Folkeparti

The Korean People's political party primarily refers to the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), which is the founding and ruling political party of North Korea. It was established in 1949 through the merger of the Workers' Party of North Korea and…   the Workers' Party of South Korea. The WPK is deeply rooted in the principles of Juche, a political ideology of self-reliance that was introduced by Kim Il-sung, the country's first leader. Juche is often considered a variant of Marxism-Leninism, adapted to the Korean context, emphasizing independence in political, economic, and military affairs.<br /><br />The values and policies of the WPK are centered around the absolute leadership of the party, the promotion of a centralized economy, and the development of a self-reliant defense capability. The party advocates for the unity and solidarity of the Korean people under the leadership of the Kim dynasty, which has led the country since its establishment. The WPK's governance model rejects Western democracy and capitalism, positioning itself as a guardian of the country's sovereignty against foreign influence, particularly from the United States and its allies.<br /><br />Socialism is a core value of the WPK, aiming to build a society where the means of production are owned by the state, and wealth is distributed according to need. The party also emphasizes the importance of ideological purity and loyalty to the leadership, with a significant focus on mass mobilizations and propaganda to maintain the regime's stability and control.<br /><br />Over the years, the WPK has adapted its policies to address domestic and international challenges, but its commitment to the Juche ideology, the leadership of the Kim family, and the goal of reunifying Korea under socialism remain unchanged. The party controls all aspects of North Korean life, from the government to the economy, and the military, ensuring that its values and policies are deeply ingrained in the fabric of North Korean society.Les mer
