Juche
Comrade Kim Il Sung was a member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party, and a member of the Party Central Military Commission. He had created the Juche (defined as self-reliance) idea in the 1950s for the purpose of cutting off Soviet Union influence, and a way purge political opponents (The People's Korea). He emphasized that it was "the idea that the masters of the revolution are the most popular masses and that the masses are the motive force of the revolution" (Hookon, 95). In other words, it was the idea that one is the master of his/her own destiny. At that time, the "de-Stalinization" movements were occurring in the Soviet Union after the death of Stalin, who had helped Kim Il Sung achieve power. In addition, due to the failure of the Korean War, criticism against Kim Il Sung was also on the rise. He used the notion of Juche Ideology to support political campaigns "designed to prevent the influence of the "de-Stalinization" movement from infiltrating into North Korea," and to motivate the people to adapt the spirit of self-reliance in coping with the economic difficulties (Hun, 45). North Korea asserts that the Juche Ideology is a creative adaptation
