In the course of opening new era to pursue peaceful unification, we today encounter with two th-reatening factors which by all means should be overcome. One of the factors is anti-democracy en-croaching upon our social structure, and the other is north Korea's threatening strategy designed to carry out revolution in the south.
Heedless to say, we are obliged to take a proper step to overcome these threats with firm grasp of their true natures.
This paper focuses on analysing north Korea's strategy of "the south Korean revolution", a th-reatening factor to the south.
North Korea has net regarded the relation beween the south and the north as the one between brethren, who will be eventually reunited in conciliatory way, but the relation between "the re-volutionary forces" committed to injustice and "the counter-revolutionary forces" to justice.
Strictly speaking, north Korea's call for reunifiction for Korea is nothing but lip-service and is con-sidered merely a dependent means to unify this country by instigating communist revolution in the south. In other words, north Korea's call for "reunification of fatherland" is not designed to simply unify this artificially divided country, but pursue complete communication and expedite the ultimate victory of the Korean revolution resorting to violence.
North Korea's strategy of "the south Korean revolution" is bound to be systematized and developed into the framework of revolutionary line of anti-peace and nation, since the north has been recklessly stuck to violent revolution and class consciousness.
Kim Il-sung advocates the consolidation of "the three kinds of revolutionary forces" as a basic st-rategy in a bid to materialize south Korean revolution. They are "the revolutionary forces of north Korea", "the revolutionary forces of south Korea" and "the international revolutionary forces".
Revolutionary forces of north Korea, as a leading and a decisive forces among the three, will be-come a revolutionary base for the achievement of "south Korean revolution".
The strengthening of the revolutionary forces of north Korea could be regarded as an attacking forces against the south under the pretext fo supporting the revolutionary forces of south Korea, while securing the structure of Kim Il-sung's leadership and the Workers' Party of Korea.
Kim Il-sung regards the revolutionary forces of south Korea as a part of main forces and an el-ement to be consolidated with the revolutionary forces of north Korea in the course of ma-terializing Korean revolution at decisive moment. It could be taken for Kim's expression that if the nature of Marxist-Leninist revolutionary party playing a key role for the victory of the south Ko-rean revolution as an vanguard and a political counselor in revolutionary struggle can not be le-galized, he can not help but employ the tactics of underground operation.
In fact, the strengthening the revolutionary forces of south Korea, an alter ego of the Workers' Party of Korea, is designed to form and command main forces of the revolution by mobilizing under-ground organization as a main element in the South, and to form a broad "Anti-U.S. United Front" to drive the U.S. forces out of south Korea by employing the tactics of United Front comprising every revolutionary element available. The Strengthening of struggle potential to carry out "People's Democratic Revolution" by instigating an anti-government massive popular uprising in the south is also taken into account.
Kim Il-sung regards the international revolutionary forces as an international supporting forces for the achievement of both the south Korean revolution and the Korean revolution as a whole. With due regard to strengthening of the three kinds of revolutionary forces as a basis of north Korea's strategy of revolution in the south, entire northern half of the Korean peninsula seems to be utilized as a principal base of revolution, and it is not too much to say that the revolutionary forces of north Korea, in fact, should be regarded as an offensive weapon committed to indirect invasion of the south.
The revolutionary forces of south Korea is a leading element among others and is mobilized in the invasion of south Korea as an indirect aggression forces by taking advantage of vulnerable points of our society.
What is of prime importance here is to work out a countermeasures to cope with dual challenges designed in north Korea's strategy of south Korean revolution.
In general, the following three countermeasures could be considered.
First, we must seize exact essence and threatening factor implied in north Korea's strategy of south Korean revolution and brace up our strong will for the safeguard of freedom.
Second, we must foster our military and economic powers utilized as deterent mechanism to block north Korea's direct military provocation, while solidifying our will for the safeguard of freedom through the establishment of sound national conciliation to dissipate indirect threat caused by political conflict at home.
Third, we must be well prepared to cope with north Korea's plot to agitate our social order in such way as toadstool taking root in moldy by simply taking advantage of social vulnerability.
Like social revolution has never set foot in any place of the world in the past contrary to Marxist idea, communist revolution would not take place in the south when individual freedom, democracy, well-being and national conciliation soundly prevail there. This is the valuable lesson we have learned from the history.
