There is a revolutionary formula that the great leader Comrade
President
"There can be no immutable formula in making revolution. There are formulas in mathematics, but not in making revolution. If there is any formula that must be observed in revolution, it is that one should think everything with one's own brains and deal with it by one's own efforts."
The revolutionary formula the President obtained during the long period of revolutionary struggle is that each country cannot accept the revolutionary experience of other countries with absolute value, given that its historical conditions, geographical environment and customs are different, and the character, motive force and object of the revolution are different.
He led the whole course of the Korean revolution to victory with the firm faith that the communists of each country should establish their strategy and tactics themselves in conformity with the actual conditions of their country, and that only when all problems arising in the revolution are solved by their own efforts, not by others, can they lead the revolution to victory without making a slightest mistake in the line.
The following event happened when the president was in the course of leading the anti-Japanese armed struggle to victory in 1938.
The Communists in each country were then under the leadership of the Third International, which ordered the Communist organizations to unite the anti-Japanese allied units to encircle Changchun and advance to the Jehol line.
He judged the plan of the Comintern's plan of expedition to Jehol to be unrealistic and reckless in military strategy, and did not accept it.
Since it had been punished by any party for violating their orders at that time, every party of all countries was taking it for granted to carry out its orders.
But the President could not carry them out as it was, because instructions given by the Comintern was contrary to the basic principles of guerrilla warfare, and given without a good knowledge of the actual conditions of the distant countries.
He rejected the instructions of the Comintern, regarding it contrary to military common sense that the guerrilla army would advance into the unfamiliar fields, leaving the mountainous areas with a good mass base and geographical familiarity, and fight against the enemy's regular army, which was numerically and technically superior.
So some units of the anti-Japanese allied army suffered heavy losses of manpower by making the expedition to the Jehol as instructed by the Comintern, but the KPRA led by the President suffered no losses.
On September 12, 1977, when he met the delegation of the Communist Party of Spain on a visit to our country, the President said that there could be no fixed formula for the revolution and that the experience gained in the revolutionary struggle of one country could not be applied to the revolution of others.
The President, in his talk to the delegation of the Dominican People's Movement on May 9, 1967, said that our Party's independent stand was neither nationalist nor contrary to the principle of proletarian internationalism, and that as the revolution in each country was internationally related, the communists should naturally strengthen international solidarity.
He led the revolution and construction, regarding it as his creed that the revolution should be carried out by own efforts, thinking only of himself, and thus built Korean-style socialism independent in politics, self-supporting in the economy and self-reliant in national defence.
