After the national liberation in 1945, there were many difficulties and obstacles in the path of building a new country under the complicated situation.
Factionalists and "Leftist" and Rightist opportunists, who posed themselves as "revolutionists" and "patriots", confused the building of a new country insisting that a bourgeois republic should be established or a socialist country should be built up instantly.
On August 20, Juche 34(1945), President
In the speech, the President set forth the Juche-oriented line of building a new country to carry forward the Korean revolution and build a prosperous sovereign and independent state by our people’s own efforts based on the national liberation.
Then the President set the three major tasks for building of the Party, the state and the armed forces to implement the line.
He instructed that we should found the Party which is the general staff of the Korean revolution and the vanguard detachment of the working class and build it as a mass party of the working people, that we should form a united democratic national front embracing the democratic forces of all strata and on the basis of it, set up a people’s government, and that we should build a revolutionary regular army to defend the country and nation as well as the revolutionary gains.
The line of building a new country was a precious guideline that indicated the ways to advance and defend the Korean revolution by our people’s own efforts under the new historical environment of the country which had been just liberated from the Japanese imperialist colonial rule.
Afterwards, the President made public the immortal classic works including "On progressive democracy" and "On the building of new Korea and the national united front" to brightly illumine the road ahead of the liberated new Korea.
Then he dispatched the anti-Japanese revolutionary fighters to different parts of the country to arouse our people to building a new country.
Under the wise leadership of the President, the historic cause of building the Party, the state and the armed forces was accomplished successfully and our people came to lead a genuine life to their heart’s content as the legitimate masters of the country.
