DPRK: The Logic of the Juche Calendar

The Patriarch Founder of the DPRK – Kim Il Sung – was born 1912. The Soviet Union assisted Kim Il Sung in founding the DPRK on September 9th, 1948. Like the USSR, the DPRK adopted the Gregorian Calendar. On September 9th, 1997, the DPRK instigated the ‘Juche Calendar’ (Korean: ‘주체연호’ – Ju Che Yeon Ho) – which marked the origin of the Juche ideology with the birth of its founder – Kim Il Sung – namely ‘1912’. This developed had been discussed for a number of years within the Korean Workers’ Party. It was first suggested by former Foreign Minister Choi Duk- sin in a letter to Kim Il Sung in 1988, although the idea had been informally discussed since 1986. Following the passing of Kim Il Sung ion the 8.7.1994, the idea took on a greater strength and was met with general agreement. As a means to continuously remember the founder of the North Korean State, his victory over US aggression, and his ability to build a Socialist State with Korean characteristics, it was thought a progressive move for the DPRK to instigate a dual-calendar system. The Juche Calendar begins with 1912 being ‘Year 1’. Given that Kim Il Sung was born on the 15.4.1912, and that the DPRK was founded on the 9.9.1948 (‘Year 37’ of the Juche Calendar), the year 1997 was designated ‘Year 86’ of the Juche Calendar. The Juche Calendar exists side by side with the Gregorian Calendar, but is considered more important. In the DPRK today, the date would be written like this: Juche 108 (2019).

China Confronts US Fascism and Defends the World’s Collective Human Rights (23.12.2019)

By way of contrast, the United States has continuously pursued a policy of attempting to induce ethnic rivalry and racial strife amongst the Chinese people in an attempt to generate false ‘freedom’ movements that look toward and support the ideology of the capitalist West, and rely upon US support and sustenance. This CIA policy protects the existing (and historical) racism existent in the US onto China, whilst trying to undo the Solidarity of the Socialist System and separate the 56 ethnic groups into belligerent and conflicting entities all seeking a little bit of Chinese land for themselves, whilst all holding anti-Han (racist) viewpoints! This US policy seeks to reduce the unity of China into a fascistic cauldron of racial violence, hatred and greed, as a means to defeat the Socialist Revolution and sweep away the Socialist System and replace it with predatory capitalism. The American Government concocts a racially based ‘lie’ about China in the English language which very few people in the West possess the education to oppose, expose or reveal as ‘false’. This ‘lie’ is then perpetuated through the US media and the US education system so that the ‘lie’ is treated as an unquestioned ‘fact’. The US Government perpetuates the racial myth that the Chinese people are physically, psychologically, emotionally, culturally and politically backward, and that Chinese society must be attacked as the ‘evil’ manifestation it is, and replaced with predatory capitalism.
