About “On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and Establishing Juche in Ideological Work”

On Eliminating Dogmatism and Formalism and Establishing Juche in Ideological Work, also known as the "Juche speech," was delivered by Kim Il Sung on 28 December 1955. This speech introduced the term "Juche" publicly for the first time. It is regarded as one of Kim's most significant works and a pivotal moment in North Korean history. The speech was published in 1960 and has been reprinted in multiple edited versions since. Scholars debate whether the speech established Juche as a distinct ideology or simply emphasized the Korean people's role in the revolution. Some argue that the ideology was later developed by Hwang Jang-yop after rediscovering the speech. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
