true Juche
Juche (/dʒuːˈtʃeɪ/; [2] Korean: 주체, lit. 'self-body'; Korean pronunciation: [tɕutɕhe]; can
be translated as "[[self-ownership]]" is described by the government as Kim Il-sung's original, brilliant and revolutionary contribution to
national and international thought. [3] It postulates that "man is the master of his own destiny", [4] that man is to act as master
"continuously transforms nature and society, changing as he desires [5] " and that by becoming reliant on oneself and strong the
[6]
individual can "free himself from the fetters of society and nature"
== Juche principles defined by Kim Jong-il [7] ==
=== Philosophical principle ===
The philosophical principle entails that Juche is a individual-centered philosophy.The individual has independence, creativity and
consciousness, which places the individual at the center of the world. This is described by the maxim coined by Kim Il-sung in a
1972 interview with Japanese journalists: "man is the master of everything and decides everything." Man transforms the world andembodies Chajusŏng, or independence and autonomy. By putting man at the center,
Kim Jong-il denies that a group can have those elements. A group doesn't has a will,
consciousness, creativity only the individual has those elements and can act upon it.
=== Socio-historical principles ===
The socio-historical principles of Juche can be summarized as follows: individuals
are the subject of history. Human history is the struggle of the individuals to realize
their independence and defend it. Man's socio-historical mission is to transform both
nature and society. Here Kim departs from Marxism–Leninism by primarily setting
the individual against nature rather than the proletariat against the bour
geois class.
=== Guiding principles ===
There are three guiding principles in Juche:
1. the individual should be free from coercion, independence in politics, self-
sufficiency in economy and self-reliance in defence
2. The second principle, creative method, means that all problems arising in the
revolution of transforming the world to the wishes of the individuals are to be solved
by relying on the creativity of each individual
3. The third and final guiding principle is giving precedence to ideological
consciousness over all other work.
== Juche-Capitalism ==
Juche-Capitalism is a libertarian ideology created by Kim Il-sung. Juche-Capitalism is the belief of Juche(self-ownership) and in an
anarcho-capitalism system [1] , where true individual liberty can be achieved.
Juche-Capitalism is regarded as the original Juche idea, before it was changed, inverted and perverted by north Korean state and other state propagandists to sound like socialism.
=== History of Juche-capitalism ===
KIM JONG-IL describes KIM IL SUNG's struggle against Marxist(left wing) and nationalists(right wing) in his book On the Juche
Idea: "...
The leader discovered the truth of Juche idea in the course of the struggle against bigoted nationalists and bogus MARXIST,
flunkeyists and dogmatists, while hewing out a new path for the revolution. Finally, he explained the principles of the Juche idea at
the Meeting of Leading Personnel of the Young Communist League and the Anti-Imperialist Youth League held at Kalun in June
1930...".
"Merely copying the forms used by others instead of learning what stupidity Marxism ‐ Leninism really is, does us no good, only
harm." Kim IL-Sung in his speech entitled "On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and Establishing ''Juche'' in Ideological
Work" 1955.
== Juche in practice ==
Kim Il-sung, once commander-in-chief of the Korean Army and the first President
of the DPRK(North Korea), used Juche-capitalism to create himself. Each block of
the Juche-Tower(tallest obelisk; Georg Washington monument is the second tallest
obelisk) represents 1 day in the life of KIM IL-SUNG until his 70 birthday
(365x70years=25,550 blocks). [8]
Juche can not be applied by a state or any group.
Only individuals can apply Juche, because Juche is a man-centered individual
ideology.
