Juche

Juche is the official state ideology of North Korea, formulated by Kim Il-sung. It emphasizes self-reliance and independence in political, economic, and military matters, rejecting external influence. Juche promotes the idea that the people, particularly the working class, should lead their own destiny through a strong centralized government. It combines elements of Marxism-Leninism with a focus on Korean nationalism, asserting the importance of the nation’s culture and identity. Essentially, Juche calls for North Korea to develop its own socialist path, prioritizing national sovereignty and self-sufficiency over reliance on foreign powers.
