On October 17, Juche 15 (1926), the great leader Comrade KIM IL SUNG formed the "Down-with-Imperialism Union" after gathering nationalist youths to prepare armed struggle against the Gun of the barbaric colonial rule of the imperialists and to liberate Korea!
The Down-with-Imperialism Union (DIU) was the first revolutionary vanguard organization formed by nationalist leader Comrade KIM IL SUNG, the founding father of socialist Korea, 97 years ago. Korean people, after the military occupation by Japan (1905), had ceaselessly waged various forms of struggle to regain their national sovereignty and independence.
Comrade KIM IL SUNG, who embarked on the struggle to save the destiny of his suffering nation in his teens, learned a serious lesson from the preceding nationalism movement and early communist movement and decided to take a way different from theirs. Hence, Leader KIM IL SUNG founded the DIU on October 17, 1927, with young people of a new generation.
The DIU put it forward as its program to overthrow the Japanese imperialists, achieve Korea’s liberation and independence, build socialism and communism in Korea, and further struggle for the global victory of communism after defeating imperialism. Under the leadership of Comrade KIM IL SUNG the Korean revolution which started with the formation of the DIU has made brisk headway along the road of independence, and unity over the past 97 years. Independence is the fundamental principle and the basic stance of the Korean revolution upheld by the DIU.
