We have come to see that (it is through) the deeper understanding and creative and productive interchange between such dynamic revolutionary traditions that the world revolutionary process will deepen and intensify under the banner of Chajusong (independence).

(3 The concept that Man is a being with (one which has a natural affinity with Chajusong is) best expressed by the ideology of the Black Liberation Movement. "It is my deep conviction", wrote Kwame Nkrumah, "that all peoples wish to be free, and that the desire for freedom is rooted in the soul of every one of us."

Again, Kwame Nkrumah urges: "Let us remember always that in the final analysis the masses are the final arbiter. They will always choose freedom and justice, as against oppression and corruption." This accords entirely with the statement of Comrade Kim Jong Il: "Defending Chajusong is an absolute requirement of man as a social being and his inalienable fundamental right."
