Manifesto for National Independence of south Korea

¡¦

Our National Democratic Front of South Korea, a defender of the rights and interests of the south Korean people, announces this manifesto on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the national liberation out of a sense of the mission to achieve the true liberation as soon as possible, reflecting the volition of the people to put an end to the position of a cursed ruined country and greet a new turn of a great national leap.

Our manifesto for national independence of south Korea is an outcry of the people for true sovereignty.

The direction of the south Korean people today is to liberate the nation.

The cause of the national liberation is an indispensable demand arisen from the colonial structure of the south Korean society.

South Korea is a perfect colony of the US and a modern version of the past Manchuguo.

¡¦

The sovereignty in south Korea rests with the US, not with the south Koreans and south Korea is governed by the White House, not Cheong Wa Dae.

¡¦

The flunkeyist US worship, treacherous anti-communist ethos and the American and Japanese way of life are prevailing south Korea in institutional and legal terms.

Under their evil influences, spirit of the national independence is trampled underfoot, disunity and enmity within the nation are encouraged, national culture gets deformed and the nation itself is being Americanized.

Under the US colonial rule our people are not only physically slaughtered but also forced to have their territory and blood vessel divided.

Our people have been undergoing immeasurable national misfortunes and dreadful calamities owing to the national division by the US.

However, the division of the country grows wider to perpetuation with every passing day.

The permanent division of the country would lead to the ruin of the nation.

This is, indeed, a terrible tragedy of the people in colonial south Korea.

To accomplish the cause of national liberation in south Korea destitute of the sovereignty is the inalienable right and duty no force can violate.

¡¦

The banner our people should uphold today in the national liberation movement is anti-US independence.

Anti-US independence is the real way to terminate the colonial subordination and recover the usurped territory and national sovereignty and a shortcut to democracy and reunification.

Our national liberation struggle for anti-US independence is a showdown between the invaders and the invaded and a decisive battle between the patriots and traitors.

The major target of this struggle is the US imperialist aggressors to whom the spearhead should be directed.

The US imperialists are the ringleaders of aggression and oppression and sworn enemies who have historically imposed calamities and misfortunes upon our nation.

A handful of south Korean flunkeyist traitors are also a target of the struggle for anti-US independence, who, as well as the US imperialists, must be eliminated.

Comprador capitalists, reactionary bureaucrats and pro-American elements in south Korea are guiding foreign forces into this country and are traitors who sell out the sovereignty of the country.

The motive force of the anti-US struggle for independence in colonial south Korea is the broad masses aspiring after national sovereignty, namely workers, peasants, students, small and medium businessmen, intellectuals, patriotic soldiers and religious men.

The working class is the decisive force for the victory of the anti-US struggle for independence, the peasants are a reliable ally of the working class and the students are the main force making breakthrough in the van of the struggle.

The NDFSK led by the immortal Juche idea not only represents the south Korean people's aspiration and will, but also is their patriotic vanguard organization.

The struggle of anti-fascist democracy and the national reunification are the historic task which the NDFSK and the patriotic people should accomplish in the national liberation struggle for anti-US independence.

Democratization of the society and the national reunification can be achieved through the anti-US struggle for independence and the cause of independence is promoted by the anti-fascist struggle and the reunification movement.

The master key to the victory of the national liberation struggle against the US imperialists and their stooges is to strengthen the main forces of the nation.

The indestructible main forces are prepared and fostered by awakening and organizing the masses and in the process of mass struggles.

When the masses are awakened to national and political consciousness and emerge on the arena of history in order to shape their own destiny, no force on earth can defeat them.

Unity is the source of the strength of the nation¡¯s main forces.

For the purpose of integrating the nation¡¯s will and organizing people's forces efficiently in south Korea, we should form an extensive national united front which embraces all patriotic forces-political parties and groupings and people of all strata.

Today when the anti-US struggle for independence is a historic requirement of the nation, the attitude toward the US is the only yardstick distinguishing patriotism from treachery.

Anti-US attitude is patriotic and pro-US attitude is treacherous.

The situation urges everyone to transcend the bounds of political groups and parties for the sake of the country and take the way to anti-US independence.

Our NDFSK calls on all south Koreans to join the national united front and resolutely take part in the anti-US national salvation movement for independence of south Korea, irrespective of whether they are nationalists or communists, whether they are believers or unbelievers, whether they live at home or abroad and whether they have committed crimes against the country or not.

Those who have strength can contribute with strength: those who have knowledge with knowledge: and those who have money with money.

The anti-US struggle for independence has already started and the situation is developing in favor of our people.

Now that the day of a drastic battle to restore the national sovereignty is approaching, our people have no room to retreat.

National liberation is the most urgent task of history which brooks no delay.

If we withdraw from this national liberation struggle, we shall never be able to free ourselves from the bitter fate of colonial slavery.

If we fail to overcome this crisis, we shall lose even the homogeneity of the nation and our beautiful three thousand-ri country.

Onlooking leads to death and hesitation to ruin.

Ours is an era of Jajusong when the people, once oppressed and maltreated, are steering history.

Dominators¡¯ rule is giving way to independent government throughout the world.

Oppressed nations are achieving independence and becoming masters of their own destiny.

At this crucial moment all south Koreans who love the country and nation and want independence should join the great anti-US struggle for national liberation.

We present the following immediate program and will struggle to carry it out in a bid to accomplish the cause of the national independence.

 

1. to establish a national independent government.

¡¦

2. to realize a democratic policy.

¡¦

3. to build a national independent economy.

¡¦

4. to stabilize the people's living.

¡¦

5. to develop a national education.

¡¦

6. to build a national culture.

¡¦

7. to establish a sound ethos.

¡¦

8. to build up independent national defense.

¡¦

9. to pursue an independent diplomacy.

¡¦

10. to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.

¡¦

Our national liberation cause is just and the anti-US struggle for independence, running with the current of the times, is sure to be won.

Pro-US flunkeyism or anti-US independence, we will fight for independence against the US and win the victory without fail.

Long live the cause of anti-US independence!

Long live the national liberation cause!

Declaration for Democratization of South Korea

 

The democratic movement in south Korea has entered a new turning phase with the presidential election approaching.

The publication of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration two years ago was not only a great national event that opened a new horizon for the country¡¯s reunification, but also a landmark that made a breakthrough of democracy in south Korea.

With the adoption of the declaration, the upstream current of division began to turn to a large stream toward reunification despite the resistance of the conservative forces. 

The era is over when the government monopolized the debate on the reunification problem. Participating in contacts, exchanges and travel with north Korea are not only government officials and businessmen but all sections of the people including workers, farmers, youth and students, women, scholars, men of the press, artistes, athletes and religionists. 

The public mood of anti-US independence, anti-conservatism and national unity grows high among all strata of the society. Suppression of the public call for independence and democracy of the south Korean society and reunification of the nation is facing a spiraling public protest. 

The reality shows that the movement for democracy has entered a new high stage in south Korea with the adoption of the inter-Korean joint declaration.

It is a precious foundation for democratic development of the south Korean society.

However, the fascist legal structure and repressive system, legacies of the past despotism, have yet to be cleaned away and autonomous democratic organizations are not legalized. 

Especially, there appears a symptom of revival of dictatorship. 

The situation requires democratizing the socio-political life on a higher stage on the basis of the already-won successes. 

The National Democratic Front of South Korea announces this declaration in order to purposefully promote the south Korean movement for democracy in conformity with the requirement of the situation.

Democracy of the socio-political life is ensured by a democratic government for the nation and people. 

All civilian governments are not democratic ones.

A democratic government true to its name is a government for the nation and people which rejects outsiders¡¯ intervention, aspires after national independence and respects the will and interests of the people.

For the establishment of a democratic government serving the nation and people, it is imperative to take a correct option in the upcoming presidential election.

The election will be an opportunity to select a democratic government for the people or an old conservative politics.

All people should take part in the election to vote against the candidate of the Grand National Party seeking to restore the old fascist system, and win victory of the true democratic political forces, the clean-handed independent national forces free from flunkeyism, corruption and military despotism.

All youth and students sensitive to the new, justice and patriotism should participate in the presidential election to lead all people to the struggle to defeat the GNP candidate.

The socio-political life can be democratized only after destroying all the anti-democratic legal and institutional mechanisms.

It is an anachronistic, anti-democratic and anti-reunification act to preserve the pre-modern legal and institutional apparatuses barring democratic development of the society in this scientific and civilized age and to maintain the laws and system of the Cold War era that cause confrontation within the nation in this reunification era. 

All the anti-democratic laws including the National Security Law and the Public Custody Law detrimental to democratic development of the society and better relations between south and north Korea, all the intelligence and repressive bodies and the ideological conversion system should be abolished completely. 

The essence of democratization of the socio-political life is to secure the freedom of association and activities of patriotic and progressive political parties and organizations.

It is a universal right of the people allowed in all countries of the world to form political parties and organizations and conduct their activities according to their ideologies, isms and political views.

Association and activities of progressive parties and organizations and all other sorts of political parties and organizations representing broad public opinion including the advocacy of anti-Americanism and reunification with north Korea should be legalized. 

The NDFSK is a vanguard detachment carrying out the south Korean people¡¯s demand and a patriotic party serving the people. 

Struggle should be activated to achieve legitimacy and free activities of the NDFSK, the vanguard party of the south Korean people. 

The south headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country¡¯s Reunification and the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils should be legalized and free activities of all progressive parties and organizations representing the people¡¯s opinion be ensured. 

Freedom of thought, expression and conscience and personal liberty are the inviolable fundamental rights of the people and major symbol of a democratic society.

It is an anachronistic suppression of ideology to force people to believe in liberal democracy only.

Freedom should be secured to study, believe in and disseminate the immortal Juche idea, the acme of progressive ideologies of the world.

The freedom of the press, publication, association, demonstration and conscience and personal liberty should be realized.

A ceaseless struggle should be waged to wipe out the legal and social rules violating the people¡¯s fundamental rights and eradicate surveillance, shadowing, wiretapping, illegal arrest, torture, intimidation and terrorism.

Inspection, police search and arrest of those struggling for independence, democracy and reunification should be discontinued and a dynamic struggle should be unfolded for the release, pardon and reinstatement of all the illegally arrested political prisoners, prisoners of conscience and north Korea visitors in order to build a society of justice in which patriotism judges treachery.

The struggle for independence, democracy and reunification can emerge victorious when it is waged in organic unification.

Apart from anti-US independence, democratization of the socio-political life cannot be realized in colonial south Korea.

As far as the United States intervenes in the internal affairs of south Korea, it is not easy either to realize democratic elections reflecting the people¡¯s intention or to promote inter-Korean exchange and cooperation independently with the concerted efforts of the nation.

In order to build an independent and democratic society, foreign forces¡¯ domination and intervention should be rejected and a government embodying the Juche character and national character be established.

We should ensure freedom of the anti-US movement for independence and regain the jurisdiction over GI criminals and prerogative of military command.

We should rise up in a nationwide struggle to oppose the payment of expenses for the maintenance of the US troops and south Korea-US joint war exercises and expel the US forces, bases and nukes from south Korea.

For the present, we should foil the US hard-line policy toward north Korea aimed at checking the improvement of inter-Korean relations and isolating and stifling north Korea. We should also struggle for the realization of Pyongyang¡¯s proposal for concluding a north Korea-US non-aggression treaty to prevent a nuclear war ruinous to the nation, and secure peace.

Without freedom of the reunification movement, social democracy cannot be realized.

For the democratization of the society the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration should be defended and implemented.

The joint declaration, milestone of independent reunification, is a program of reunification common to the nation, the implementation of which will bring about democracy and independence of the south Korean society.

The attitude toward the declaration is a touchstone distinguishing patriotism from treachery, democracy from anti-democracy and reunification from anti-reunification.

We should resolutely oppose all the anti-reunification acts hampering the implementation of the declaration and support the candidate with a will to support, adhere to and carry out the declaration in the forthcoming presidential election.

What is most important in realizing democracy of the socio-political life is the unity of the national democratic forces.

Unity of the national democratic forces is the fundamental of the democratic movement.

The standard for national unity is the stand and attitude toward the June 15 joint declaration. All those who support the declaration should join hands altogether on the principle of disregarding the past. In all struggles from the struggle for the right to existence to the struggle for establishing a national democratic government, the political parties, organizations and people of all strata should firmly unite and all regions and sectors should realize solidarity to take joint steps and actions.

Victory of the democracy movement lies in its popularization.

People in every walk of life are the driving force of the national democratic movement.

The national democratic activists should advance realistic slogans of struggle acceptable to the people, free themselves from the mode of radical and unforeseen struggle and adopt a mode of struggle which can win sympathy and participation of the people.

  Our democracy movement is a part of the movement for global independence and democracy and forms a common front with it.

Strengthening solidarity with international democratic organizations will help expand the support to the south Korean democracy movement and intensify the international isolation and pressure on the anti-democratic forces of south Korea.

We should positively inform the international community of the justness and situation of the south Korean democracy movement and the anti-democratic forces¡¯ unfair suppression and strengthen organizational unity and solidarity with international democratic organizations.

The NDFSK Central Committee believes that this declaration will be an encouraging banner in opening the way for a new upsurge of the democracy movement and powerfully accelerating the anti-US movement for independence and national reunification.

Our democracy movement will emerge victorious without fail as it is a sacred struggle of patriotism and justice conforming to the call of the times and people.

Let us advance all together for the democratization of the south Korean society!
