasm are higher than any other group, and they become the forerunners and vanguard in the ideological revolution of the relevant units. In the course of the three-revolution team movement, the excellent ideological and spiritual qualities of the members of the teams exert revolutionary influences on the masses, and the ideological work, political work, which they conduct in an intensive manner under the leadership of the Party, serves as a powerful means of redoubling the revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses.

The three-revolution team movement also plays a great role in the technical and cultural revolutions of the relevant units.

In socialist society, technical transformation and cultural construction are not only undertakings for the masses but also the work of the masses themselves, which can be carried out successfully only by relying on their creative wisdom and activeness.

The three-revolution team movement makes the young intellectuals equipped with modern science and technology solve the technical problems arising in production in the van and, in the course of this, enables the masses to learn about advanced science and technology and steadily improve the technical foundations of the relevant units.

The movement is a driving force for making the whole country overflow with revolutionary and optimistic culture and for raising the level of civilization of the working people remarkably by making the members of the teams play the vanguard role in the cultural revolution.

Next, the idea on waging the three-revolution team movement is a correct idea that enables continuous and dynamic acceleration of socialist construction in conformity with the specific conditions of socialist Korea in the 1970s.

In the 1970s when the three-revolution team movement was initiated, the socialist cause was advancing in the DPRK with more confidence and vitality than ever before as socialist industrialization was completed and a radical change was effected in the mechanization of agriculture. Therefore, the Workers' Party of Korea was faced with a task of further accelerating the revolution and construction under the banner of the Juche idea on the basis of the successes already achieved.

With a deep insight into the urgent requirements of the times, the President created the three-revolution team movement, an original method of guiding the masses of the Korean style, which cannot be found in any classic.

As the three-revolution team movement is a movement for guiding the lower units by teams made up of hard-core elements prepared politically and ideologically and young intellectuals armed with the Juche idea and modern science and technology, it is possible to ensure political and ideological guidance and scientific and technological guidance simultaneously.

Moreover, as many people working in different sectors are involved in the teams, they can grasp the actual conditions at lower units in a comprehensive and detailed way and help them in a substantial way.

Through the three-revolution team movement, advanced technology and experience are continuously transferred down to the lowest units and the whole economic sector can make progress always full of vigour and vitality.

Thus, the three-revolution team movement is the most scientific and revolutionary method of mass guidance that leads socialist construction towards a period of uninterrupted upswing and upsurge in conformity with the specific situation in the DPRK in the 1970s.

The immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung, who initiated the three-revolution team movement and led it to fully display its attraction and viability in strengthening the driving force of the revolution and accelerating the socialist economic construction, will shine forever along with the glorious history of the DPRK and with the three red flags still flying at the helm of the general onward march.
